I spent far too much time debugging my renderer where I passed in vert indices (uint32_t) instead of verts (float3) to a function computing barycentric coordinates. slang casting is wild! (uint32_t -> float -> float3?) I didn't get much else done. Anyway, here's a picture of my dog

Playing with some meshlet culling over the weekend. No LODs or occlusion or anything fancy, just frustum bounds & cone culling. I'm not using mesh shaders yet, just faking it with a compute shader + DrawIndirectCount. The scene is on the gpu with some compute shaders to apply deltas. Kinda fun!
