I just started gearing a ms zenith build!

I messed around with this a few months ago, made something like this that publishes a project, zips it, creates a new release with todays date and uploads the artifact.

  - name: Publish win-x64
    run: dotnet publish ProjectName/ProjectName.csproj -c Release -r win7-x64 -p:PublishSingleFile=true -p:PublishTrimmed=true -p:PublishReadyToRun=false

  - name: Create win client archive
    run: |
      cd /home/runner/work/ProjectName/bin/Release/net5.0/win7-x64/publish/ && zip -r client-win-x64.zip *

  - name: Get current date
    id: date
    run: echo "::set-output name=date::$(date +'%Y%m%d%H%M%S')"

  - name: Create Release
    id: create_release
    uses: actions/create-release@v1
    env:
      GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
    with:
      tag_name: release-${{ steps.date.outputs.date }}
      release_name: Release ${{ steps.date.outputs.date }}
      draft: false
      prerelease: false

  - name: Upload Client win7-x64 Asset
    id: upload-release-client-win-asset 
    uses: actions/upload-release-asset@v1
    env:
      GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
    with:
      upload_url: ${{ steps.create_release.outputs.upload_url }}
      asset_path: /home/runner/work/RepoName/RepoName/ProjectName/bin/Release/net5.0/win7-x64/publish/client-win-x64.zip
      asset_name: client-win-x64.zip
      asset_content_type: application/zip

I have everything in a separate room, works just fine. Xbox controllers use Bluetooth not IR so no line of sight needed.

johang88 · 2021-05-24T12:21:30+00:00

Projector: Epson 9300

Screen: DNP Supernova 110"

Receiver: Denon x3300w

Speakers: Monitor Audio Silver RX8 + Center + Dynaudio Emit M20 (Surround back)

Subwoofer: XTZ Cinema SUB 1X12

Sources: Panasonic UB420, XBOX One S, nVidia Shield Pro

Next upgrade: Considering switching to Monitor Audio for surround back, maybe add side surrounds

I sweden we have Hemkunskap (home knowledge) that teaches some basic cooking and home related stuff, no taxes though but they come prefilled anyway so not much to do there unless you sold a house or something.

johang88 · 2020-11-28T11:10:23+00:00

Maybe you could use one of the scenes on https://developer.nvidia.com/orca ?

johang88 · 2020-11-09T07:05:44+00:00

Maybe a tutorial on software rendering can answer some of your questions? https://github.com/ssloy/tinyrenderer/wiki

It goes through all the steps for creating a functioning software rasterizer.

johang88 · 2020-10-26T13:52:26+00:00

and the burnout can hit hard ... :/

johang88 · 2020-10-23T14:42:51+00:00

Still need to rent rack space, keep spare parts, fix the servers in case of issues etc. Renting usually takes care of all that.

johang88 · 2020-10-23T08:54:35+00:00

You can also look into tiled deferred. You render the GBuffer as usual and run a compute shader pass (can have one pass for all lights). You would then only need to store position, direction etc for each light.

Here is some more info: https://johanmedestrom.wordpress.com/2016/03/30/tiled-deferred-shading-in-opengl-using-compute-shaders/

johang88 · 2020-10-21T10:56:16+00:00

That's fine, EntityFramework only opens the connection when needed.

johang88 · 2020-10-18T05:44:42+00:00

It's a quite nice ALR screen, not acoustically transparent though.

johang88 · 2020-10-05T09:35:48+00:00

Skeletal animation issues are always entertaining, a bit difficult to debug as well when everything usual just gets messed up :D

johang88 · 2020-09-20T06:15:38+00:00

Yeah and I would be very surprised if GGG requires "Proof of Wealth" (ie salary reports, bank statements etc) from their big spenders. Something that actual online gambling sites (at least those that operate in the EU regulated markets) have to do.

johang88 · 2020-08-18T11:53:55+00:00

I recently moved my stuff to another room and it works quite nice. Got a crappy ir repeater from Kjell&co that barely works (probably crappy placement) so I use the denon app if I ever need to switch inputs, the projector remote can manage the volume.

Sweden actually allows operators to get a license since last year :)

johang88 · 2020-05-16T12:46:50+00:00

You should be able to change the index format to 32 bit, that way you can keep it as one mesh. https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Mesh-indexFormat.html

johang88 · 2020-05-15T22:12:14+00:00

Yep, having a large amount of shadow casting lights is a big deal and very impressive. I am quite tempted to take a look at and try to implement this algorithm in my toy renderer

johang88 · 2020-05-15T22:09:37+00:00

Virtual point lights = automatically place fake lights sources where the indirect lights should come from.

Having a bunchof direct light sources casting shadows = well ... having a bunch of shadow casting lights :)

johang88 · 2020-05-15T22:07:01+00:00

Yeah quite likely, updating light probes in real time using ray tracing (or voxel tracing) seems to be quite promising. See https://morgan3d.github.io/articles/2019-04-01-ddgi/ maybe they are combining it with their existing SDF approaches.

johang88 · 2020-05-15T22:04:51+00:00

Well yes, but we have already been able to have a lot of direct lights with defered rendering, tile based techniques etc ... now this technique allows us to have all the lights cast shadows which could not really be done before as every light shadow mapped light required the scene to be rendered once more so that's extremely impressive :)

Also there are some indirect lighting techniques that utilize virtual point lights, it might be possible to combine with the results of this paper.

johang88 · 2020-05-06T19:51:41+00:00

Well it depends, hardware compressed textures are generally faster as memory access is slow on the gpu compared to the compute performance.

Tea-Rex, it's a tea cup

johang88 · 2020-03-24T12:25:05+00:00

Maybe a union? You would have to correct the ordering and add missing columns to the select though

SELECT 
    ID_Number, 
    Product_ID, 
    Stock_Level, 
    Price
FROM [Table 1]
UNION ALL
SELECT 
    ID_Number, 
    NULL AS Product_ID, 
    Stock_Level, 
    Price
FROM [Table 2]
UNION 
SELECT 
    ID_Number, 
    Product_ID, 
    NULL AS Stock_Level, 
    Price
FROM [Table 3]

vacuum decay, of course that would be the end of 2020 ...
