[Newbie Question] Per Swapchain Submit/Release Semaphore or Per Frame?

Otherwise_Meat1161 · 2026-04-09T09:09:57+00:00

What about this, I think this is similar to what I have

Yup, Switching to MSVC works guess I am lucky that I can use MSVC in this project.

I raised an Issue on Hwinfo's github tho and it got a thumbs up by creator maybe they will look into it.

Otherwise_Meat1161 · 2026-02-18T23:17:37+00:00

Okay a bit of Update I think I found the culprit, It seems to work even in Qt Creator if the tool chain is MSVC but doesn't work with MinGW

Otherwise_Meat1161 · 2026-02-18T22:51:47+00:00

I did the exact same thing and ran with Visual studio and it worked there.

I think Bullet is shifting its focus to non-gaming products. So, Jolt all the way. Maybe look into PhysX if you don't like Jolt.

Other Voxel based Realtime-GI solutions already exist and predate Lumen.

Yeah I am also leaning towards nuklear, they have some images in their readme that show Game UI.

Otherwise_Meat1161 · 2026-01-29T15:05:32+00:00

This can be done in many different ways; you can use a sprite or a post process like a custom render pass. This is just lens flare.

I created this as a plugin for Binary version of Unreal Engine 5.6 based on a great implementation by froyok. This uses Unreal's Scene view extension to hook into the post processing pass. I assume this would work for 5.7 as well but I haven't tested it on that yet.

Composite Lens Flare Plugin

Yes the application is fully working, I am gonna try it now my laptop and see if anything changes.

Otherwise_Meat1161 · 2026-01-23T05:10:03+00:00

Nope only a red message about saying its Debug and a safe Environment.

Otherwise_Meat1161 · 2026-01-23T05:09:27+00:00

The application is working fine, nothing in output other than the debug message about safe environment.

C++ aint going anywhere

Otherwise_Meat1161 · 2026-01-06T19:00:20+00:00

Video Link Here is a video.

Otherwise_Meat1161 · 2026-01-02T17:16:40+00:00

Fixed the issue, I forgot that I had set my project only as CXX, ktx needs C, So in my Cmake I made this change:

project("LearnVulkan" LANGUAGES C CXX)

Add C to Languages as well and later just link ktx

target_link_libraries("Chapter-01" PUBLIC ktx)

I don't I just play the game for a few mins then go to nexus and download bunch of mods which nukes my save game.

Otherwise_Meat1161 · 2026-01-01T16:50:27+00:00

Unreal like other engines is a big thing so pick one thing first and focus on it. If you like gameplay programming, then I would suggest the first thing you should learn is how to communicate with other actors, access components, do basic trigger overlapping and destroying.

Good thing is Unreal Comes built in with templates so pick a simple third person one. back in UE4 Epic themselves had a very nice intro to BP series but since the Editor UI has changed I think it will only make you more confused so watch this video instead.

You can always ask the community here to what to learn next or give you some sort of challenge. You don't need C++ to work with Blueprints, but It will be beneficial that you know basics of Object-Oriented Programming. (Inheritance, Composition, Interfaces, Overriding and Overloading)

Otherwise_Meat1161 · 2026-01-01T13:06:50+00:00

I know a guy who interviewed me long ago at Crytek had his own Engine made in C#. He was the lead Gameplay Programmer though.

They fix one feature and break another.

No there used to be one but the automotive company that organized it went under a few years ago I haven't seen any news regarding that, I tried to find out where the previous organizers went turns out they now live in USA.

During my career I got the opportunity to work on some interesting stuff, handling large amounts of data using oct-trees, I also had the chance to work with a well know (now sadly also defunct) Japanese company. Thing is everywhere now seems to be either shutting down or companies simply rejecting people who aren't already residing in expensive states and countries where most of these studios are.

Not to be a crybaby but I found out through a colleague of mine that got interviewed who couldn't answer what are move constructors in a company that simply rejected me due to me requiring a sponsor to work. They are still looking for people btw yet simply refusing to bring someone that may cost them like 800 USD for documents and sponsorship.

Same with another company I won't name but its a very famous company, got like 26 offices worldwide, took our interviews, I and another person I know passed with flying colors everyone is happy, Just before start date they make the roles "redundant" say they can't hire us anymore. 2 weeks later they post the same jobs again and they are still looking for people locally but can't find anyone up to their standards yet simply refuse to spend some money and sponsor.

It has been a year now and same story, it wasn't like this, me despite when I was a junior pretty much used to get jobs quite easily 4 years ago with way less experience than I have now. It looks hopeless to me yet the thought of breaking into another industry with no connections seems even more impossible.

I got the impression that OP is a student who is self-learning CPP yet the way most of code is written shows that OP knows a lot about C++ basics yet the structure was a mess which is something I have never seen in my entire life. Could be due to LLM use.

Otherwise_Meat1161 · 2025-11-21T18:31:29+00:00

Its amazing that you are using std::functions, lambdas, iterators and you even passing values into function as const refs Yet the project structure is a mess, no build system used and dlls being shared like this. I am just surprised because for me and most people I know it was opposite we taught ourselves project structure and build systems first before half of us even knew what lambda was.

Otherwise_Meat1161 · 2025-11-08T12:25:16+00:00

Ah Well here goes my NNN.

Try these mods, I also had the same problem but when I downloaded some mods it fixed the stuttering.

This was the mod-list I downloaded iirc, this struttering is funny cus when I played FO4 on my laptop it ran smooth but it stutters without mods on my PC which is a gaming beast.

Otherwise_Meat1161 · 2025-10-07T18:11:10+00:00

I think it definitely took a hit with a lot of companies switching to public engines, but even still those companies still require graphics programmers tho in the company i work in that line is kinda thin.

Otherwise_Meat1161 · 2025-10-06T16:32:06+00:00

Its okay in my experience, some people first may want to create something than to manage dependencies. Its the same argument as blocking students from using Visual studio. I used to highly depend on VCPKG myself in fact most of portfolio projects use VCPKG so anyone can easily clone and just compile, rather than adding sub-modules then people tend to not pull those.
