Has anyone ever implemented "Projective Displacement Mapping for Ray Traced Editable Surfaces"? If so, can I get some help? I cant solve these offsets between triangle boundaries for the life of me and I am totally stuck again(this is exactly what stopped me last time),any tips?

A significant amount of tech tuber "game dev" hot takes could be disproved (or, less frequently - proven) with a single pix or renderdoc capture. Following some basic frame profiler guides could dramatically improve content in this space.

Just announcing that I am open for contracting for the following year! Looking for a graphics/engine programmer to help you out on your project? Feel free to reach out. My expertise is primarily in graphics programming as well as console platforms. 🧵

Finally snapped: made a Vulkan layer that auto-labels objects with a stack trace at creation time. Now the validation layer can just tell me what I forgot to release on vkDestroyDevice :)

Another one that looks cool (and maybe more interesting to people that follow me!). Maybe not remote, but it's a pet friendly studio! jobs.arrowheadgamestudios.com/jobs/6282206...

MegaLights slides were just posted online. There's a bunch of details in slide notes if you're curious how our new Stochastic Direct Lighting solution works, why we made it and want to learn a bit about the problem space.

Are the slides of "Stochastic Tile-Based Lighting in HypeHype" available anywhere?

This is the project I've made solo during Slavic Game Jam 2025. Nothing fancy, not even a game, just 5 interactive shaders, to learn how to do custom GLSL shaders in Godot (incl. temporal feedback). Source code included. reg-697500.itch.io/shader-symbi...

I used Windows 11 since a few months for playing various games with my freshly released 9070XT. Now, I just wait for the next Ubuntu LTS, Mesa will be cooked enough and proton too... ^^

My lab will be recruiting at all levels. PhD students, postdocs, and a research engineering position (worldwide for PhD/postdoc, EU candidates only for the engineering position). If you're at SIGGRAPH, I'd love to talk to you if you are interested in any of these.

Back in 2021 I released a Vulkan sample that demonstrated adding ray-tracing to a traditional game render pipeline. Since then the code has rotted away and stopped working. So this week I finally resurrected it! Hope it will keep being a learning resource for beginners. github.com/diharaw/hybr...

For that weird, narrow segment of technically-minded programmers who want to know how we programmed 3D graphics in the 90s and also want to know about 80% of the stuff I programmed before RAD, I sat down for a 5 hour interview on the Wookash Podcast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1tX...

This video is great for teaching the basics of GJK. However, the approach is flawed for computing distance and only works for determining separation true/false. Unfortunately the author has disabled comments and people keep using this and ending up with broken code. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qupq...

I just had an idea for Live++ 3 for something that no other middleware - hot-reload solution or otherwise - allows you to do, which could be tremendously helpful for debugging.

Saw that "The Witcher 4" UE5 tech demo with the voxel trees for fast rendering at a distance? I figured... that should be easy to do in TinyBVH. :) So now TinyBVH can do voxel meshes.

Some more images from my lighting test showing off the volumetric (well, areametric?) nature of the lighting - it's all image-based, and runs in (almost) constant time no matter how many lights/shadow casters there are. (For those that don't know, I'm working on a variant of Radiance Cascades)
