🍞 Bake faster in Marmoset Toolbag! New breakdown by @oddenough.art covers using Toolbag's Low to Low Baking & the Bevel Shader to skip high poly cleanup, merge shapes non-destructively, bake from low poly meshes, & cutting days of work down to hours. Read now: marmoset.co/posts/bake-t...

Outlines based on object ids, a background gradient and a subtle vertical gradient overlay on the objects. Fun, but a distraction from making decisions how to proceed with this 🫠 #gamedev #raylib #solodev

Was curious about what NASA stuff the Internet Archive might have and came across this gorgeous bit of cassette/diskette futurism: wind tunnel software and hardware at the Lewis Research Centre. The worm logo is so fitting for that kind of display. <3

Anpther major update to our cluster lod ray tracing sample. Zorah scene available as glTF raw.githubusercontent.com/nvpro-sample... BLAS caching github.com/nvpro-sample... BLAS merging github.com/nvpro-sample... Special thanks to Adam Marrs, Pyarelal Knowles for ideas and Chris Perrella for zorah.

in the spirit of sharing, my improvised (aka mess) shader: www.shadertoy.com/view/3fSyWG . only 'new' thing I tried was doing aa/bloom by using a cauchy distribution on the ray jitter, its a sharp but long tailed distribution. gives a pleasing analog glow, still all 1 pass, no rendertargets or blurs

Looks like my calendar is free from November onward. Available for concept deign jobs for hard surface/sci fi work! Re shares appreciated!

I've got a new blog post for all of you fine folks! It runs through the additions to D3D12 since it was released, and finishes up with some of the things that have changed for me personally in my code. (And yes it's really been 10 years 👴). therealmjp.github.io/posts/ten-ye...

RenderDoc v1.40 is now available! This version includes support for VK_EXT_descriptor_buffer, and vulkan 1.4, as well as some other bug fixes an quality of life improvements. Full release notes: github.com/baldurk/rend... Binary builds: renderdoc.org/builds

One of my favorite things about studying 2D hand drawn animation roughs is timing charts, which I think gives cool insight into the artist's intent. Well, TIL there's now a Blender plugin that lets you animate in 3D with 2D-style timing charts; how cool! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ejen...
