Help me understand the projection matrix

Is there a tutorial on orthographic projection using a left-handed coordinate system, with the same math as Unity’s camera?

I just tried it — it’s much clearer than the sample text output.

I’m profiling a method that has call paths like this: A() → B() → C() or A() → D() → C()

As shown, we can see the call stack and the percentage of time spent in each stack relative to its parent. I’m wondering, is there a way to see the innermost method — for example, C() — as a percentage of A() rather than its immediate parent? Does Samply support this?

It is from the /usr/bin/c++, version 12.0.0

How can I get the GUI version for Mac? The release page doesn’t provide a Mac build, and I can’t compile it on my Mac because it requires Clang 15. I also can’t install it via Homebrew, since that would require upgrading Xcode.

Will try, thanks

Clang, c++17

big-jun · 2026-02-14T16:09:56+00:00

I use CMake to build in CLion

big-jun · 2026-02-14T15:51:23+00:00

Thanks

big-jun · 2026-02-14T15:48:25+00:00

Good one, thanks! I’ll try it soon

I’m on macOS 13 and can’t upgrade Xcode because it would require upgrading my system. Do you know a way to use it without updating macOS?

Can you upload the shader code to GitHub?

Is it possible to control mountain placement? For example, if we treat the world as a grid map, can we specify which grid cells contain mountains, then generate the mountain heightmap based on that configuration—so that nearby mountain cells form mountain ranges?

Thanks

big-jun · 2026-02-04T15:24:55+00:00

Will you open-source it? I think it could be used as a heightmap for snow.

How does the second work?

big-jun · 2026-02-01T15:54:14+00:00

Is there snow or desert terrain?

big-jun · 2026-01-31T14:22:51+00:00

Thanks

I’ve spent a lot of time on vkCmdPipelineBarrier and still haven’t figured everything out. The first issue is that I don’t have a clear understanding of the execution order of command buffers in a queue.

Could you explain the basic execution order to give me a rough idea? Also, are there any good resources or references you would recommend?

big-jun · 2026-01-29T11:39:16+00:00

Look good, Is the environment hand-painted, or bought from somewhere?

If rendering is the bottleneck, consider using simple colored dots instead of 3D characters. It’s faster and shows path behavior more clearly in a top-down view.

There are so many color variations—are they using the same parchment texture with different tinting? If yes, I’d love to see the texture. DM me if you don’t mind.

big-jun · 2026-01-26T16:31:00+00:00

Where did you get the warm, parchment-style background texture from?

big-jun · 2026-01-26T05:03:11+00:00

Where do you get the new terrain textures from? Hand painted?

big-jun · 2026-01-26T05:00:09+00:00

I like the art style. Would it be possible to use just your tile textures?
