That feeling when the superluminal trace is a green wall

Finally snapped: made a Vulkan layer that auto-labels objects with a stack trace at creation time. Now the validation layer can just tell me what I forgot to release on vkDestroyDevice :)

Well, it wound up taking nearly the rest of my holiday, but I finished adding multi-pass support to my image quality reference tool's ShaderToy input mode.

Debugging multi-pass support at the moment, exposed an option to write the HLSL to disk with spirv-cross. We normally go straight from SPIR-V to DXIL for the cross compilation but it can be helpful to look at the intermediate HLSL to sort out some issues.

Working on a D3D12 app for studying implementations of upscalers, AA, frame gen, presentation models, or anything else that can affect image clarity. Got a bit side tracked with adding a shadertoy input mode (GLSL -> SPIRV -> DXIL cross-compile chain). Will also add an OpenUSD viewer.

RIP Black Midi. Here is a pic I took of their show at Warsaw in 2019. Will check out his solo stuff!

I wish someone made me read this prologue before I tried implementing my first whitepaper 10 years ago. I feel like a lot of academics relish in the obfuscation of the very thing they’re trying to explain. (Or maybe it’s just a skill issue on my part!)
