I can recommend OpenTK [0]. I've used it recently to create a 3D renderer, and I have not run into any issues. [0] https://opentk.net/

I personally avoid Visual Studio Code as much as possible due to the scroll latency, so I think it is noticeable as long as you know what to look for.

There was a production car planned called the Lightyear One [0], originating from a Dutch student team, but if I recall correctly it was quite difficult and expensive to manufacture. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li

I personally use Skia, in combination with a very thin platform layer. I do use C++ so that might still be a bit too low level, but after having set up everything, the Skia API is really nice for just drawing some text / other primitiv

That wasn't my intention. The intention was to share the joy of working on a single project for a long time, and holding myself accountable to keep working on this project instead of abandoning it.

Hi HN, I’m working on a 3D modeling app, and landed on a simple approach to implementing undo for a mesh graph data structure. I’d also love to be pointed to other techniques or approaches that might be better. Let me know if the part about

I think it’s a bug in getting a useful outcome, but it’s a feature in creating engagement with the post.

I have the same issue. For many of the questions my answer is "all of the above, but A in context A, B in context B, etc.". Many are also not mutually exclusive. Take this example: "When debugging I typically:" > Writ

I didn't know about Feather 3D, but it looks super aesthetically pleasing. I'll have to try it out. I tried uMake a while back, but found the 3D viewport navigation a bit hard to use, and would often find out I had been drawing on

That's a good way of looking at it! I'm definitely aiming to build a more focused app compared Blender, as I want to focus explicitly on modeling, e.g. BRep or NURBs. What kind of apps have you worked on?

I haven't used picocad, but I came across it once before. It looks adorable! I'll definitely check out its UX.

I'm currently in contact with the Blender team to see where I could contribute, but you're right that there is space for multiple projects. I think I'm going to focus more on CAD / architectural use cases, instead of att

I'm building my own polygon modeling app for iOS as a side-project [0], so I feel a bit conflicted. Getting fully featured Blender on the iPad will be amazing for things like Grease Pencil (drawing in 3D) or texture painting, but on th

I think this is indeed the advantage of this paper taking C++ as the language to compile to SPIR-V. Game engines and other large codebases with graphics logic are commonly written in C++, and only having to learn and write a single language

What is the main difference in shading languages vs. programming languages such as C++? Metal Shading Language for example uses a subset of C++, and HLSL and GLSL are C-like languages. In my view, it is nice to have an equivalent syntax and

Could you elaborate on why you think libraries are an anti-pattern? Is the alternative just one library or executable, with namespaces and directory structure being the source of truth for organization of a codebase?

For me, Docker Desktop is simply an easy way to launch the Docker daemon and inspect some created images and their corresponding logs. Other than that, the cli suffices.

Speaking as a person who can’t see themselves stop working, I think an important factor is how one derives meaning from their life. For some it might be living amazing experiences, and for others it can be in helping others (which could qua

At the company I currently work for we also use C++, and I am quite proficient in it. But the amount of times I have slowed myself down by simple lifetime issues makes me want to switch to a more memory safe language. Whether that is C++ wi

Although there are excellent alternatives to C++ such as Rust, C++ is still widely used as many open-source and commercial codebases are built with it. Adding features to a language that is still actively used does not seem like a bad thing

A little while back, I had a conversation with a colleague about sorting entries by "updated at" in the user interface, and to my surprise this was not added by the backend team. Many of these "we are going to need it"s

Unfortunately the price tag is too high for me, and since I'm based in the Netherlands, I did not manage to schedule a demo. However, what makes a good product is subjective and you're right that in many ways it is a good product.

This indicates to me that the Apple Vision and visionOS product line and OS are not canceled internally and that Apple is still committed to its future. While the Apple Vision Pro itself is not a good or successful product, progress in disp

My experience with writing shaders (such as for physically based rendering) is that the shading languages (MSL, GLSL, HLSL) are easy to switch between. The hard part is understanding the physics and understanding how GPUs work internally. M

There might also be some local government grants for innovation and culture that can cover a bit of costs.
