Yay autodesk fixed the commandPort in 2025 (been busted for a while in our lab build), just got @zed.dev editor to send python to maya via a task (and some python scripts) as well. Next step to get python hints etc working. Think I will move all teaching to Zed next year.

Billboarding working with circle or square billboards set via unifroms. #webgpu #python #ncca #graphicsprogramming

This took way longer than I thought, converted one of my Lab C++ Particle Systems to #WebGPU, need work. #GraphicsProgramming #NCCA #Python

Web GPU rendering to the terminal using ASCII escape code, because you can :-) #WebGPU #GraphicsProgramming #Python #NCCA #wgpu-py

Been Busy marking, but managed to do some more of my WebGPU demo. Re-factor the Qt Widget, Text Rendering and sorted the lights a bit. #WebGPU #GraphicsProgramming #Python #NCCA

Replicating some of the functionality I have in my C++ NGL library in #WebGPU and #Python Need to take a step back and make some big design decisions on how to make a flexible library for students to use easily. This is very ad-hoc at present. #GraphicsProgramming

Re implemented most of the primitives from my ngl library (c++) into python. Seems to work ok, need to add a few more procedural ones and convert Tri stips to Triangles. #WebGPU #Python #GraphicsProgramm

A productive day, got a decent line + colour shader pipeline developed (will turn it into a class soon), mouse controls for Qt interacting with the uniforms. First primitive in my primitives class developed. #WebGPU #Python #GraphicsProgramming

More WebGL progress, not using the Provided Qt Canvas but my own. Can update buffers and render directly to a QWidget. Just need to improve the synch code now. Think I'm going to port a load of my C++ code to python first so I can test other things such a better geo etc.
