RE @AMDGPU_ @maxliani: I don't work for NV, never did, and I actually agree that RTRT is not the best use of GPU power today for gaming in most cases. That said, I have nothing to learn on the subject, and you are still factually wrong. I do expect though that there will be just trolling and thus, bye! 2023-05-05 21:41:23 UTC

RE @SebAaltonen: But... the entire attraction of shadertoy is the fact that it is very constrained! 2023-05-05 20:18:14 UTC

Thought provoking! QT @I3DCONF: How is Neural Rendering impacting the way forward in rendering? Marco Salvi is telling us a bit about it #I3D2023 2023-05-05 18:16:33 UTC

RE @maxliani @AMDGPU_: One can question whether or not RTRT is a good use of power today, but indeed, it's funny that the entire reel they show (and I imagine some work was spent making the video) is all path traced movies. Gotta love "enthusiasts" over Reddit :) 2023-05-05 18:36:20 UTC

RE @iquilezles @abductee_org: Exactly. Hiding these things for a SYSTEMS language is a no go. Of course in other areas, sure, but for systems programming you have to use a small subset, I think by now it's an established fact. 2023-05-05 18:32:18 UTC

RE @ferristweetsnow: Experience fucks things up :) One trick that can be useful is to think that you're just prototyping, maybe even use some artificial constraints etc. That can get you going w/o the overthinking 2023-05-01 17:20:49 UTC

RT @bl00dberri: Hey there! You're looking for a job and you see opportunities but... they're too senior for you, it's at a AAA studio & you don't have AAA xp, or it's not exactly what your portfolio showcases. APPLY! What have you got to lose? Well if you don't try you're 100% guaranteed to. 2023-04-30 21:09:17 UTC

RE @Triang3l: Smartness is more or less equally distributed in all fields. And all fields have great teams and mediocre ones. Even people on the c++ committee are surely smart. It’s the design by committee itself that yields the results it yields. It’s unavoidable, it’s “maintenance mode”. 2023-04-30 20:13:08 UTC

RE @bmcnett @bgolus: It’s mediocre tech, not tradeoffs. Which in their cases is wise, both smaller studios, spend effort in the game, not in the tech powering it. Not all games can have the same polish, you have to make compromises and respawn’s ones so far have been good! 2023-04-30 19:52:28 UTC

RE @NOTimothyLottes @troy_s @DBriggs60: Local tonemapping etc doesn’t have (much) to do with color spaces. Albeit it does still have something to do with perception 2023-04-30 06:59:57 UTC

RE @troy_s @DBriggs60: Let’s go back to do shading in gamma then! Nothing has meaning in tristimulus, so let’s pick at random. Let’s use hsv! That is freeing…. 2023-04-30 04:04:22 UTC

RE @troy_s @DBriggs60: That is all true but not pragmatically useful many times. Eg u probably don’t want a color picker that changes based on the context… Also, it’s not that there aren’t more or less perceptually linear three channel models, there is good and bad… 2023-04-30 03:52:09 UTC
