@jakob yeah it's a bit confusing, isn't it. "you get a render pipeline, and you get a render pipeline" (same with physics, etc.)

So! I'm told there's a Unity build with raytracing (DXR) goodies, i.e. HD render pipeline with optional raytracing for various bits. Here on github: https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/Unity-Experimental-DXR

Well about time: DirectX specification -- DX always had a spec, just "mere mortals" could never read it. Thumbs up, Microsoft! https://microsoft.github.io/DirectX-Specs/

@ScreennameTaken file a bug please with details & repro

Whoa, looks like I've been in build system team for two years already. Time flies! Here's a blogpost, with some neat tools we've built. https://aras-p.info/blog/2019/03/08/Two-years-in-a-build-team/

You! Know that excellent "graphics programming weekly" that Jendrik Illner does every week (https://www.jendrikillner.com/tags/weekly/)? He has a Patreon for it, go throw money at it now! https://www.patreon.com/jendrikillner

@vos I don't know TBH. Probably not?

@davidsullins last time I shaved my beard off both the wife and the kids went “don’t ever do this again”

StyleGAN looks impressive. https://github.com/NVlabs/stylegan https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/

@funkeh yup, pretty much :)

Quick post on "infinite sky" shader for Unity http://aras-p.info/blog/2019/02/01/Infinite-sky-shader-for-Unity/

Intel's OpenImageDenoise, an open source denoising library (currently CPU based?) is out! https://openimagedenoise.github.io/

Kinda tempted to try it out on my toy path tracer :)

@booblito she used Krita to draw everything. I assembled it all in Unity, and then GarageBand for music and Audacity for sounds.

I made a small game with my 9yo kid during #GlobalGameJam2019. If you are a floor-cleaning robot, home means picking up trash to you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6uZx8npe6M https://aras-p.info/projRuumba.html

@jonathansty this might be useful http://lectem.github.io/msvc/reverse-engineering/build/2019/01/21/MSVC-hidden-flags.html

Oh look, turns out MSVC *does* have a flag that reports where the C++ compiler frontend spends time - "/d1reportTime". So I wrote about it! http://aras-p.info/blog/2019/01/21/Another-cool-MSVC-flag-d1reportTime/

@silverweed \o/

@silverweed but yes it probably eats up 50GB or so :shrug:

@silverweed hmm weird. For me it compiles in 20-30 minutes from scratch (on Mac&Windows)
