Oy! The demo team has shipped final 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜 demo version. See it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQZobAhgayA and more details at https://unity3d.com/the-heretic #unity3d

@shivoa I’m not sure if anything besides VS can be used to capture/debug UWP apps. Does nsight say it should support them?

Looks like I've been 14 years at Unity by now. So instead of doing something useful, I wrote one of them "here's a look at the past" blog posts :) https://aras-p.info/blog/2020/01/04/Fourteen-years-at-Unity-o_O/

Looks like I managed to remove 747 thousand lines of code in 2019. Major cheating, since half a million of that was versioned Quicktime SDK headers that we no longer need.

@AngryAnt nice indeed

Oy! I linked to doc describing more Mesh API improvements in #unity3d 2020.1, but we've changed & expanded the API a bit. Here's an updated doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QC7NV7JQcvibeelORJvsaTReTyszllOlxdfEsaVL2oA/edit# -- feedback would be great.

So! This Mastodon instance is almost two years old! 🎉

I hope it's useful for some people (for me personally, not much TBH, I guess lack of critical mass).

Most of my time there is moderating spam accounts & spam posts :)

So this happened: "It's Raining Cubes", an attempt at making a 4KB #demoscene demo with
Andreia, Lina and Tomas. Ended up at 6.6KB :)

@Tak Yes! That was in October though:

So! Unity 2019.3 added some improvements to Mesh data *write* API. Now I'm adding ability to *read* Mesh data from Jobs/Burst. Does this make sense (doc link)? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QC7NV7JQcvibeelORJvsaTReTyszllOlxdfEsaVL2oA/edit#

New Input System for Unity! https://blogs.unity3d.com/2019/10/14/introducing-the-new-input-system/

‪Demoscene continues to be crazy: a raytracer done as an SQL statement http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=83222‬

‪New paper from Morten Mikkelsen: “Surface Gradient Based Bump Mapping Framework”, https://mmikkelsen3d.blogspot.com/p/3d-graphics-papers.html ‬

"An Introduction To Real-Time Subsurface Scattering" is a great overview of the techniques https://therealmjp.github.io/posts/sss-intro/

I just mistyped P4IGNORE as P4INGORE and now I'm wondering.

New tiny blog post, now that Clang 9 is out: "Clang Build Analyzer" https://aras-p.info/blog/2019/09/28/Clang-Build-Analyzer/

@shivoa is the wattage difference that high these days? My guess is that iphone might peak at something like 8-10W (just a wild guess). And a MacBookPro at... no idea. 35 or something?
