    This part stood out. Afaik there is no NES with RGB output from the PPU. Those PPUs are only found in the PlayChoice-10 arcade hardware, and while they can be swapped into a NES, t…

    Do you have a preferred 3D (polygon) modelling/graphics tool where you feel like you don't need to keep up guides and forums? I've been hearing this complaint since Blender 2.48 tw…

    Deferred rendering requires a post process type antialiasing, can be TAA but also FXAA etc. It doesn't work with traditional MSAA. A lot of the UE tech is built around the assumpti…

    I mainly learned linear algebra via hands-on 3D graphics, and have a hard time thinking about a matrix as anything other than 4x4 and representing a linear transform... How much do…

    Maybe, but it could aöso be that they’re looking closeöy at the risks and negative externalities of the way things are currently being done in the US. I.e. bu and for the dispropor…
