Hola again graphics peeps! 😊

I found myself with enough bits and pieces related to text rendering to warrant a write-up. So here it is! 😱

osor.io/text

Spiced up with direct vector rendering, sub-pixel anti-aliasing, run-time atlas packing, temporal accumulation, and more!

I hope you enjoy it! 🧡

Tried a few ways to resolve a visibility buffer as a nightly adventure a few days ago 😄

So far my favourite I could come up with is collecting lists of pixels per shader, internally sorted per draw, then a dispatch indirect per shader scalarizing on the draw index.

Plus it can have cute bugs! 🙃

Spent a wee bit implementing some 🫰 rich-ish 🫰 text with support for *bold* and _italic_ annotations plus some cheeky line wrapping.

Here's the beginning of a possible future post running through it 📄

Also "Look ma, no textures!" Just tracing them rays agaist them beziers ❤️

Added a small section to osor.io/OIT about a neat way to avoid self-occlusion when sampling transmittance 😊 It came up in conversation enough times that it's worth updating instead of waiting for a new post ❤️

Also, some peeps asked for a clip with less & slower spheres intersecting so here it is! 🙏

Graphics Programming Conference was incredible ❤️

So many notes to go through, ideas to investigate, people to talk to and games to play! 🔥

Thank you so much to the organizers and all the attendees, it was such a pleasure to meet you all 😊

Can we have Texels sponsor next year though? 🍻🙃

Spreading the love, a thread of effects I can't stop thinking about. Starting with this scene in Arcane S01E08, like naaaaaaaaah, every frame is 😘

Hola graphics people! ❤️

I've been meaning to do some write-ups that are hopefully useful, so this first one is about my approach to Order-Independent Transparency.

If anyone stumbles in here, I like to partake in some cheeky programming at home and I would like to share a bit more of it ❤️ More than *nothing at all* which is the amount right now 🙃

The intention is to do a bit more blogging soon too 🤞

Here's a old meshlet culling video for eye candy 😂

Happy to see more of the graphics community here 😊

Perhaps I should be posting a little bit more, and over the past few days I've been bitten by the text rendering bug again so... here's a video saying hi! 👋😄

⌨️🙌 Hall Effect on an Alice layout! 🙌⌨️

Seems like hall effect/magnetic keyboards have become all the rage but I was sad that there was no options I could find for my favourite layout. So... here we are making a PCB and writing some firmware 😄

🎮❄️Late Christmas project post!❄️🎮

A controller with hall-effect sensors, custom firmware, PCB and case. With a funky layout too 🙃

Been playing fighting games with this since and I've been really enjoying it! Here's some pics 🖼️
