Working mostly on rendering technology for provis in Vulkan. Various open-source samples can be found at github.com/nvpro-samples my focus is tech for scenes with lots of geometry (GPU-driven pipelines)
NVIDIA DesignWorks Samples
NVIDIA DesignWorks Samples has 50 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.

Mesh shaders produce things per workgroup, not per thread. Key difference to geometry shader and why they are more GPU friendly. Some vendors have flexible writing of the outputs (think shared memory) across threads in workgroup, others want thread N to write output N.

Nice work. Mesh shaders are also quite sensitive to the vertex exports. Though both vertex and mesh shaders can benefit of using hw barycentrics and pull vertex data in fragment shader, in case one has mostly tiny triangles.

Outlines based on object ids, a background gradient and a subtle vertical gradient overlay on the objects.
Fun, but a distraction from making decisions how to proceed with this 🫠

Was curious about what NASA stuff the Internet Archive might have and came across this gorgeous bit of cassette/diskette futurism: wind tunnel software and hardware at the Lewis Research Centre.

The worm logo is so fitting for that kind of display. <3
A photo dated 1989 of two guys in comfy plaid check shirts at a pair of crt monitors (black frame with white casing), one pressing buttons on a slanted keyboard that has a bit of a retro feel even for 1989 while the other sports a headset and holding a black box. Vibrant and share schematics of a wind tunnel can be seen on one screen while a blue background with the red NASA worm logo is displayed on the other. credit Glenn Research Centre collection on IA.

in the spirit of sharing, my improvised (aka mess) shader: www.shadertoy.com/view/3fSyWG . only 'new' thing I tried was doing aa/bloom by using a cauchy distribution on the ray jitter, its a sharp but long tailed distribution. gives a pleasing analog glow, still all 1 pass, no rendertargets or blurs

I've got a new blog post for all of you fine folks! It runs through the additions to D3D12 since it was released, and finishes up with some of the things that have changed for me personally in my code.

(And yes it's really been 10 years 👴).

One of my favorite things about studying 2D hand drawn animation roughs is timing charts, which I think gives cool insight into the artist's intent. Well, TIL there's now a Blender plugin that lets you animate in 3D with 2D-style timing charts; how cool!
