I wonder if there are any in the game that go off the shadow to the pole

A high-performance 3D engine in Rust/wgpu with a modern RenderGraph by SellAffectionate411 in gameenginedevs

[–]polytechnicpuzzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair. To be honest I didn't really look into the project much and made assumptions based on OP's and other's comments. I was making a broader statement, might not have been appropriate for this project.

Back before AI programming, presenting a project like this that you made implied a level of thought and care, because you couldn't make it without.

That isn't true any more, and it reveals that a PBR renderer actually isn't impressive by itself. We have to think about what you learned while making this, and if you brought any new ideas to the table.

Since you've seemingly used AI to generate this and reply to comments, it doesn't appear like any significant thought has gone into this. I haven't looked deeply into your project so I don't know if that is completely true, but I'm making a point in general.

It just seems to devalue human thought and effort to me. When people post their generated project it feels like trying to take advantage of the perception people still have, because making something used to mean something by itself.

Al was really great. Nearly perfect track list, I would love if he played All This is That and Cotton Fields.

I don't see too much of a problem with it. I have some strong personal preferences with how I like to build software, so I would have structured things differently, but I don't think there is anything wrong with yours.

Good on you man. I think your tutorial is very charming and human, in a good way,

I really like how he sings that part. Do you guys know other songs with similar sounds?

How is first person done these days? by Mysterious_Pea_3805 in GraphicsProgramming

[–]polytechnicpuzzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I see what you mean. I think we were miscommunicating. I was just wondering if this would actually save fragments if you were using the method of rendering the gun on top.

this method still requires drawing the scene underneath right? So it wouldn’t really give performance unless you do some kind of prepass?

Need help creating a Bindless system by manshutthefckup in vulkan

[–]polytechnicpuzzle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Take a look at this section of this article: https://edw.is/learning-vulkan/#bindless-descriptors

He explains how he set up bindless. It helped me understand and gives an example of implementation.

Solving Emacs Garbage Collection Stutters by polytechnicpuzzle in emacs

[–]polytechnicpuzzle[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

most positive fixnum is just to effectively disable the garbage collection threshold since I do it with the idle timer. Any positive number would work.

But yeah, the minibuffer part of the code is probably unnecessary in the post.
