Software raytracer is taking shape, but I think my target of "real time frame rate" might have been a bit of a tall order lol

I still have ideas of how to speed it up, but I guess we'll see how much it achieves!

Bundle nodes in Blender look like an incredible life improver, but I feel like this could just be a new level of unhinged chaos for some people

I'm in burnout recovery, but still get the hankering to do things. So here's a software raytracer I've been working on at a leisurely pace.

It runs entirely on the CPU, light rays refract through the snow globe, and the island model inside came from fab.

Never publicly shown this before 😅

On the up side, The Boss got a great glow up in this remaster

Never been a better time for this. I switched a month ago, and it feels so good to just say fuck Microsoft and their genocide enabling bullshit

"Hey Lem, what are you installing on your new PC to stress test it?"

Uhhh I'm not

Using Eigen for linear algebra and I can't help but feel like it's yelling at me when I make a mistake lol

Here's a more direct video, notice the whole terrain vanishes in the occlusion buffer. Just the V shaped plane I use for terrain remains fixed and flat, because the vertex shader that shapes it isn't accounted for. My gas station isn't occluded by hills because of this.

Is "eliminate the stressor" an invitation to commit crime?

Really smacks of "feeling overloaded? Add self care to your todo list!"

LOD-ing heightmap terrain in Godot, a day well spent :D It's replacing a 3D mesh I made in Blender, and unsurprisingly... It's already waaaay more efficient. Also a nice excuse to get triplanar texturing in, even though I don't need it for this.
