@JavaCoolDude That's what we do. Accumulate to low res SH lightmap atlas and do normal mapping in PS. It works pretty well, except we don't currently have a clean way of allocating in atlas based on screen space size.

@mirror2mask @PeterPikeSloan @MichalDrobot @axelgneiting @eturquin @WaylorBrinsk Is this live streamed, or will video be available on demand from the 25th?

@castano Are the improvements made to this backported to nvtt?

[Daniel Wallin @danielwallin]

@reduzio @webcrumblick @Raven67854 For a naive path tracer, 1024 rays per texel is nothing when your light source is something else than the sky. Even at just 3 bounces.

@axelgneiting @reduzio @newincpp How do you do geo decals in fwd? Z pre + decal g-buffer?

@TitusWinters @Cor3ntin @TartanLlama @thephantomderp I use optional<T&> all the time as well. For me it isn't so much that T* isn't semantically clear, but rather that: 1) optional is more expressive, and 2) It's annoying to have to care in a generic context.

[Daniel Wallin @danielwallin]

@noop_dev @trav_downs So you have perf sensitive code where the critical path is size()? Seems reasonable.

[Daniel Wallin @danielwallin]

@Bobby_Anguelov @RyanJuckett @ikrimae Well, we don't have an idiomatic way of doing things like that, so I guess it depends. The weapon would typically be a separate GameObject, and the sync between the weapon and character would be depend on what we were trying to achieve.

@Bobby_Anguelov @RyanJuckett @ikrimae Our engine is single instance per component type, but our MeshComponent holds any number of meshes.

@okonomiyonda @miniciv @ocornut @nothings @paniq All industries are exactly the same in this context. There are two parties with completely clashing interests. Unions exist to make the weaker party stronger. This is neither complex nor unique.

@morten_skaaning @ChristerEricson @ssylvan @Domest0s @reduzio How would that happen? auto is a reference only when explicitly declared as one.

[Daniel Wallin @danielwallin]

@JJcoolkl We shipped with 5.1. Unravel 1 used Lua extensively, but we mostly moved away from it to an in-house visual language called Fabric. Mostly to make it usable by non-programmers, but also to get away from dynamic typing and GC. Performance was also a reason.

@SebAaltonen This is a really silly blanket statement. Yes, you should keep your mem access patterns sane. No, not all programs reduce to a linear iteration of data.

[Daniel Wallin @danielwallin]

@SebAaltonen @ArvidGerstmann Huh? That's exactly what rel-acq means, or am I misunderstanding what you meant?

Enjoying some early morning adventures with Yarny and friends. #UnravelTwo

@MittringMartin I used it on Unravel 2 to kill triangles on a water mesh on PC, XB1, PS4 and Switch.

@JoshuaBarczak @m_ninepoints IIRC this was changed in C++17. See https://t.co/EdeiWmhIeh

[Daniel Wallin @danielwallin]

@CppSage @unravel_game Thanks! Really happy that you were excited! It was a super fun port to work on.

[Daniel Wallin @danielwallin]

@Calm_Hawk @imranzomg FWIW it doesn't. It runs at either 600 or 900p.
