Tracing rays at NVIDIA. Former lighting artist, working on computer graphics rendering tech for all humans and robots alike.
I mostly post stuff about light transport simulation, and my hobby project Workbench.

The Vulkan porting is complete 🎉 The last missing piece was the primordial raster renderer, which I am not sure why I keep around :)
All in all, it wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be.

Components selection and editing work again.

Components selection and editing work again.
Some progress: the grid, selection, wireframe, light gizmos, reverse Z-buffer, path-tracer/raster compositing and a few more bits. It's all coming back together.

Small progress today: my GUI library system is partially working. Textures and picking are still missing though.

Rainbow cubes are back!
It's likely most of you didn't know me when all my posts were rainbow cubes... As I am preparing to port Workbench to VK, I am back to basics.

It's hard to find time and energy to work on my project lately. I haven't written a single line of code for it in months...
But today I have upgraded my workstation from an old Intel 10th gen i9 to a Ryzen 9950X and how boy!..
If you thought Workbench opened quickly, wait until you see this:

I would never be able to make my mind for what the node graph should look like, and everyone has their rightful opinion of colors vs gradients. So, look controls FTW!! :D
