Branched off my engine, focusing on taking another attempt at making my dream game
Working hard and hopefully I can have a player controller scripted in AngelScript with some collisions and whatnot

Helping a friend out to make their D3D11/Metal RHI and I'm gonna have to play around with spirv-cross for the first time to get HLSL -> MSL with no bindless

Decided I'd merge my renderer into my engine since they were branched
But before hand I decided to do some editor stuff, and I am additionally working on a Gigi like "render graph as a data asset" system...
Will keep you guys updated

Hey BlueSky! I wrote my first ever blog post in a while, talking about how I built my RHI for my game engine Kaleidoscope. Link is ⬇️

Test wise, I added one for block compression and opaque instances for TLASes. When I have indirect commands implemented I'll also write tests for that.

I also re-added my initial pathtracing code though right now it basically doesn't do anything. No specular lobe, no light sampling, no skybox... need to work on that as well

Main issue with CSM right now (outside of the fact that my impl looks like ass) is that it doesn't really work on Vulkan, so I need to fix that too

Little update on my renderer Seraph. 🧵
I got tiled light culling implemented, so now I'm focusing on shadow techniques. I reimplemented my CSM code and hard RT shadows code, will be experimenting with raytraced soft shadows now.

Playing Death Stranding 2, and aside from the fact it's the best looking game I've ever seen, the whole game has just been:
>oh this guy has a hand made of tar.
>"hi im tarman"
>oh this guy is a doll
>"hi im dollman"
>oh this girl dances in the rain
>"hi im rainy"

Took the time to redo my portfolio. Even added a few languages and made it so that I could write blog posts in the future :)

The test results are then written to a JSON file that I can then load and render in an HTML file. I went with this so I could easily get a pretty UI without too much trouble. Writing tests isn't my strong suite but I'm covering a few cases for now (ray query, simple compute, meshlet triangle)...
