found a fascinating artifact from the 00s while looking into circle/sphere packing www.redneckpoolheater.com
it's actually really cool because here they have the additional constraint of having to be able to form a network of connected pipes, the tube runs are in pairs to have a return route

Couple pieces about this work -
about the sphere packing, using voxel "dart throwing" on the GPU:

about the reuse of the data structure from the sphere packing, reinterpreting it as a grid-based raytracing acceleration structure:

this is a little underrated cool indexbuffer optimization trick that i seen several times (this screenshot from Unreal, as it is a public reference, but i seen its alternative in custom engines multiple times).

I'm back from vacation (and food poisoning...), so my tree impostor adventures continue. Now precomputing & rendering tight octagonal impostor bounds (instead of full-bbox quad), which saves another ~0.7ms per frame in the scene with ~30k trees!

The demo I’ve been working on is finally online:
ludicon.com/sparkjs/gltf-demo/
It demonstrates the benefits of real-time texture compression in 3D web apps. It allows you to compare models using traditional KTX2 textures (UASTC and ETC1S) with the same assets compressed as AVIF + Spark.

Now here's the fanciest illustration of the L*a*b* color space I've ever seen😀 Not sure if it's actually helpful but I love how the outlines make it pop. Found it from the technical brief "Understanding CIE *L*a*b Colour Space" by Kydex Thermoplastics.

I'm pleased to announce OxCaml!
OxCaml is Jane Street's branch of OCaml. We've given it a new name and a snazzy logo, and done a bunch of work to make it easy for people to try.

Saw that "The Witcher 4" UE5 tech demo with the voxel trees for fast rendering at a distance?
I figured... that should be easy to do in TinyBVH. :) So now TinyBVH can do voxel meshes. Attached video: CPU-only, switching between BVH and voxels.

I've been making a special font for Radical Pie. It started out as a way to provide a handful of symbols that aren't in Unicode. As I grew annoyed by errors, inconsistent weights, and missing glyphs in existing fonts, I kept creating more glyphs for my own. It's up to 463 now!

Doing windows port of my things but not through msvc. Through clang instead.
In my build system I had a preliminary msvc support I completely nuked it and let the windows path work like linux. Just worked out of the box.
Same with my engine 95% just compiled out of the box.
Thanks ❤️ Clang ❤️
