GP-Direct 2025: “From Scratch” 3D Engine Compilation

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 with how it came out, and everyone had really impressive work (massive upgrade from last year, as well). Enjoy.

My submission was recorded at 4K, but with FSR quality mode, so turned out a bit more blurry than I wanted. Still dealing with some bugs with the motion blur and anti-aliasing, so looking to get more crisp quality when I’m ready to release, the above shot taken without scaling. The showcase video captures the overall style I’m going for, but still need to focus on what I can release in a reasonable timeframe, and also find something that will be optimized for web and mobile, since that was a big motivation for the project. Hopefully get the design finalized ASAP to move forward. Stay tuned.
