How many of you were around 3D work 25 years ago? This was a hit back then, still is but it used to too. jackals-forge.com/abom.html With GenAI these days I don't have to explain why I remembered this.

Hardest thing in programming? Still naming shit. 8th try at a realtime renderer is called - TNO, "The New One" 😅

It's a me, Path (Tracing) Mario! Ready for a game of golf. Well, not really since it's hackity hack all through and performance is like 20fps on 4090. But, it kind of works, thanks to libsm64 making this extra fun to work on a renderer! RT if you like!

How it started vs how it's going - 18 months of progress. Technically there were 6 months between a firefly-ridden cornell box and the first image as well.

this led to nowhere. I'll wait for AGI to try again, until then Human Brain, unfortunately.
I'm joining y'all. I wrote a document and pointed Claude (Monet) at it. Here's my path tracer that's almost realtime, here are the tools to measure and references to look at and here's "how I would do it, but don't listen to me", make a renderer for common folks. See ya in a week

We have to spice up these render tests a bit! Dude fell asleep as I was fiddling with options, he's also rather short

Freejack (1992) with Emilio Estevez, Mick Jagger, and Anthony Hopkins and the crash scene in it is what I thought when I saw @Tesla flying demo. youtube.com/watch?v=qtTYFm0d…

Campy movie, I recommend if you wanna experience early EARLY 90's movies. Another is RoboCop 3, but that's a story for another time.

A company born from demoscene wizards, which built the Unreal Engine, which would render absolutely insane graphics (for the era) with 32mb of RAM and 4mb of VRAM:

One of the things I always avoided was 3d modeling. I can do it, I'm just too impatient by nature to do it. Same with drawing vs painting. Former requires patience and precision, latter is more suitable for my 'personality', hah. Brush my way into the (3d) form.

I take it back. Come on, @EpicGames this is alpha at best. Nothing works in it (linux wayland nor x11). For a brief moment it did show me my, get this, Steam games I have installed.

Also managed to get a panic from it. At least it's written in Rust, eh? Maybe guys forgot their programming socks today.
