(author of the article) 100% agree. As others have said, a good graphics programmer works with tech artists and artists. Frankly, graphics programming is largely a role of service …

If you sell your rsus when they vest its the same result

Yeah. Sampling bias is fixed with Cranley Patterson rotation. For real time rendering, blue noise is the thing to use though. At low sample counts you can't converge so you should …

This talks about that more deeply and is by the same author (me) :) https://blog.demofox.org/2020/07/26/irrational-numbers/

Here's the source. Nathan Reed references a jcgt paper, which references a paper form 2012. https://www.reedbeta.com/blog/hash-functions-for-gpu-renderi...

Game development tends to make code more in this style, half way between C and C++. The reasoning of this is primarily the need to avoid hidden costs in the STL, but to be honest i…

Fixed, woops.

Nice improvement!

Plus notice no mistakes were called out. It was just "don't buy parts from amazon".

Fixed this typo and i get what you mean how "one is not like the other" in the title.

Heya ladberg: * Were you doing direct light sampling (next event estimation)? If so that would explain it. It's the most naive path tracing you can imagine, so it's easier to under…

Demofox is a jerk!

See step 1 of the 3 step bulleted list, but yeah, it generalizes to 2 steps with a shared initialization value. Maybe worth noting that if your world has some known starting state …

I hear you. It's hard to know what a good benchmark would be. Do you have any ideas for what you'd like to see measured and possibly what it's compared against?

Gamma still exists! Check out this really nice article for more info "The rehabilitation of gamma" https://poynton.ca/PDFs/Rehabilitation_of_gamma.pdf

you are totally correct. u16 is more than enough (as is u12 apparently!). F16 is also sufficient. I'll update the text to point this out.

"hair cells in the ear" isn't how hearing works. That's how balance works :/

Are you trolling us? The ear drum is how you hear...

Does this source code help you much with that? It only deals with wave files but can read / write 8, 16, 24 or 32 bit wave files, at whatever sample rate, with however many channel…

By playing a sound faster I mean changing it's sample rate, without doing anything else.

I'm the author and didn't make this post on yc, but yes, the implementation is in 680 lines of standalone c++ The point of the article isn't about c++ or why it's a good language f…
