Raytraced sun shadows using Metal intersector. Runs like shit because I have an M2 Mac Air which doesn't support hardware raytracing, hopefully I get to upgrade soon so I can get mesh shaders execute indirect and hardware RT...

First ReSTIR test using 16 reservoir proposal samples (right image) compared to uniform direction sampling and ignoring indirect light (left image) with many spread out lights (~3k light-emitting voxel faces here). Quite insane noise reduction going on in here!

Branched off my engine, focusing on taking another attempt at making my dream game
Working hard and hopefully I can have a player controller scripted in AngelScript with some collisions and whatnot

Turns out properly waiting on both device and host instead of just device can really save lives
Finally getting down to doing some multi-queue stuff, and so far... fuck man D3D12 docs on resource ownership is not helping me at all lmao

How does one even befriend an artist and convince them to help you make your game with your clunky custom engine art tools

Hot take, I think it's a bit of a shame we don't have API level mipmap generation. I mean Metal has it with MTLBlitEncoder::generateMipmapsForTexture, but it'd allow vendors to make use of their architecture-optimized single pass downsampler (also not sure NVIDIA has one)

Been doing some D3D11 work for nostalgia and to help a friend make their game and jeez, I'm missing modern graphics API copy commands, wtf do you mean I can't use CopyResourceRegion in D3D11?

Turns out I was wrong, I can still use Metal Shader Converter even for D3D11....... yes...... good.....
Helping a friend out to make their D3D11/Metal RHI and I'm gonna have to play around with spirv-cross for the first time to get HLSL -> MSL with no bindless

Decided I'd merge my renderer into my engine since they were branched
But before hand I decided to do some editor stuff, and I am additionally working on a Gigi like "render graph as a data asset" system...
Will keep you guys updated

After quite a bit of work, I am finally done with the first blog post about ocean rendering! You can find it here: rtryan98.github.io/2025/10/04/o...
I've also decided to create a video to showcase the ocean simulation in motion: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OXm...
