Auto hotreload now with filewatch!

Little quality of life improvement. Pudu renderer now fallback to this 16x16 Pudu pixel art when there's a shader error instead of crashing miserably as it used to #vulkan #shader #indiedev #gamedev #shaders #pudu

Shaders hot-reload + little lighting debug functions using slang compiler api #shaders #vulkan #gamedev #indiedev

Little milestone. I added input support! #indiedev #gamedev #shaders #vulkan

Got an IBL implementation working. All luts are generated and cached during launch. There are many optimizations to do but wanted to get it working first.

Playing a bit with SSR. I'll need to do some tonemap for the hdr sky #indiedev #gamedev #vulkan

Test diorama is taking shape. Did a simple point cloud importer for the grass buffer #vulkan #gamedev #indiedev

Sneak peek of a lil diorama I'm doing to stress test Pudu renderer workflow #shaders #gamedev #graphics #vulkan

Ended up managing shared descriptor sets by fetching and injecting them into shaders at compile time using the slang compilation API.

Some tests of indirect drawing for generating and render the grass. Shadow map is gone because the grass descriptor is not using it. I still need to figure out a clean way of define and set "global" descriptor sets

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 🧵 :)

Hi! I'm José, Tech Artist :D I'll start posting here some side projects from time to time ✨
