The chapel was the first visit for the Queen's procession as they ascended Hightown. They prayed for understanding and cooperation between the noble houses, especially during challenging times.

Improved consistency of quat→euler conversion for continuous editing in editor UI sliders:
Took a while and now uses a relatively robust Yaw-Pitch-Roll (YXZ) rotation order.
Still not perfect but good enough for now so I can tackle gizmo rotation next.

I finally switched to full quaternion based rotations for the entities in my engine
This step might seem trivial, but I was avoiding them for quite some time and kept using eulers angles
For now it only works in ui need to tackle the gizmo next!
Btw the new dagger came in handy as a testing object❤️

A software rendering renaissance would be an appropriate response to the mess that is the current graphics API landscape.
For lo-fi games performance would not be big of an issue as nowadays we have SIMD and lots of cores.

Finally fixed the shadow map situation - now the maps are only re-rendered if anything has actually changed inside their frustum or if the light source itself was updated.
Also I worked on scaling and rotating entities via gizmo handles. Still pretty basic, but it's slowly getting there.

"lofi" graphics idea:
render each character & object in right place at right size with wrong FOV/camera-distance for uncanny effect
render each character/object to separate offscreen buffer & blit back to introduce Z artifacts
snap character/object to camera-relative angles for fake sprite effect

I don't regret switching from GL to SDL_GPU.
It was quite a journey but seems to be the exact sweet spot between complexity and abstraction to deal with-
imo it's ideal for working solo on cross-platform projects while trying to stay relatively sane in that weird landscape of current graphics APIs

So far I was happy that I didn't need to use Xcode on macOS as I could achieve everything via cmake.
But as RenderDoc isn't supported here I was curious to check out Xcode's Metal Profiling tools for the first time today.
A lot to grasp but I really like the matrix vibes of the drawcall visualizer

Today I implemented triangle raycasting for mouse picking that takes the mesh entity's cull mode into account.
