Any environment artists available to do some freelance work for @veelpoot.com? Need some fantasy buildings made for our upcoming Skyrim mod!

Paid opportunity, of course!

Kenney, even at Lidl he's working for free

Or the shader is outputting wrong motion vectors!

Ok that sounds like tagged unions

PIX is also great for debugging (and does support raytracing), but I guess you'd have to change your name to DX12 tamer 😂

Tbh the "NSight crashed because I looked at it wrong" is a common feeling

And to have an array, the objects need to be the same type/size, because getting element i is essentially getter a pointer to the address of array start + i * sizeof(type)

I don't know if it's an array of pointers in both cases (I'm not totally sure what is called fat struct here 🙂 I guess it depends how they're used in practice). Having an array is indeed about making the memory contiguous so that the next object is already in the cache when you iterate

Whichever is the least bad depends on how fat the struct is, at some point it stops mattering

If you have an interface, that means you don't know the actual layout of the objects/structs, and that generally means each object is allocated separately. If you have an array, it's an array of pointers (and so it's the worst case, one cache miss per object). Fat structs can be in arrays at least

Looks like I'm looking for a job :-/
Anyone looking for a senior dev?

YouTube video by Zenteon SSAO, "Close Enough" since 2007 | A Brief History

Nice li'l new video covering (some of) the history of SSAO algorithms:

On the other hand we sometimes say "go get your ass cooked", which is less classy 🤔

Counter example: the French say go cook an egg rather than suck an egg. Consuming cooked eggs is definitely classier 😛

Oh we had that as well. There was booze, but the children couldn't have any 👎

A whitewashed pub wall, with mortar standing proud of the stones.

When I found a pub with an inverted normal map. (If you understand what this means, you have to repost.)

That's mostly a code style question, so there's no wrong answer.

Personally I'm on the team of communicating intent with comments 😁 (or in the case where it needs to be a pow2 probably the comment of a static_assert)

I think the fact that no one knows exactly the number for 2^31 is still making the point. Something like 2 * GiB, or GiB(2), or even 2_GiB with C++ user defined literals, is unambiguous to everyone

Thank you!

Thanks Alex!

Tack!

Pretend there's a second maintainer called Ramo Tunroc and he's much less patient 😁

Thanks!

Thanks Alan!

Thank you!
