Its been a month since i started using @gingerbill.org 's Odin language, so I feel compelled to finally write something about that
For context: I'm working on a little steamvr overlay tool in my free time. The goal is to learn more about steamvr and to write something lower level than i usually do

Light Volumes 2.0 will support baked 3D shadows for point and spot lights, and that's how it can be used!
Thanks to @pema99.bsky.social for implementing this feature!

Photons are shot from two point lights (a blue and a red one). They are recorded in a buffer, then added to the scene BVH as spheres and thin cylinders, with emission from the flux.

Photons are shot from the area light. The distribution is horrendous and needs a little work.

Photons are shot from the area light. The distribution is tweaked a bit but still bad.

Want to do a quick photon mapping test, but it's a slow start because I spent most of the time so far playing with the debug rays instead. It does immediately show that the basic GPU hash rand I used is no good.

What album or artist would you say profoundly reshaped the way YOU perceive music?

Area Light Volumes... Thanks to @pema99.bsky.social for implementing and contributing such an amazing feature to VRC Light Volumes! I can already imagine people using it as studio softboxes for photography!

good riddance

Slang can be made extremely close to GLSL/Shadertoy style of shaders by using a set of defines and typealiases, I've made a template in compute.toyts just for that compute.toys/view/1947
I also ported my most popular shadertoy using it:
compute.toys/view/1948

This is a fun story, thanks for sharing :) I'm gonna refrain from looking at the patent, as I do for all software patents.

I did notice a single line in the DX11.3 spec "D3D11.3 will allow approximations to this effect." but didn't see something similar for the GLES3.2 spec. Taking another look now, I realize there is a similar approximation blurb, it was just hiding on the next page, heh

Hmm.. I see what you mean. Here's the plot with your suggestion:

Interestingly, the GLES3.2 spec amends the relevant section to _very briefly_ mention elliptical footprint. Vulkan spec has a similar small paragraph. Seems to me like that would put Mesa in violation of both specs?

PowerVR PCX2

one of the curious things I try with different GPUs is r_colorMipLevels 1 in q3dm1 on Quake3

What did you have in mind? 🤔

Good suggestion, I just tried it out, pretty close to the hardware though still a bit off. They might be using some variant of this with some fudge/bias.

Here's Mesa is you are curious github.com/anholt/mesa/...

I did actually read the source code of several software renderers, including Mesa. I didn't find any that perform the elliptical transformation I describe, so they weren't very interesting to me.

Thanks, I've corrected it :)
