After some late night coding nights I finally released px_render.h Single Header backend renderer (multithreaded, command based, render agnostic) github.com/pplux/px Heavily inspired by bgfx (@bkaradzic) and sokol_gfx (@FlohOfWoe )

bsky.app/profile/pplux.bsky.… Minimal WGPU Native demos update

I wrote a thing... "10 years of Dear ImGui" (long post) 🎉 github.com/ocornut/imgui/iss…

After 4 years of solo-dev rollercoaster... 😭 ✨Galaia is coming to Steam later this year!✨ ❤️Cute and fun action rogue-lite 💀Full of secrets and collectibles 🌺Beautiful fantasy setting 🤑Price of 4.99€ 🎮Steam Deck Compatible 🙏RTs & Wishlists incredibly appreciated! 😍

I tried @WebGPU on native a couple of years ago, and needed to refresh it a bit, so I built a minimal tiny example: github.com/pplux/minimal-wgp… It uses @FlohOfWoe amazing sokol_app for the window and github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu-nativ… for the backend.

I’m gonna give 10 random people that repost this and follow me $25,000 for fun (the $250,000 my X video made) I’ll pick the winners in 72 hours

dear imgui 1.90.1 released github.com/ocornut/imgui/rel… 30 fixes/improvements & new debug break tools

To all my friends at Mediatonic, I’m extremely heartbroken and overwhelmed by the news. At 2K we’re currently hiring for some roles so please DM me. (1/2)

I've updated my open source BRDF implementation (brdf.h) to v 1.2 - adding new VNDF sampling using spherical caps by Dupuy & Benyoub, reflectance parameter and more improvements. Grab it on GitHub here: github.com/boksajak/brdf. Original blog post is here: boksajak.github.io/blog/BRDF

Valve artist @rich_lord gave a great talk at SIGGRAPH HIVE 2023 that every rendering dev should watch. Tons of inspirational moments for shader development. The fractal sequence starting 29 minutes in is impressive. youtu.be/R-S9d-qFRHM?si=JvoE…

Simplified explanation of gaussian splatting for gfx engineers: You render all surfaces as stretched alpha blended point sprites. Sprites have gaussian blurred sphere texture. No triangles, just could of point sprites. It's like the old demoscene approach on steroids :)

Screen space shadows code by Graham Aldridge: bendstudio.com/siggraph Phantastic work released under Apache-2.0

Epic Games Store launched in 2018 with an 88% / 12% revenue split. Now developers can also choose a new option: launch your PC game on EGS first for 6 months for a 100% / 0% revenue split. Devs earn more money, Epic reaches new customers, everyone wins. theverge.com/2023/8/23/23843…

Another shadertoy thing: how to use shader derivatives to draw fixed-width lines using 2D curve equations as an example. shadertoy.com/view/mlXBRr

Finally, I'm rendering an SDF scene with splats for the first time. The shader that I used to voxelize is now generating a list of splats containing world positions, colors, and normals. A splats counter is increased and later used in a draw indirect call. #OpenGL #Graphics #GFX

The ultimate comparison of Hierarchical LOD graph performance rendered with CS and HW rasterization on desktop and mobile GPUs, including WebGPU, shows that algorithmic flexibility is much faster than any HW FFP: tellusim.com/04_hello_raster…

NVIDIA finally released Neuralangelo's source code! The model can turn videos from any device into detailed 3D structures, fully replicating buildings, sculptures, or other real aworld objects or spaces virtually. Here's how it works: A model utilizes a 2D video with multiple angles of an object or scene. I selects frames from different viewpoints to understand depth, size, and shape. The AI creates an initial 3D representation, similar to a sculptor shaping a subject. The render is optimized to enhance details, like a sculptor refining texture. The outcome is a 3D object or scene suitable for virtual reality, digital twins, or robotics.
