Calling the character for my real-time project done. Had paid an artist for the model (this is one configuration, there’s various outfits and styles), just took some effort to get everything connected on Blender. I’m using tools designed for Unreal Engine, so manual effort was necessary to get
People in the community had been asking about Stellar Blade, so decided to do a 3D video of the game with my ReShade 2D-to-3D effect Rendepth. While Stellar Blade actually does have an official stereoscopic patch from the developer, I was not able to record for YouTube when
Just got this banger new update for my 3D conversion ReShade effect called Rendepth. Code was pushed out to GitHub yesterday, and can be installed directly through the ReShade installer. The biggest change has been in (mostly) resolving the artifacts around discontinuities in depth (meaning glitches on first-person
Managed to get a good deal of work done while my internet was down for almost a week (it’s always something else). Just fixing bugs, and things that were half-working, so research was not required. Pretty amazing what you can accomplish just reading headers and with IDE auto-complete
Today I’m looking at the new Cube C1 lightfield mini-monitor from CubeVi, a start-up out of China producing “glasses-free” 3D display units. It appears to be aimed to compete directly with the Looking Glass Go, which debuted last year, and that I’ve been working with since launch. Both
Trying to validate and finalize all the shaders on my GL project. Still a bunch of editor features left to do, but the graphics are where I want so will just need to work on the boring stuff now and optimize. Brought back the old skin shader (screen-space
New demo showcasing a higher quality model with improved image-based lighting. Using spherical harmonics here (SH2), which I had from the beginning, but added automatic dominant light extraction when loading an HDRI image. This detects the sunlight, ambient environment lighting, and controls the shadowing. So basically everything in
Really happy to be a part of the 2025 edition of GP-Direct, a compilation of around 20 different “from scratch” 3D engines made by people from the graphics programming community. I submitted my Degine graphics demo as part of this, and also designed the YouTube thumbnail. Super stoked
Got together a new demo video for Degine, my custom OpenGL 3D game engine, showcasing the current state of the graphics. This 1 minute clip is my submission for the GP-Direct 2025 compilation, with a few dozen other indie game developers and graphics programmers. Stuck a peak at
Just got a massive update out for Rendepth, my stereo 3D image viewer and AI 2D-to-3D app. You can download for free at rendepth.com, source code is also available. Only the Windows and Linux versions are live right now, the MacOS version is an older build, since I
