Capsaicin is not just for tacos, it's also our developer rendering framework! v1.3 is out now: 🌶️ Added heat with GI-1.2, which includes multiple-bounce indirect lighting. 🌶️ HDR support with spicier tone mapping. And much, much more: gpuopen.com/learn/gi-1-2...

Only 26 minutes? Fiiiine, I’ll rewatch PsychOdyssey then.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct. That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9nO...

This was such an amazing experience! Now I want to play MGS2 again!

Absolutely adored Keeper! @leepetty.bsky.social and @doublefine.com have done an amazing job!

Still thinking about the Blood Incantation gig in London…

After quite a bit of work, I am finally done with the first blog post about ocean rendering! You can find it here: rtryan98.github.io/2025/10/04/o... I've also decided to create a video to showcase the ocean simulation in motion: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OXm...

New blog post! In "Billions of triangles in minutes" we'll walk through hierarchical cluster level of detail generation of, well, billions of triangles in minutes. Reposts welcome! zeux.io/2025/09/30/b...

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...

For quite a while I've been working on a Fast Fourier Transform based ocean simulation in my render engine. Whilst there is still a lot to work on, I'm excited to see the result once I've added IBL to this renderer.

Weapons was such a great movie. My favourite of this year so far. Go see it with the biggest audience possible. It’s a total blast!

AMD FSR Redstone is our upcoming suite of ML-powered AMD #FidelityFX neural rendering technologies. 🟥 Get your game Redstone ready with #FSR 3.1.4 🟥 We've also updated our #UnrealEngine FSR 3 & Radeon Anti-Lag 2 plugins to support UE 5.6. Details ➡️ gpuopen.com/learn/amd-fs...

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...

With @briankaris.bsky.social winning this year’s SIGGRAPH Practitioner award, it’s a great time to repost his HPG 2022 keynote, which is one of the best talks I’ve ever seen. The tech is cool, yes, but what makes the talk is Brian’s approach to R&D and invention. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRnj...

Here is a new blog post of mine, where I dive deep into the theory and math behind ReSTIR GI. Big thanks to Markus Kettunen for verifying the theory, reviewing the article, and catching a key detail I had missed. agraphicsguynotes.com/posts/unders...

I recently started tinkering with mesh shaders in my toy engine to get a feel for what is involved in adding support for them and potential performance improvement opportunities and wrote a blog post detailing my findings. interplayoflight.wordpress.com/2025/05/05/m...

Psychonauts was released exactly 20 years ago today! So proud of that little game! Thank you to all of you out there who enjoyed it and continue to spread the love! We have a fun little week planned with the big print and merch release this Monday. Love you all! @doublefine

In today's new blog post, I try to provide some intuition and clear up some misconceptions about early Z cull behavior on desktop GPUs. Have a read if that interests you! therealmjp.github.io/posts/to-ear...

My team is hiring. Primarily looking for a SW dev with experience in: * DX12/DXR graphics engine development. * Tool development. Potentially ideal for a game dev looking to make a pivot. Location may be negotiable. (Ignore the AI/ML label in the title) careers.amd.com/careers-home...

The all Team Red build is complete! Small form factor cases are surprisingly fun to build in.

I decided to open source my implementation of Surfel Radiance Cascades Diffuse Global Illumination, since I'm not longer actively working on it. Hopefully the code can serve as a guide to others who can push this idea further :) github.com/mxcop/src-dgi

🎉 The AMD Radeon Developer Tool Suite package has been updated for the @AMDRadeon RX 9070 Series! 🎉 ✨ We’ve made loads of amazing updates to all our essential GPU tools, highlights here: gpuopen.com/learn/radeon... Here's a thread with 🧵 with more details about each update 👇 (1/7)

Rivers of Nihil were as tight as ever!

I've had parts of this written down for a while - but I thought it was about time to document the detailed version of what happened during Balatro development localthunk.com/blog/balatro...

🚀 Today is AMD RDNA 4 day! To celebrate, we've got new content on GPUOpen: 🔥 Machine-readable ISA for RDNA 3.5/4 🔥 #opensource Interactive Streaming SDK 🔥 Updates to AMF + Capsaicin Find out more: gpuopen.com/learn/new_co...

RX 9070 XT release day! Very proud of this one. Hope those who manage to snag one enjoy it. If you're struggling to find stock, I recommend checking out Microcenter if you have a physical B&M store nearby. They appear to be somewhat bot-proof given that these are being sold in-store only.

@fcama.bsky.social and the other wizards from the FSR team should be very proud!

Still thinking about the Opeth concert from last week…

Skin Deep was the best thing I played during this recent Steam Next Fest. As an im-sim fiend, this was right up my alley. Plus the humour totally landed for me.

🔥 Don't miss the reveal of the next gen AMD Radeon RX 9000 series, along with new technologies, on February 28th at 8am ET/7am CT/5am PT. 🎉 You can watch the unveiling LIVE on the AMD Gaming YouTube channel: bit.ly/3CRgfvX

Our thoughts with the family & friends of Viktor Antonov. He was a visionary who added a unique and powerful voice to our medium. Moreover, we interviewed several of his colleagues over the years and were always confronted with broad smiles when his name came up. Thank you Viktor. Rest in peace.

Started putting together a new toy gfx framework based on python with pybind11 for directx12 etc.

Hell yes.

I just pushed a new "Lite" version of my spherical harmonics shader library for HLSL: github.com/TheRealMJP/S... The Lite version does not use templates, and is compatible with FXC or other compilers that don't support templates and operator overloads.
