A dream was always to make a "cloud" tool. Now over the last 1-2 years I tried to build smth on and off. Now I made it work in the browser. WARNING! Depending on the settings it can take a lot of GPU power, so be careful. Only for people who know what they're doing. artbuddy.urlich.ch/cloudbox/

Vibrance now has radial and sweep gradients. github.com/romainguy/vi...

I've been working on a Kotlin/Compose Multiplatform to interpolate sRGB colors as mixtures of paints/pigments. It can produce results that are more appealing than the traditional sRGB interpolation that Composes uses (see screenshot). Not quite ready for release yet. github.com/romainguy/vi...

Naty Hoffman just wrapped up a career-spanning keynote on lessons learned from game development and beyond. Now underway: a fireside chat with Naty Hoffman and Eric Haines, joined by Omer Shapira - celebrating two remarkable careers in computer graphics. #I3D2026

This is a great example of why even small optimizations can matter at scale. Modern apps and systems can be affected by this kind of "death by a thousand cuts".

Modern DRAM is based on a brilliant design from IBM. But, we're still paying for a latency penalty that's existed since the 60s! In this video, I'm introducing my research project (Tailslayer) that immensely reduces p99.99 latency on traditional RAM!

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!

It is sadly true - androidx ktx libraries have been killed today and it is all Jake Wharton's doing. Details here: jakewharton.com/an-update-on... #androidx #androiddev

My erosion filter is out! Video, blog post, and shader source. It emulates erosion without simulation, so it's fast, GPU friendly, and trivial to generate in chunks. Explainer video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4V2... Companion blog post: blog.runevision.com/2026/03/fast... #ProcGen #vfx #GameDev

Here is a preview of the results for my next post in the series on micro-shadowing. Hopefully people that value craftsmanship, deliberate art direction, and attention to detail will find it more interesting than the AI slop being pushed.

Me taking a photo: this is a great shot! Me editing my photos: this is shit, it's all shit, I don't deserve a camera. 😅

This is a fantastic update to the tracing library that enables much easier and deeper understanding of your code, with extremely low overhead.

PSA: Starting Android Gradle Plugin 9.0 (or the latest stable version of R8): R8 will automatically optimize all Intrinsics.check* APIs in Kotlin automatically ! This should greatly help improve app performance (especially Compose given the large Kotlin library API surface).

You shared that androidx libraries are constantly in alphas and we listened. In the past two years while adding a ton of new libraries we actually increased the percentage of libraries that are complete or actively developed. The combo of these two groups went from 64% to 76%. #androidx #androiddev

After nine years of development, meshoptimizer has reached its first major version, 1.0! This release focuses on improvements in clusterization and simplification as well as stabilization. Here's a release announcement with more details on past, present and future; please RT! meshoptimizer.org/v1
