I've continued working on my little 3D engine based on wgpu and #rustlang. This week I managed to implement fully GPU driven rendering. The engine gives the GPU lists of drawables and meshes, and compute shaders perform AABB culling and generate indexed draw commands. 17K objects in about 0.03ms.

I'm working on a shader playground / 3D engine skeleton in #rustlang with winit, wgpu and naga_oil. About 1.5k LOC, has shader hot reload and very basic GLTF support. The DX is better than in my previous WebGL-based engine but the ecosystem is not yet very mature / stable.

Working on a lengthy article about Oblivion's controversial AI system, Radiant AI. I've been writing this for about two weeks now, and the word count is not too far from a relatively short master's thesis. Hoping to finish it in the coming days.

Trying and mostly failing to optimize frustum culling in a WebGL + TS + Rust engine
