I’ve worked with a lot of different UI frameworks (both native and web) and ImGui is definitely my favourite It’s just so simple For example adding an input box for editing a float value is one line of code and the syncing is done by just p

I wonder since this runs at real time framerate if it would be possible for someone to composite a regular rasterized frame on top of something like this (with correct depth testing) to make a game For example a 3rd person game where the ch

There literally already is a simpler solution for non-technical people, it’s called Perforce and tons of game studios use it But I’m sure you’re smarter than the whole industry so you probably know better

I don’t think that’s correct, the abstract page of the original paper mentions NeRFs https://repo-sam.inria.fr/fungraph/3d-gaussian-splatting/

Can someone explain why there’s so much interest in these recently? How is it related to NeRFs? And how is it different/better than rendering triangles/voxels/SDF? Is it just ray-marching these 3D gaussian shapes? Why is a ga

I went through this and switched from web dev to being a graphics programmer at a game studio Personally I think LearnOpenGL is still the best tutorial series if you want to work on game rendering engines Just because it covers a ton of dif
