Reminder that the coding help I need the most for Dear ImGui are related to tech that are foreign to me: Vulkan, OSX, Metal, Android, Linux. Many open issues/pr, need quality brain time, design time, explanations & reviews to close topics rather that have more opened: github.com/ocornut/imgu...

Khronos is running a survey on shading language usage www.surveymonkey.com/r/LKWFQ3M

Half the stuff in the new build exist purely so I can show off that we have shadows in the DOOM engine nowadays.

Shipshapes for a cancelled animated project. A recurring theme.

I implemented multiple fixes & improvements in Vulkan/D3D12 Memory Allocator libraries, on my fork for now. If you use any of these, please give it a try so we validate they work fine before I turn them into official releases. github.com/sawickiap/Vu... github.com/sawickiap/D3...

@spacegooose.bsky.social I loved the space car and needed to try it for myself. I resized for 8.5 x 11 and printed on regular weight paper. This was my first paper craft and it was really fun to make even if i made some mistakes in quality towards the last bit #papercraft

I'm a little late to the party on this one since it's from January, but I just read this great blog post by Jure Triglav walking through implementing surfel-based global illumination. It's got a bunch of really cool interactive toys/visualizers! juretriglav.si/surfel-based...

Ok, new sokol-sample for Slug text rendering is out! This has been ported from this Odin sample with some quick'n'dirty improvements (most notably: batching for glyphs) tangled.org/dosha.dev/so... WebGL2 sample: floooh.github.io/sokol-html5/... ...and WebGPU: floooh.github.io/sokol-webgpu...

I really liked seeing this game called line wobbler on the #amaze2026

dear imgui 1.92.8 released! github.com/ocornut/imgu... - many fixes/improvements for tables, text inputs, axis auto-sizing, multi-select & box-select, clipper, key ownership system etc. - ImDrawList::AddRect() sig change⚠️ - Bonus: a renderer agnostic standard for changing texture sampler.

Here's an awesome new blog post by Maxime Heckel on rendering realistic skies and atmospheres. There's a ton of really cool interactive widgets illustrating each of the steps; I highly recommend giving it a read and giving the interactive widgets a try! blog.maximeheckel.com/posts/on-ren...

New blog post. Just thoughts this time. maxliani.wordpress.com/2026/05/11/p...

Loading images is one of the most fundamental things a browser does. It turns out that doing it efficiently from JavaScript is an open problem. There are multiple APIs available and the right choice depends on the browser you are targeting. www.ludicon.com/castano/blog...

New blog post! In "Quantizing tangent frames", we look at various established methods to represent tangent frames in the vertex data, squeeze a few variants into 32 bits per vertex and look at the resulting precision. zeux.io/2026/04/30/q... Share, like and subscribe!

New DirectX 12 Agility SDK. Just preview version, but I hope these additions will reach the retail version soon. I'm excited about CopyBuffer/TextureRegions, clears, and FillBuffers - finally available without implicit barriers around them! devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/shad...

Add Polygon second pass: "predictive snap points" and numerical input to finetune distance and direction of the current point position in respect to previous.

I need to revamp my modeling operators, especially those that require user interaction. Here is first attempt at the Add Polygon operator. It's a first pass; it needs some work, but I feel it's not a bad start.

In this video series, the team and I dive into some of the tech behind Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and what powers the Anvil engine. We cover Atmos, Large-Scale Rendering, Micropolygon, and Ray Tracing. #Anvil #AssassinsCreed #AssassinsCreedShadows www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

meshoptimizer 1.1 is out! github.com/zeux/meshopt... Featuring two new major features, meshlet topology compression and opacity micromaps, as well as a few smaller features and improvements! More information in the infographic and release above :) Boosts and repository stars are welcome!

One of my favorite old school rendering tricks is the abusing mip maps for fades and Fresnel. At this point perhaps most famously done in Mario Sunshine for the ocean water sparkles. blog.mecheye.net/2018/03/deco...

Running #NVIDIA’s Zorah assets in #Anvil. Our Micropolygon (MPH) pipeline streams massive geometric detail, enabling film-level complexity in real time. MPH already shipped in #AssassinsCreedShadows, scaling from Switch 2 all the way up to high-end PCs. schedule.gdconf.com/session/micr...

Happy to work with a very cool team and contribute to the forest ray tracing project. youtu.be/RgpAc7U29BA Great collaboration with CD Projekt Red. We will open source the Vulkan sample later this year.

Great to see renewed interest in #AssassinsCreedUnity following the new 60fps patch. If you’re curious about some of the tech behind it— global illumination and early GPU-driven pipeline —I shared a few details in my GDC talk. youtu.be/yj5pYktC3X8?... #AssassinsCreed

Yesterday on stream we've sketched out most of the support code for descriptor heaps. If you want to see the rest of the owl, I've committed the remaining pieces after the stream. For now all of the previous descriptor code is still required to support production drivers. github.com/zeux/niagara...

A little bear figurine carved out of amber some 6,000 years ago 🐻❤️ A hole runs through the bear’s torso suggesting it was threaded on a cord, perhaps worn or carried as a protective charm. Found in a peat bog near Słupsk, Poland, in 1887. 📷 National Museum in Szczecin #FindsFriday #Archaeology

While working on spark.js, I realized that common normal map compression formats weren’t supported in popular frameworks like three.js. I added the necessary support to three.js and wrote an article to shed some light on the topic: ludicon.com/castano/blog... #webgpu #webgl #threejs #sparkjs

A colleague sent me this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jVo... No further comments needed, it's **very** good. I've seen some of his videos in the past, but I missed this one. Glad I saw it.

This feels like the texturing version of spinning around my model. Playing with carve groups in @marmoset3d.bsky.social to get grey metalness values through intermediate oxidation.
