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
I spent the last two days adding GPU compressed texture support to Degine, my custom OpenGL / WebGL 3D engine. I tried a few formats, but ended up going with ASTC, since it was the only one that appears to be supported on both desktop and web. While
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
I recently got myself a Leia Lume Pad 2, and I’ve had about a week to test it out. Let me just start by saying this is the most significant advance in consumer electronics in years. Probably since VR hit the consumer market. It’s a high-end 12″ Android
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
Spent the last few days getting gyro aiming working in Godot. While the PlayStation 4 controller is supported well by default, Godot does not have access to the gyroscope or accelerometer (these are only supported on mobile platforms). Luckily, I had already done a good amount of HID
I’ve just released my latest Godot Engine project, a plug-in which allows you to use a Space Mouse or Space Navigator from 3Dconnexion to control the viewport camera in the Godot editor. The 3Dconnexion devices are like an analog stick on steroids, and allow you to move position
I’m currently working on a plug-in for the Godot Engine that enables support for 3Dconnexion 6DOF controllers like the Space Navigator. If you are not aware, this is a little puck, sort of like a huge analog stick, except that it works on 6 degrees of freedom. Meaning
