These "how they render these graphics" breakdowns are always like meditation to me. Even tho I don't work in graphics programming there's this vibe in these posts that always puts me in a chill mood. Instead of skimming I'm actually reading and digesting every sentence.
Does anyone feel the same about these kinds of posts? Were you able to pinpoint what specific writing features they employ that might elicit such responses in us?
- 1_player 8y agoPersonally, I like the pretty pictures and as a (regular) software engineer, game engines are so far from my expertise that it's like reading about black magic. I'm completely in awe at the complexity, and multiple passes behind a simple game frame, which are rendered in under 16ms. Video games are the best showcase of the ludicrous speed and potential of modern computing, while we're complaining because our text editors are sluggish to render a few glyphs :-)
