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! 🎉

"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.

@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?

I tried my "toy path tracer" on iPhone 11 Pro, just for kicks.
