Vulkan has published a new sample demonstrating Shader Execution Reordering (SER) for ray tracing.
SER separates ray traversal from shader invocation, letting the GPU reorder threads for better coherency before execution. The sample includes an interactive on/off toggle across three divergent material types, with real-world gains ranging from 11-24% in path tracing to 40-50% in high-divergence scenarios.

The Vulkan SC SDK is now available -- one installer, all the tools you need for safety-critical graphics development on Linux and Windows. Less setup friction, more time building.

💡 A nice bonus of the latest Blender 5.1.1 sub minor version update is that it now supports Vulkan on my ThinkPad laptop with integrated Intel UHD 620 graphics... and maybe yours too ✌😄
FYI - The latest Intel Graphics Driver for the 8th Gen chipset in my laptop was released back in Dec 2025 - 31.0.101.2140 with Vulkan 1.3.215 support.

The Khronos 3D Formats Working Group has launched an Education, Insights, and Outreach (EIO) Subgroup to help developers and creators get the most from #glTF and #KTX — closing the gap between specification and real-world practice.
The Subgroup's first public webinar takes place tomorrow, April 7: Gaussian Splats: Use Cases & Next Steps for glTF Standardization.

Anyone understand what governs when a new #VulkanSDK release is packaged by #LunarG? From the outside it seems more or less random.
Latest SDK: 1.4.328.1
Latest tagged headers: 1.4.333There's been five tagged versions of the headers since the last SDK release.
You can watch the cadence here: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Headers/tags
Is this process documented somewhere?

Does anyone know if UE5's support for gltf's KHR_mesh_quantization will result in smaller vertices at runtime or is it just import support?
-
I don't believe it will to lead to anything.
but
I am going to submit a 'New Initiative Proposal' to the Khronos group.
(Once I polish the wording a bit more.)

Yeah. I have a question.
Why is my data format a programming language now?
Maybe the real scientific, technological progress is the friends we make meme'ing about things like this.

For the record, this is one idiot techbro *assumption* without a shred of research.
It’s a false assumption, for anyone who actually reads research or does their homework.
Shame on Khronos for propagating random techbro opinion, but we should expect nothing less.

I released version 0.2.0 of my extensible 3d file format called STF.
It features a more streamlined import process, everything uses the same coordinate system as glTF 2.0, buffers can be longer than 32^2 bytes, and some bugs people reported were fixed.
Find the GitHub repo here:
https://github.com/emperorofmars/stf-unityIf you are curious, I made a 10-minute-long presentation video about STF:

I will not join Siggraph this year.
But ... some of my work will.
Blender is a major open source software to create glTF assets, using Blender-glTF-IO addon, shipped with Blender.I maintain & develop it.

#Introduction / #NewHere: My wandering career has led me to Google, where I own #modelviewer, your #opensource #web library to put #3D on your page with just a line of HTML, in photorealistic #PBR.
I also work standards on #glTF with #Khronos, and long ago with #3MF.
My side project is #Manifold, an open source #geometry kernel which I believe is the first to guarantee manifold mesh output. Test it out at https://manifoldcad.org/

In slight need of spec/language lawyers: Reading this line ( https://registry.khronos.org/OpenCL/specs/3.0-unified/html/OpenCL_API.html#CL_DEVICE_MAX_MEM_ALLOC_SIZE), do you think:
A: that the minimum allocation of the max mem allocation flag is 1:4?
B: that the max allocation must be max(min(1024 × 1024 × 1024, 1/4th of CL_DEVICE_GLOBAL_MEM_SIZE), 32 × 1024 × 1024)in other words, given a 16GB card, should the maximum allocation be 4GB, or should the minimum of the max allocation be 4GB?

libglslang.soDon't expect pc files associated. Some are even just mandatory stub libs.
Libs detection is overall a nightmare.

Learn how to create a 3D model from scratch, UV wrap it, and export it.
This goes a bit further than the donut tutorial and forces you to create a new structure, texture, unique map and actually put it in a usable format - which can be tricky. #Blender has support for GLTF, which everyone should be using, given its universal compatibility and direct support by #Khronos Group.
Basic tutorials are all over, but few touch on everything. Try this:
