We got Mesh Shaders to work on #wgpu!
https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/issues/7197#issuecomment-3668283192
Mesh pipelines are great for many things such as skinning, LODs, and procedural meshes.

Props to the engineer who is implementing #webgpu support for mesh shaders by himself including the DirectX, Vulkan, and Metal backends.
Currently at 20000+ added lines of code over 9 months if I counted correctly.

BTW (when) are you going to make the UI design palette/size chart that you're using publicly available? Or is there any info about how the dimensions are computed?

My takeaway from math lectures is that the didactic competence is antiproportional to their competence in mathematics. The more they know about mathematics, the more "obvious" steps they skip over when teaching and the more they prefer inner monologue over talking towards the audience. So far [β¦]
