If you check it out because you like (or partake in) open world game development, but you feel it's not for you, I'd love to hear your feedback! 😊

So when implemented a quad tree based terrain for Tides, I was inspired to do something similar with just box-entities in . The result is quite silly! But also kind of neat and mesmerizing. And clocks in at less than a hundred lines of code. #madewithdbb

It looks like one good night's sleep is all I needed to find the bug 🥳

I've been on a 3-day journey into parsing and uploading DDS textures to the GPU in #ziglang and #D3D12. Some of the mips are correct, some other are corrupted resulting in this beautiful #programmerart
Textures from @polyhaven of course!

As promised, I wrote a Blog post about Two-Pass Occlusion Culling.
I hope you will find it useful and if you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

But for now I'll go back to the code. I need to add multiple instances and some profiling instrumentation so I can test the impact of culling and LOD-ing. 6/6

And I haven't mentioned Wave Intrinsics yet😅The sample I've got the code from uses them extensively. There are some details here, but I feel like writing a more detailed explanation once I think I understand them. github.com/microsoft/Dire 5/N

So I had to rewrite those arrays as `uint4` arrays and do some clever (hacky!) casting to address them by LOD. I'm sure there are better solutions, but as I said before, I wish I was working with experienced graphics programmers and learn from them 4/N

I needed to store a different GPU Buffer handle per LOD and I thought that this would do. But those `uint`s are expanded to `uint4`s, so I was getting `0`s when addressing those array (expect for the very first one). 3/N

There are so many pitfalls with data alignment and packing rules that I feel one can only learn from more experienced graphics programmers. Reading HLSL docs was not enough, but luckily I was able to find answers online stackoverflow.com/questions/2427 2/N

I've got LOD selection on the GPU working. This was hands-down the most difficult thing I had to learn and implement. Mode details in the thread 🧵1/N

I'm adding LOD support to my Mesh Shading experiments. Next up is rendering a bunch of Suzannes and using a Task Shader to do LOD selection on the GPU :) twitter.com/gmodarelli/sta…

After 2 days of frantic coding, I've managed to add Mesh Shader support to @longbool's D3D12Lite.
I've basically ported the simplest sample from Microsoft's Graphics Samples.
Mesh Shaders and Bindless Resources are quite tough to debug for me though ...

I wouldn't have done it without debug layers and NVIDIA NSight. Naming buffers and inspecting them with user-defined structs is a time-saver! Now I can finally move onto the fun parts: culling, LOD-ing and instancing 🎉

So first thing at Gamescom, I ask if this is the table with fellow gaming CEOs and this guy starts ordering from me… he was so sure, it took me like two minutes to convince him I am not a waiter.I am trying not to be upset but why is our industry and society like this? 😔
