• The start of graphics programming: Omg I wanna make super cool shaders.

• The first turn: Here is my realtime pathtracer with denoiser and PBR shader support

• The second turn: Okay but what if I got this to render on a potatoe? Just gotta draw some texture mapped triangles using the CPU right?

• The conclusion: Epic! ... now... why did I do any of this again ? .... Oooohhhh yeah. I wanted some simple PSX shaders to add to my submission to the PSX Horror gamejam ....
I FORGOR 💀

A question for gamedevs on the fedi out there; when you make a 3d water shader with transparency, how do you output the underwater buffer after fading it out, etc.? I may use the poll result in a blog post about it.

Please excuse the potential hashtag spam. I'd like to get this to as many relevant people as possible.

Hey #graphicsdev people: I remember seeing some trick a while back of encoding a pair of (RGB, no alpha) colors in a single RGBA value, and I cannot seem to find it. Does that ring any bells for anyone?

It's not pretty, but if you disable IK and shadows, #PortalFoxesTD can run on a toaster now. #gamedev #graphicsdev

I added multisampling and mipmapping, and softened my shadows. The recording doesn't do it justice, but it's so smooth. #gamedev #graphicsdev

Any of you #graphicsdev folk out there have any good recommendations for a "write once, use anywhere" shader setup? I'd love something that I could drop into a build pipeline to have a single shader file that I could then build for (minimally) D3D11 and GL, although D3D12 and Vulkan would be nice to support as well.
