Rigid Gems by FerioWorks

FerioWorks develops proprietary real-time optical rendering technology focused on transparent materials and physically-based light simulation.

Since 2009, we have continuously researched and built custom rendering pipelines — evolving from early DirectX experiments to modern GPU ray tracing architectures.

Our work explores:

• Real-time refraction and dispersion
• Internal light transport in complex materials
• Multi-layer optical simulation
• Custom engine-level rendering design

Rigid Gems is our long-running technology project and public showcase of this research.

In 2026, part of this rendering technology evolved into an interactive Steam application:
“RigidGems Museum.”

This channel documents the technical evolution, experiments, and applied projects built on our real-time optical rendering systems.
