Our presentations on how @Playdead made INSIDE now has a home https://t.co/SYxNwwc1yM

[Arseny Kapoulkine 🇺🇦 @zeuxcg]

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!

The talk @RundlettGabe and I gave at GPC in November last year is finally out. I talk about the voxel rendering techniques we use in Teardown and Gabe covers the rendering in our new engine. Enjoy!

Great talk by idSoftware mentioning:
"ShaderPrintF, ShaderAsserts and ShaderPrimitive Drawing"

You can have similar functionality in any engine using HLSL/GLSL:

@TFTCentral If you animate the luminance in the darker levels, it becomes even more obvious. I wrote a test for this when I got my OLED laptop some seven years ago. I sent it to you back then as well :) https://t.co/4TPuF5Led7

New article! What do you do when profiling your code shows the slowdown isn't in your code, but deep in the kernel? Why, you grab the kernel source and go spelunking.

@MomentsInCG Does spectral rendering become faster if you only do a single sample of the spectrum?

[Tiago Sousa @idSoftwareTiago]

Siggraph 2025 “Advances in Real-Time Rendering in Games Part II” recording is now available.
It includes my lecture “Fast as Hell: idTech8 Global Illumination”.

My second blog post on spectral rendering is out. This one explains how to use wavelength importance sampling to minimize color noise while limiting the overhead to 0.3 ms and how to make BRDFs spectral.
