Perhaps there will be drastically different stuff down the line, but the more I use AIs, the more I become convinced that the current crop will not replace us. The capabilities of the SotA LLMs seem to be saturating very quickly and they are becoming (very useful) tools rather than replacements.

Implemented real-time collision-detection in my engine using per-frame BVH calculation for animated meshes. The colliding objects have their BVH drawn in orange with the intersecting nodes highlighted in cyan. (Also some basic heightmaps and fog). Next step: actual physics! #gamedev #gameengine

Finally, glTF morph and skeletal animations implemented within the engine. And now a dynamic bounding volume hierarchy for both static and animated meshes being calculated in realtime. #gamedev #gameengine

Had a lot of trouble figuring out a weird bug where, if you declare a sampler2D texture-sampler uniform var in GLSL and there are no textures slotted in, the shader goes kaput even if the sampler itself is never used (gated by conditionals). And that was my main PBR shader for most meshes!

Got real-time bounding-volume hierarchy creation in place in my engine. The left mesh with the cans and drums has 300k triangles. #gamedev

Wrote a tiny python utility script to transcribe a Japanese audio stream (mic/stereo playback etc) to English using whisper and an LLM hosted on LM Studio running fully locally your system. Useful while watching shows or for meetings etc. Code here: github.com/charm137/STT...

Attending my first ever #SIGGRAPH this year. Also had the privilege of attending Advances in Real Time Rendering for the first time as well. Amazing talks on the rendering innards of idTech 8 (superfast RT GI), Unreal 5 (megalights) and Snowdrop (GI/RT)! ReSTIR galore!
