hi hemlo i struggle with developing videogames my games:

Decided to check out how water is rendered in Counter-Strike 2. Given how interactive water in CS2 is, I expected to see some cellular fluid simulation, but turns out they just use a low-resolution off-screen buffer with flat 2D decals used for various aspects of water. Reminds me of HL2 water :)

Experimenting with S3TC/BC1/DXT1 compression. The idea is to intentionally leak channel data into each other to reduce blockiness and get at least some data instead of averaged out 4x4 blocks.

raytraced reference vs normal map + bent normals and ao for self-shadowing + separate bent normals and ao texture for light bounce 🤔

Came up with a cursed workaround for baking bent normals purely in Blender 3D using the raycast shader node. Bent normals are usually used for self-shadowing and reflection occlusion. 1. Regular normal map 2. Normal map + raytraced shadows 3. Normal map + bent normal map

Trying to approximate flashlight in M3G (~OpenGL ES 1.1) 1. Disable all scene lights, enable omni light at player position 2. Render the scene 3. Render flat 2D flashlight mask 4. Disable flashlight omni light, enable other scene lights 5. Render the scene again using additive blending 6. Voila?

Spent my whole January working on a new MascotCapsule v3 implementation in pure MIDP 2.0 Now you can run games previously exclusive to Sony Ericsson phones on any powerful enough J2ME cellphone or easily add MCv3 support to your J2ME emulator without worrying about OpenGL/ES support

So, it turns out, to achieve good looking caustics in Blender with Cycles you need to disable "filter gloss" option and NOT use "cast/receive shadow caustics" options

Silent Hill 4 uses interesting volumetric light / light glare approximation. Instead of drawing sprites at each light source, full-screen subdivided plane with procedural vertex colors is rendered and blended with game frame.

Does anyone know how Climax Studios implemented shadow maps on PS2 and PSP in Silent Hill: Origins and Shattered Memories?

Was wondering why vertex lighting looks ugly in linear RGB compared to sRGB Turns out it's due to interpolation in linear color space. Interpolating sqrt(col) fixes the issue I also tried sqrt(1/col) but it looks wrong on smooth normals I wonder if this can be applied to lightmaps too

This is a great thread
@hillsguy.bsky.social
, I'll add a bit more context here for anyone interested. Yes there's no fancy sim - it just uses a water interaction buffer as a target for the particle system rendering, so we could use the power of particle system we already have.
add a skeleton here at some point

Made cloth physics using compute shaders in webgpu as a test assignment for a job. Got rejected anyway. Well, anyways, at least I implemented cloth physics for the first time and tried out new graphics API...

Attempt to approximate light sampling from surface area to smooth out the vertex lighting a bit. It kinda works, but I was expecting polygonal mesh structure visible due to vertex lighting to disappear, but it didn't... off / 1.414 units disk radius / 2 units disk radius

Probably many of you have heard about palette swapping (and also palette cycling), which old games (up to PlayStation 2) utilized to to add visual variety without consuming too much VRAM

Worked on the Nintendo DS version of ClassiCube a few days ago a bit. It's still not very playable, but at least it's a bit faster and better looking than it was.

Finally added simplified frustum culling to my potentially visible set calculation program Now processing this map (328 meshes, 217 tris) takes 48 sec on my 1660 ti, previously it was 130 sec I render 8 256x cubemaps per cell and fill vis grid using DDA in compute shader
