Here's an update on my small-voxel renderer, inspired by the look of games like Doom and Quake. The work I shared last year focused on handling simpler environment geometry. Since then, I've greatly expanded the scope of what I can depict in this art style. More info in thread.

Has anyone ever implemented "Projective Displacement Mapping for Ray Traced Editable Surfaces"?
If so, can I get some help? I cant solve these offsets between triangle boundaries for the life of me and I am totally stuck again(this is exactly what stopped me last time),any tips?

A significant amount of tech tuber "game dev" hot takes could be disproved (or, less frequently - proven) with a single pix or renderdoc capture.
Following some basic frame profiler guides could dramatically improve content in this space.
