Finally caved and added mobility flags to Entropy. I decided to go for: - Static- You can create and destroy these objects, but you can't really modify them after the fact. At all. - Pinned- Only transforms are static. Everything else can change. - Dynamic- Anything can change at runtime.

wat da bird doin

You ever just go on the internet and

UE5-style VSM goodness. Also shader LODs are a thing now.

Why make a new editor when you can just use blender and OpenUSD all the things

Rigged bird?? Rigged bird!! #avali #GraphicsProgramming

I know I have big tail feathers but holy fuck

"Claude has solved a complex mathematical puzzle" Also Claude: "I'm sorry, you're right. 2 + 2 does not equal 5. I'll explain my proof about why 2 + 2 equals 5."

Delicious hardware accelerated rigging.

Testing the new texture streaming stuff around abnormality has worked out pretty great. Been able to have measurable VRAM improvements with the new texture quality modes- ranging from 3.5GB to 8GB depending on the quality setting instead of a constant 9-10GB. #SecondLife

Hm. I think I might make Entropy’s transparent pipeline a hybrid. Only use kbuffers for transparent surfaces that intersect rather than that being the norm.

There are three cats inside of you. Please seek immediate medical attention. Mittens is not pleased with this predicament and does have claws.

Horror film where there's a spooky ghost that only hurts bad people and can only be seen by said bad people with the protagonist being completely confused with no idea wtf is going on and that's the movie, no defeating the spooky ghost, just a very confused protagonist.

More GI. And specular. And also direct + GI.

A dream became reality. Thanks to @xiethezebra.bsky.social for the pic~

Hokay, now with the probe system (mostly) complete it’s time to get rigged meshes and blendshapes working. I put this one off since I want it to be fully hardware accelerated from the get-go. Also gives me a good excuse to support mixed-culling modes.

do you guys think he can take down the whole shelf by himself? #Avali

A little GI, as a treat.

Time to go already? o ^o

FWA was great. It showed me that I can have a chill time at an event without getting fucked up. That made me happy, and it got even better when I got to reconnect with old friends that I haven’t seen in several years. I felt like that I’ve got this. Which is not something I’ve felt in a long time.

Just a bit splotchy.

Almost got global illumination working in Entropy.

Bird is (marginally) awake

We’ve got the biggest balls of them all

“Peel your dick like a banana” is not as scary as “wreck your dick like mercury on aluminum” IMO

Now you can be the responsible parent. Hit the strip club after wrapping up at the PTA and move on to the motel 6 after you convince one of the strippers that you’re not a cop.

Amtlanta???

It just sucks, doesn't it? :( #Furry #FurryMeme #Meme #Avali

So things I got done yesterday before I go on my Atlanta trip: I got reflection probes working with octree driven LOD. It.. actually doesn’t look terrible.

Are we in Atlanta yet #avali

Ready for my flight to FWA!

Night before I fly out to Atlanta: adding reflection probes. Uses the scene's occlusion octree to place probes. Probes have full occlusion culling and such.

Delicious object culling

Xcode: Building 10/12 Also Xcode: Building 112/200 Xcode, again: Building 9/15 Please make up your mind.

Things that aged like milk

What's done in Entropy: - Meshlet culling on both native mesh shaders and emulation - PBR pipeline - Texture array based virtual shadow mapping - Static shadow map caching - Light shaping - USD scene loader - Bindless textures - Material batching (w/sub-batching!) #GraphicsProgramming

Wouldn't it be funny if Spaceballs 2 is actually just a prank being pulled by Mel Brooks

So finally tracked down the crash that’s been plaguing EntropyRender for the past few weeks. Wasn’t a missing resource lease. Wasn’t a missing mutex. Some. Random. Fucking. Structured. Buffer. That’s it. Just a random print buffer in a shader that was added while I was debugging something else.

BLÅHAJ accepts you for who you are

Finally got funny mouse game. Gotta say - I love how few fucks were given as far as the antagonists. And the gameplay is pretty good - it's like Doom and Bioshock with small bits of Cuphead sprinkled in here and there.

I hate being sick. One moment I feel horrible. The next I feel amazing. Then it’s back to trying not to hack up a lung.
