New video is up on the channel now! The Terribly Tragic, Totally Avoidable, Absolute Collapse Of The Gaming Industry

in a couple days the gaming industry will never be the same.......

The Dirt Jam officially starts today! If you haven't seen the new video, for the entire month of July, I'm encouraging people to try implementing terrain generation! For more info check out the itch event page!

New video is up on the channel now! Intro To Terrain Generation exciting community event announcement is at the end of the video!

new video in a couple days along with an exciting community announcement please look forward to it and also free your schedules for the entire month of july ty ty

Unity pivoting to AI tooling is one reason I have moved over to Godot, really insane showcase here from all angles lol "we have no control on the generation" oh okay why make it then

my projects always look like shit

big things are happening

New video is up on the channel now! Why Did PS1 Games Look Like That?

Excited to announce I'll be giving a talk at GodotCon in Boston next month! I'll be talking a bit about compositor effects, please look forward to it

I sort of naively assumed the ps1 just used bayer dithering but they actually use their own dither spread, and colors are 15 bit not 16 bit so this dither and quantization is properly ps1 accurate now would post a bayer dither comparison but i'm lazy

snow time

bridge time 3

dithering wow

bridge time 2

bridge time

this sculpting shit is hard

New video is up on the channel now! What is perlin noise? please enjoy thank you more exciting stuff coming soon

never really took the time to implement perlin noise myself, pretty neat

working on that new shit

Fixed a bug with my Godot compute wrapper that I'm not sure how I didn't encounter during development but now am after the video is out lol so if you have that downloaded definitely get the update

New video up on the channel now! How Game Engines Make Shaders Easier

Been working on a Godot compute shader wrapper that handles shader compilation, hot reloading, uniform caching, and construction of the command list which significantly reduces the boilerplate you have to write to get a shader dispatched will be available by eom

@acerola.gg ’s videos are great because he forces you to do your own implementations instead of doing a mindless tutorial. you learn a LOT more in the process. here’s some progress i made on my own procedural water done in OpenGL/C++/GLSL. it’s missing some realism, but it looks great so far!

Writing compute shaders for godot compositor effects has been tiresome so I spent the past few days writing an interpreter for a wrapper language for glsl compute shaders to allow multiple kernels in one shader file Here's what a separable blur compute shader file looks like with 2 kernels

new video is up on the channel now! I'm moving to godot woww www.youtube.com/@Acerola_t

it's a christmas miracle, my first 1 million views on a video

i've gotta stop making projects i can't post about

any graphics oomfs that can give pros and cons for vulkan push constants cause the docs don't really go over that very well lol

New video is up on the channel now! The Problem With Procedural Generation it's my birthday so you legally have to go watch it

new video in like 8 hours please look forward to it

check this out

solved a problem with the particles for the next video which was that random transformations couldnt be too crazy otherwise the shape would exit the bounds of the voxels this is no longer a problem so I can generate much cooler shapes that will always be in bounds now

Still workin on the fractal stuff

if yall havent seen the new video yet the channel merch is now live! I'd really appreciate if you considered supporting the channel so I can create more in depth graphics videos. You can buy one here! -> acerola.gg
