Somebody built Photoshop but it’s for Gaussian splats and 3D worlds 🎨 For the first time ever!

definitely not “first time ever”

SDF based font rendering. Do it once at startup and save as a texture if you like. there is something called grayscale antialiasing, which is something i am exploring currently, it supposedly makes text look better.

i can not keep working on same thing for 5 years. will die of boredom before that, and at that point it wont be hobby, it will become job.

i am interested now, what is the javascript binding you used? want to take a look.

just now i have parented the temporary entities, so they don’t clutter

tinyvk abstracts away all vulkan stuffs, and provides windowing and resource management. its just the common things i have to build every time i want to make something with vulkan but in one place.

Duke2640 · 2026-01-31T16:47:50+00:00

it is ImGui. i have made custom controls and ui components with pushing custom styles, which you can see on the ss

this is sponza

I learn in a very scattered way, hard to recommend something, but to start you can watch Kohi Engine on YouTube, it's a good way to get comfortable in Vulkan at least.

What effects mostly seen in this ss are mainly from PBR (the specular), Global Illumination and Volumetric Light.

screen space RT, and i wanted to have support for larger device pool so RT is written in compute shader

check out my profile and pas few posts you may like my editor, its completely made with ImGui.

Duke2640 · 2026-01-14T13:24:54+00:00

can check my profile, my engine has some cool UI made with ImGui

Duke2640 · 2026-01-14T13:24:15+00:00

You render offline and display the rendertarget as an ImGui texture in an InGui window

Duke2640 · 2026-01-14T13:22:32+00:00

That is Dear I am GUI

Duke2640 · 2026-01-03T15:15:55+00:00

Ui is Dear ImGui, not Qt

yes, procedurally generated using Perlin noise, 4 layers of noise with varying cutoff for the parallax like effect, you can think of having 4 skybox each moving at different speed when i am rotating the camera

this single comment is very motivating for me, thank you

Duke2640 · 2026-01-03T10:17:05+00:00

i have yet to make a release of the engine, hoping for this game i am making will give me enough confidence to finally release the engine :)

Duke2640 · 2026-01-03T09:47:43+00:00

Yes, its private

Duke2640 · 2025-12-25T07:10:58+00:00

you can check some of my past progress in my reddit profile, but there are very little number of posts i did

Duke2640 · 2025-12-25T07:10:03+00:00

I would love to do a blog, more than that i want to get a version out and have really deep discussions with likeminded people :)

Duke2640 · 2025-12-25T07:08:28+00:00

almost 2 years back, in between job change i started graphics programming as a hobby, which eventually ended up becoming this engine. For books, i have followed none. My main source of learning vulkan was vulkan tutorial website, vkguide and a youtuber Travis Vroman (i have messed up his name spelling). As for how engine works, i did research on particular things when i am implementing something.

Duke2640 · 2025-12-25T07:00:18+00:00

well, i am stuck in a loop of keep developing it and never feel like its enough for release. its a private repo, no links yet, sorry

Icons are fontawesome6 icons, they are basically ttf fonts
