the matrix was a documentary
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
Been researching real-time indirect lighting and global illumination techniques recently, and was most interested in simpler methods that did not require extensive pre-computation steps. Evaluating indirect light in screen space is an obvious choice here, since it can be fully dynamic, and the performance cost is essentially fixed
Quick update on Degine, my in-house OpenGL engine. Most of the shaders were finished a few months ago, though I’ve been working on various optimizations behind the scenes. Performance is quite stable, at least on high-end desktop, right now (watch the embedded video). Still needs some work on
Right here we have a pretty solid intro into OpenGL, from what appears to be the coursework of two university professors and their students. It is by no means “modern” techniques, but I feel like it gets the job done for a thorough first look at the API.
In the past week I’ve made some major breakthroughs with the performance on Degine, my custom OpenGL / WebGL 3D engine. Did a lot of reading on performance and optimization guides, like on the ARM and Nvidia websites, specifically for OpenGL ES3 performance on mobile. Also integrated a
This is the second book in a series by Hans de Ruiter on getting started with OpenGL ES3. I recommend reading them in order, Modern Graphics Programming Primer is a better place to start. Getting Started with OpenGL ES 3+ Programming is a quite simple text, but that’s
This is one of those short, no-nonsense, types of books that actually has a treasure trove on info hidden inside. It’s not very long, and can be read in one or two sittings. And there is not really all that much code either, aside from a few cookbook
Recently I got interested in exploring red/cyan anaglyph 3D again. Most people write off anaglyph, but it’s still the cheapest and most compatible solution for stereoscopic 3D, even today. Glasses can get had for a few dollars, and literally any display device works (even printed on paper). In
This book is pure gold for a graphics or engine programmer. Sergey Kosarevsky is able to walk you through many intermediate to advanced techniques, in both OpenGL and Vulkan, and shows you how to make a real 3D engine. The fact that each chapter is shown in both
So I finally got my Valve Steam Deck today, and the first thing I had to try was Decay. This is my cyberpunk real time music video, which I made in the Godot Engine. I’m happy to report that it runs perfectly at default Quality settings, 1280×800, with
