Hello there! Have a look at the Imaginary, the latest film from studio ponoc, where I directed the 2d lighting and texturing (and also wrote the software to do it) www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQ9j...

Yes I admit it is a bit reductive, but it is what drove progress in general, the extracted patterns. I am biased for sure :)

Contemporary progress is tied to training data. It is possible to see a new paradigm in the future, who knows, but it's pure speculation at this point. I bet a genuine creative system will likely NOT be able to spit out a C compiler.

I mean, the thing has basically access to GCC's source code, GCC as an oracle, instructions and feedbacks, full test suite with continuous integration so it didn't "started to frequently break existing functionality each time it implemented a new feature"

For sure Claude's dataset was packed with open source C compilers code (yay GPL). Seems even hard for it not to overfit on such a thing. I dare to hope our profession is to solve things that were not done before

Oh waw, thanks a lot! I have some animation job to do in the following weeks, but then :D

One Hundred and One Dalmatians is a gorgeous film. After 65 years, its design is still fresh.

It looks close to a 68040 or so, wouldn’t be easier to use that for the existing assemblers, compilers, FPGA cores ?

I wrote a new CRT shader for #BlastEm, hopefully better than my old one. Simple and easy to modify. With scanlines, vignette and chromatic aberration. Perceived luminosity is good. Link gist.github.com/anael-seghez... (GPL code). What do you think @retrodev.com ?

…"Gen AI" is a bullshit engine, in the strict philosophical sense of the term.
All it *ever* does is statistically correlate what you ask it for and how you asked it with the words, phrases, connotations it's been trained on, using the weights and instructions in its programming.

I have now exhausted all my ideas for software rendering. If I compare the same scene with my different techniques (lower % is better) 256x64@1bit or 128x64@2bit (stretched to 256x128)>106% ; 256x128@1bit or 128x128@2bit (stretched to 256x128)>146% ; 256x128@2bit >164%

Yes, not sure yet if the speed boost is worth the artefacts. It's about as quick to render as the chunky version but only feels higher-res when the movements are slow. Not good for a racing game for sure.

I just realised that scrolling can be used to do temporal reprojection of interlaced lines to reduce the artefacts. Only in 2d space but still 😮!

Thanks, I'll try to test some game ideas. The core rasterizer is asm but everything else is c. I find it easier to inline.
