couple days late but, happy 1 month birthday block game! what a difference a month of development makes

a voxel scene at night, set in a terrain of hilly dirt topped with grass and dotted with ferns and purple wildflowers. the remains of a ruined stone structure is visible in the middle of a cluster of trees. light shines from the ruin, casting streaks of light out from where the walls have crumbled down to the ground, and lighting up the nearby trees and leaves. the title bar reads "BlockGame"

New blog post! In "Billions of triangles in minutes" we'll walk through hierarchical cluster level of detail generation of, well, billions of triangles in minutes. Reposts welcome!

a reminder that I'm still looking for work if anyone needs an engineer specialized in UI and 3D/graphics 👀

I did some pretty amazing (NDA) stuff at PlayStation, and my personal open source work is forward thinking too 🧠🔮✨

TinyBVH has been updated to 1.2.5 on main. New:
TLAS/BLAS construction and traversal, for single and double precision BVHs, and including a brand new GPU demo: See the attached real-time footage, captured at 1280x720 on an NVIDIA 2070 laptop GPU.

I figured it out! Godot compresses some geometries when importing Sponza, so some positions are packed into rgba16.

I am not sure whether Vulkan acceleration structure building supports that so, sorry, do not compress please.

Improving my #Godot GDScript #Vulkan raytracing demo, I finally managed to fix some validation errors and visualize normals properly. Some geometries are missing though. 🤔

A collage of different test scenes I used in my raytracer. Gotta admit I'm quite happy with it 🥰

The tinybvh sample wavefront path tracer now supports specular materials. :) Never stops being amazing, just look at those caustics on the floor that appeared out of nowhere. Path tracing is such a cool toy.

I'm late for ~7 months, but I've finally published my C++ & WebGPU raytracer on GitHub! I've tried to keep the code fairly commented and readable.

It works pretty well, but I've never managed to make refractions work with VNDF. Maybe another time :)

tinybvh has been updated to 1.1.1 on the main branch. This makes the new, simplified API the default. For basic use, nothing changes:

BVH bvh;
bvh.Build( myVerts, triCount );
bvh.Intersect( ray );

In our next Tiny Glade update we'll bump the light limit from 32 to 32k while keeping the cost more or less the same.

The small limit has been a cop out, as we didn't quite know how to render huge numbers of (screen-space) shadow-casting lights without severe performance degradation.
