You can find me in the camp of asserts everywhere, even in release build. Think of it as "better to crash here with a message than crash later without one." ASSERT_EVEN_IN_RELEASE(lhs.size() == rhs.size()); for (int i = 0; i < lhs.size(); i++) { sum += lhs[i]*rhs[i]; }

Tiny Glade's rendering started simple, but now we have real-time global illumination, GPU-driven rendering, novel DoF, ray tracing, and entirely too much ray marching :D Wanna know more? Come see my GPC talk! Nov 14, Breda, NL. graphicsprogrammingconference.nl/#tiny-glade

For those of you at Siggraph, make sure to stop by the Advances course for a healthy dose of VBuffer rendering slides.

Slides are up!

meshoptimizer 0.22 is out! Featuring significant improvements to simplifier (attribute simplification, fewer topology restrictions, component pruning), new provoking vertex algorithm (thanks to John Hable), clusterization improvements & gltfpack size optimizations. Thanks to

Introducing Glove Sculpts. Created from high-quality 3D scans, carefully cleaned, retopologized, and precision-sculpted to ensure exceptional detail. This library includes tactical, work, casual, winter, sports, and more glove styles. triplegangers.com These models are

In case you want to know what I'll be doing for the next 10 or so hours...

RenderDoc v1.36 is now available! This version brings support for debugging DXIL shaders, as well as adding raytracing capture support to Vulkan and D3D12. Full release notes: github.com/baldurk/render… Binary builds: renderdoc.org/builds

meshoptimizer 0.23 is out! Featuring vertex codec v1 (increased compression ratio, faster decompression), even faster decompression on Apple Silicon, improvements to meshlet builder with fewer disconnected clusters and more options for clustered raytracing and hierarchical

Local lights are now live in HypeHype! 🎉 I developed a new stochastic lighting algorithm — from concept to prototype to production — in just 6 months. Super proud of this one! [Details in thread 🧵] Here's a walkthrough of a game I relit with local lights
