@matseng @gregnacu Yeah, this one is great. It also makes a super satisfying sound. It's a bit pricey outside of Japan but totally worth it imo

meshoptimizer 1.1 is out!

Featuring two new major features, meshlet topology compression and opacity micromaps, as well as a few smaller features and improvements! Meshlet codec is heavily optimized for CPU decompression and output can be compressed further with Zstandard; opacity micromap rasterizer outputs hardware ready data representation and is fast and easy to integrate.

Boosts and repository stars are welcome!

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 clusterization, new algorithms for hierarchical clusterization, simplification quality improvements and more.

Thanks to Valve for sponsoring most of the work on the core library in this release!

[Digital Foundry @digitalfoundry]

Today on Digital Foundry - what is RTX Mega Geometry and how does it run in Alan Wake 2? We're looking at efficiency, quality and performance improvements here and curiously, in our tests, it's RTX 20-series and 30-series that benefit most: https://t.co/q5qkHol01u

[Alan Wake 2 @alanwake]

The new PC update for Alan Wake 2 makes it the first game to feature NVIDIA RTX Mega Geometry technology, available on all GeForce RTX GPUs and laptops. @nvidiageforce

Also included is support for NVIDIA DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation which allows for additional visual refinement and performance increase, a new Ultra quality ray tracing preset, and more. #RTXOn
