teknosaur Don Norman did a course based on his book with Udacity: youtube.com/watch?v=fy-J_E… Also you should checkout Design: The creation of artifacts in society, it's a book and a course on Coursera. coursera.org/learn/design

My talk from Better Software Conference last week is up on youtube. I present my findings on thread synchronization and job systems that I learned while parallelizing the physics solver. youtube.com/watch?v=Kvsvd6…

Finger tracking soon #screenshotsaturday #vr

Nonlinear perspective distortion, rest of this topic will become thread under this post over next few days (unless I decide there is no point to it) #gamedev #rendering #vfx

I got VR finger tracking to work with a rigged hand mesh.

Lesson learned: Each tool has their use. Hashmaps are a big performance issue at high frequency (per draw call), but are convenient at lower frequencies (per pass). We also use hash map when adding objects to the scene (/ material change) to select the PSO variant & instance bin.

Worth resharing this oldish but still great presentation as an example of how perf should be viewed holistically, maximising all GPU units' utilisation even if it means making a particular drawcall's execution slower to achieve this s3.amazonaws.com/nd.images/rese… youtube.com/watch?v=CvS6rX…

i’m sorry is this that scene from no country for old men

I think I've written the world's fastest Blender exporter. It exports full levels in 9 milliseconds. Check out this video where I show live editing of levels from blender, and it updates instantly in the game. For some context: Okay, since the beginning of development on this

Bigscreen Byond 2 came. Didn't realize the cable and link were separate. 3-4 week delivery ETA 🥲

Understanding GPU Architecture from Cornell cvw.cac.cornell.edu/gpu-architectu… During a low-level discussion at a casual meetup, many folks were interested in understanding GPUs more closely. While CPUs optimize for complex control flow (see those big cores + caches), the GPUs maximize

Check out this screenshot of the original Gordon Freeman model used for Half-Life 2's box art. Feels like something our eyes were never meant to see: 80.lv/articles/take-…

Casey’s lecture on API design is truly evergreen. The best I’ve ever seen by a mile. The more programming experience I get, the more meaningful this talk becomes. It so sharply clarifies why bad APIs are bad and great APIs are great. youtu.be/ZQ5_u8Lgvyk

Matrix: Path of Neo on PlayStation 2 has ragdolls, rigid body destruction, cloth physics, dynamic shadow maps, multiple levels of planar reflections, cubemaps. This looks very advanced for the time. Though performance slows down a lot in places.
