The tricky thing about making a mesh editor is the discrepancy between how the artist and the GPU think about vertices.
For example an artist sees a cube with 8 verts. But if that cube is flat shaded the GPU actually sees 24.

I thought making a mesh editor would be easy.
Turns out it's this interwoven web of operations, input state, and undo/redo. Not to mention any of the math / geometry.
The one bright side is that I have a really solid north star in the form of Blender.
Think I may write a blog or something about it

I often get asked about my book recommendations for graphics programming and game development. I updated my old list and made it easier to find on my website. With Black Friday/Cyber Monday, many are on sale right now (at least in Canada/US)

Made a screen-space reflections demo
Used lettier.github.io/3d-game-shad... for reference but deviated a little bit in favor of something a little simpler.

Wrapping up the path tracer project.
I enjoyed seeing the shadows and color bleeding, but when it came time to implementing actual material models (brdf, pdf), things got a little too mathematical for me... Will have to revisit another day.

New prototype: rain-maker
Use rain-power to moisten soil so plants can grow. Recharge by flying near bodies of water.

Working on tree generators currently. Finally bringing things into 3D.
