Recorded 3D point cloud recording of a woman in a photo booth

Recorded 3D point cloud recording of a woman in a photo booth with reduced point count and rendered as circles.

Recorded 3D point cloud recording of a woman in a photo booth rendered as cubes.

I have been working on a LiDAR point cloud capture / editor tool for some time now and finally feel happy enough with the visuals to share some progress.

All built with Metal3 and recorded, edited and rendered on a M4 iPad.

Getting Started with Metal 4 Another WWDC is in the books, and with it came a major update to many platform technologies, including Metal. Metal graduated to version number 4, and in this article, we’ll explore the core …

"Portal box into the Sponzas"

Add simple portals to a path tracer: on ray hit on a triangle marked as a portal, multiply the ray origin by the inverse transform matrix of the portal object & multiply by the transform matrix of the destination portal. Same for direction but clear the translation.

Please tell all your nerdy friends about my little programming game/toy about coding voxel objects with Lua in a fake retro OS with excessive social features 😅

I have been going through this book for the past 2 weeks and it’s fantastic. The indirect rendering chapters alone are well worth the price.

curious as to why not use storage buffers that IIRC support read write
