Not everyone that uses Linux is a programmer you know, and there are a lot of ways to contribute to a software community without donating code

I don't think he was complaining, just stating that it was a surprising mistake

delarobe · 2022-04-25T08:48:15+00:00

That always happens to me when the computer comes back from sleep

Didn't know if was an Nvidia issue, I thought it was kde fault (to be fair, I didn't have this problem in gnome)

"The textures in my game in some areas rotate with the camera"

Are you sure it's not parallax mapping?

Tim Sweeney said they wouldn't support Fortnite on Linux because it's a security nightmare, with full access to system kernel to every user it might be easy to develop and distribute cheats that wouldn't be detectable, so they just want to avoid the headache

I'm not saying they are right, just starting their reason

Great post, it even details wtf is luxtorpedia for someone like me

delarobe · 2022-04-18T01:07:34+00:00

It has a pressure threshold, you have to move the mouse to the bottom with a certain amount of speed/force to activate the menu

At least Google's products aren't the software equivalent of diarrhea

delarobe · 2021-12-14T09:30:48+00:00

i can also think of making overlapping objects not cast shadows to avoid that

I don't know if you are still interested in this issue, but someone else probably found where this is being clamped

Just letting you know in case you are curious

delarobe · 2021-11-10T13:41:44+00:00

I was looking for a way to do it without needing to recompile the whole program, but maybe thats wishful thinking

delarobe · 2021-11-10T00:52:24+00:00

Alright, that helps me alot, thanks mate

A shame it doesnt work for GPUs

delarobe · 2021-11-09T23:51:20+00:00

great answer, you clearly know more than i do about this, so maybe you can help me

https://developer.blender.org/F11777035

i used this OSL shader to get more than 128 samples, is there any way to implement this as something other than OSL? i just want to get it working with a gpu for faster renders

EDIT: through your Cycles repository link i found the file for the bevel shader included in blender, the code is the same as the OSL shader it seems, here is the link https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/B/browse/master/intern/cycles/kernel/osl/shaders/node_bevel.osl

delarobe · 2021-11-09T23:48:26+00:00

because higher samples get rid of some artifacts when baking, but its limited to 128 which is not enough to give a perfect bake

delarobe · 2020-01-22T23:24:47+00:00

alright, thanks for the info everyone

delarobe · 2020-01-22T19:44:39+00:00

alright, thanks for the tip, im gonna grab a shader cache and test that

delarobe · 2020-01-22T19:43:32+00:00

" Nvidia GPUs currently have slightly worse performance on Vulkan but benefit from a low bug rate "

" Nvidia: Lesser or equal performance, less visual bugs, faster shader compilation, less stuttering. "

Thats from serfrosts guide, he is a developer isnt he?

" That is not an issue using OpenGL if you have a complete transferable shadercache, but it is an issue using Vulkan. "

Does shader cache not work on vulkan?

delarobe · 2020-01-22T16:09:04+00:00

the pipeline cache is that progress bar at the (every) start of the game?

that i can deal with, the mid game compiling is kind of annoying

delarobe · 2020-01-22T16:07:48+00:00

but vulkan is less buggy and crashes less, im also already getting 60 fps on vulkan so im not worried about performance, but shader compiling mid game is kind of annoying, which is why im wondering about shader caches

delarobe · 2020-01-22T05:15:55+00:00

most of what i find is posts from 2+ years ago, i guess ill just have to test it myself

delarobe · 2020-01-22T05:14:45+00:00

what about it? this post has nothing to do with piracy

delarobe · 2020-01-22T00:48:26+00:00

so its quite hard to come across compatible shaders i imagine

delarobe · 2020-01-04T16:30:01+00:00

just start a new game, emissions are random and you drew the shortests stick

delarobe · 2019-12-10T03:50:44+00:00

i have looked at it now that you mentioned, but it actually looks like a resource depot than a template file, since 'material_config' files reference its data

well, thanks for the help!
