Saw that "The Witcher 4" UE5 tech demo with the voxel trees for fast rendering at a distance?
I figured... that should be easy to do in TinyBVH. :) So now TinyBVH can do voxel meshes. Attached video: CPU-only, switching between BVH and voxels.
Code in tiny_bvh_foliage.cpp: github.com/jbikker/tiny...

instead of being productive and finishing up my compute shader radiance cascades, I implemented 3D radiance cascades in blender geometry nodes

Throw back to over 2 years ago?!
At that time I was developing a real-time paint stroke post-processing package for Unity. I moved on because some of the tech + learning in that unlocked an even cooler rendering pipeline that I'm using in our current game.

I'm thrilled to share a new JCGT paper, "GPU Friendly Laplacian Texture Blending." It uses simple image processing and computational photography techniques to smoothly blend/layer textures and materials while preserving local contrast and texture details without ghosting or over-blurring. 1/3

Been working on a Vulkan renderer using C++ as a learning exercise during my free time. Current features:
- gltf-ktx & Slang support
- Cubemaps
- Framegraph - auto memory barriers
- Auto generated descriptor sets/pipelines & bindings
- Postprocessing
- shadow map
- Slang support
updates in 🧵 :)

Been working a lot on the pause screen lately.
Casual and more subtle animations are soooo hard!
Music and eye shaders by @ironfairy.bsky.social, model and animations by me!
(yes, there's a custom shader to animate the eyes! we might get into more details later...)

Waves done with several layered sprites with custom shaders, light uses Unity Light2D + normal maps, the rest is animated frame-by-frame.

More volumetric fog shenanigans ☁
Another cool thing that's possible in URP is sampling the baked Adaptive Probe Volumes (APV) info; this scene only has one directional light, the rest of the light comes from emissive objects baked into the APV ✨

Four years of Chesley designs!
The first few are pretty rough, and yes, he even began life with a brief stint as a Chihuahua.

When you're making an exploration game you *really* want to nail the locomotion anims as you see them A LOT.
Over the last few days I've been to polishing/revising them up for Mythwrecked. Here's the gentle jog...
