@jkaniarz where I can find the embree parser?

@anji good question. I guess without a complete view of "literally everything in the whole program" (super-LTO/LTCG?), they wouldn't know whether something takes an address of a function, for example. Or something like that.

I wrote about optimizing the new C++ based Blender OBJ importer, and it accidentally ventured into calling conventions topic. https://aras-p.info/blog/2022/05/12/speeding-up-blender-obj-import/

@emanuel 60 eur/month. but that's not a problem, I don't need donations.

@bram_dingelstad @kevkev I'm outsourcing the actual hosting bits to masto.host (me: $, they: host). I understand the media size limit is primarily for saving on storage $$$. Right now in total there's 55GB of media stored on this instance, which has to cost $ for someone somewhere.

@logicalerror @sheredom @aeva She does support motion blur, even on the fur. There are some artifacts though.

@anji @sheredom @aeva yeah… makes it run faster!

@sheredom @aeva yours seems to be in the early “I can render a heightmap” stage. mine already supports detail objects and trees!

@coolpowers nah, it was like 4.5k for a while

@aeva @sheredom I’m gonna post a totally gamedev pic as a clarification!

@asmodai @neilogd @aeva I already did: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@aras/108197757332021441

@sheredom @aeva they are linked to from the "about" mastodon page (but not quite easy to find). https://gamedev.place/mastodon-guidelines.html -- TLDR; if you *never* post about anything gamedev related, then why not pick some other instance.

Tiny blog post with color gradients in sRGB (particle systems in Unity), Linear (vfx graph in Unity) and Oklab. https://aras-p.info/blog/2021/11/29/Gradients-in-linear-space-arent-better/

@ignaloidas and I did try libdeflate here: https://aras-p.info/blog/2021/08/09/EXR-libdeflate-is-great/

@ignaloidas haven't checked myself, but e.g. https://www.htslib.org/benchmarks/zlib.html indicates that libdeflate is faster than cloudfare's zlib fork.

I looked into lossless compression options in OpenEXR and write a small post with the findings. Next up, trying to add/tweak more compression thingies! https://aras-p.info/blog/2021/08/04/EXR-Lossless-Compression/

@Kimimaru I've no idea

Alright, first blog post of 2021 -- I did some more texture compression performance testing on Apple M1. https://aras-p.info/blog/2021/01/18/Texture-Compression-on-Apple-M1/

I made a blog post about GPU texture compression, with way more scatter plots than you ever asked for. https://aras-p.info/blog/2020/12/08/Texture-Compression-in-2020/
