Back from #gpc2025. Great to have a graphics conference in the EU with high quality presentations. Especially loved the one about path tracing in Doom The Dark Ages and raytracing voxels in Teardown. Very entertaining!

I hate CMake so much that I created my own build system for my hobby projects. It's inspired by UBT, targets and modules are defined by small C# scripts. Easy to use, extensible, no bloat, and the best part: I know exactly what it does.
Took half a year to get it done but it was so worth it. 😌

Great blog post!
On a related note: If you attend GPC in Breda next week, I highly recommend our talk "Neural Shading for Real-Time Graphics" (www.graphicsprogrammingconference.nl/2025/#neural...)

I got to do an explainer of neural shading-- with my NVIDIA hat on this time, and still full of Slang goodness! It's posted over at the NVIDIA developer blog: developer.nvidia.com/blog/how-to-...

"VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_GENERAL can be used efficiently in nearly all cases. Aside from a few specific scenarios, such as image initialization or presentation, developers no longer need to use layout transitions at all, just use GENERAL!"

Thank god! 🙏
