I mean they are a bit. They are programs that fit pretty arbitrarily into other parts of the rendering pipeline. I recommend starting with Compute Shaders as those end up being just a big parallel map on your dispatch size. A lot less pipel

Ahh, I guess the emulator is not emulating the switch "API" but the GPU itself right? Because AFAIK, the Switch NVidia API is not avaliable anywhere publicly.

Also, nice paper. An initial read of it though suggests it's only capable of building a set of textures and blendshapes, which implies that the actual topology is still in the realm of "artists" We really have no idea how to

I think you are just assuming things. I think most likely this is exactly like a lot of existing generators, such as Daz3D, but with a lot more work put into them. Especially regarding the material model, hair, animation morphs and the like

Yeah, getting face-scans is cheap and easy. but cleaning them up for real-time rendering, skinning, and rigging as you mention is a huge pain. And then going from there to a generalized model is pretty crazy. I can imagine they might be usi

Since I don't see it mentioned, Embark uses a lot of Rust, and has started to create a community around Rust Games Development: https://www.embark.dev/ and their Discord: https://discord.com/invite&#x2F

I strongly doubt there are any GANs involved, they are rarely used in production entertainment, and a solution doesn't really exist for vector geometry afaik. Likely very few scans as well. Just lots and lots of artist hours.

It feels trying to get troubleshooting for Windows is like shouting into the void, so I, as well as I think many others, have long since just given up. I for instance bought "Assure Software Support" at $99 a year to try to get su

Agreed, I've never gotten it to work, or when I have, it very quickly failed, and disconnected thereafter.

I get the truth in that statement. But as a game programmer, I find it interesting the contrast that linear algebra is precisely what is commonly used.

I think an important continuation of this same thought however is that since complex systems can emerge out of simple rules. And since reasoning about the behavior of entire systems (emergent or otherwise) is an essential element of being a

I agree, and I like the concept of "navigability". But I'm not sure I agree that many of the listed frameworks like Rails, are simple in my experience. There is a lot of "magic" complexity, but they just go through

Honestly? Because they have a big legacy in CPU code, and because of mostly political reasons they haven't invested in making their GPU (Realtime preview) renderer production ready till very recently. There are some serious technical c

Hmm, I'm having trouble understanding what you mean. 120V is the standard household plug in North America. If you're in, say Europe, I don't imagine you'd see a house with 120V as IIRC, 220V is the standard, and you gene

Yes, losing the mirror doesn’t really improve optics, however removing the mirror and related mechanism does allow one to bring the lens closer to the focal plane, which in turn affects the size of the rest of the lens elements. And makes e

There may have been contract issues, but more likely the cost of an additional year of development vs getting holiday profit made a lot of the decision.

To be fair, I think the emergent "collective mind" is likely far stupider more instinctual than the minds of the individuals. (hence why considering incentive structures is important) That aside, I agree that yes, organizations sh

Can you give extra context? It's unclear to me how Zephyr relates other than being an operating system. It doesn't on initial look seem to be designed with the same goals as Fuchsia.

Sometimes your Stadia build is done by another company, or is using some obscure Stadia_VK extension, or your renderer is statically linked, so you'd have to do another build to switch to VK. Whatever it is, it's probably just eno

Ohh, Thanks! I had never heard about ARM's cache being tagged like that. Do you have any recommended reading?
