Maybe my impl sucks then but I have issues on my macbook with high DPI. Not sure if I'm supposed to handle DPI in my code but yeah font looks like ass on my high DPI macbook

I'm ngl, I 100% claude'd the editor part because I'm not huge on writing UI code XD

The nodes look hella ugly but it's a WIP

But yes I'm making a render graph editor to follow on Alan Wolfe's "render graph as a data asset" idea which I think is brilliant. Base logic works, need to work on UI/UX and serialization

The fact ImGui has issues with high DPI lowkey makes me crazy but at least I'm working on something nice

This is absolutely fire advice, tysm!

(I am so nervous)

Guys, I have a graphics prog job interview on thursday, give me your best job interview tips

The improved SSR in godot 4.6

My new blog post is out! In this new post I go into detail in how I implemented my D3D12/Vulkan/Metal RHI in my game engine Kaleidoscope. Link in replies!

Decided I'd merge my renderer into my engine since they were branched

But before hand I decided to do some editor stuff, and I am additionally working on a Gigi like "render graph as a data asset" system...

Will keep you guys updated

After quite a bit of work, I am finally done with the first blog post about ocean rendering! You can find it here: rtryan98.github.io/2025/10/04/o...

I've also decided to create a video to showcase the ocean simulation in motion: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OXm...

For the people who are interested, I made a discord server for my game engine!

If you wanna come chat, roast my code or just talk programming and showcase your own stuff, feel free to join

Will be doing RT pipeline and MDI, expect a blog post when it's complete o7

Renderer is now fully functional on Mac + Metal!

Yep, all of them are passing except RT pipeline and device generated commands (unimplemented for now!)

Still early stage some stuff is broken but dw about ittttt

Also yes I’m porting my engine to Mac and Metal3

In Vulkan I can fetch it via SPIRV intrinsic, with D3D12 I can get it via updated root constant at a reserved binding, but I'm not sure how to handle it with Metal since I don't have access to specific bindings in the shader (everything has to be bindless).

Metal devs -- has anyone achieved ExecuteIndirect emulation with Metal Shader Converter? I know I can write an MSL kernel to go from indirect commands -> Metal ICB, but for MDI I'm mostly curious how I fetch DrawID in HLSL.

We don’t know if Physint is UE we can keep praying

Was it in Finnish though 👀

Been playing some Ghost of Tsushima and HOLY FUCK

I was already trusted by Quantic Dream & Ubisoft to work on performance tasks on console platforms as an intern, and have been able to work in AAA codebases throughout my career.

Throughout my career I've gained experience on various topics like graphics programming with Vulkan, DX12 and all major console APIs. I am also knowledgeable on rendering techniques and raytracing, and overall comfortable working with consoles.

Just announcing that I am open for contracting for the following year!

Looking for a graphics/engine programmer to help you out on your project? Feel free to reach out.

My expertise is primarily in graphics programming as well as console platforms.

Welp, just finished my last day at Ubisoft

They are conceptually different APIs due to the fact they target different platforms

D3D12 was meant for desktop
Vulkan was meant for mobile

Now that people are Vulkaning on PC they're adding stuff to make it more bearable
