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
Made this long-ass developer update for my OpenGL engine, Degine. Lots of info in the video, but I’m working on the character animation mostly and fixing bugs with stuff that was mocked up before. Graphics are in a good place (aside from the glitches), need to flesh out
After testing this new Odyssey 3D monitor from Samsung for about 2 weeks, I can say this right off the bat. They pulled it off. To put it simply, it’s a “glasses free” 3D monitor that Just Works™. As if every previous attempt at 3D was a proof-of-concept,
Just dropped a video of Assassin’s Creed Shadows running in 3D on the Odyssey 3D, Samsung’s new “glasses free” 3D display. This monitor looks absolutely nuts in 3D. Sadly, it’s just about impossible to photograph due to the way the 3D works, and the eye-tracking cameras. I did
One thing that’s been driving me crazy since the last “wave” of 3D died, is that lots of the associated content kinda got lost with it. This is what sorta happened with Blu-Ray 3D. While films continue to come to theaters in 3D, and get a disc release,
