With the sad news of RAD shutting down, I backed up their dev talks for future referencing. Some of their tech talks from The Order were so influential and blew my mind when I first saw them! drive.google.com/drive/folde…
The REAC 2024 talk that I did with Stephen McAuley is now available to watch on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=G5VeATrO…

If an artist or game director ever tells you that you need to add an "eclipse mode", it's actually pretty easy to do just by modifying your shadow map PCF kernel! Just set the weights to match the shape of an occluded disk.
Me, a shader programmer, when a C++ programmer tells me about that one time they found a compiler bug:

If you want to learn how to implement a simple shader printf in HLSL 2021 and D3D12, then I've got a new blog post for you: therealmjp.github.io/posts/h…
If you’re at SIGGRAPH, feel free to stop by the bar at the JW Marriott at around 8 tonight if you want to say hello and chat with graphics people!
It’s pretty amazing that REAC was both free of charge and full of high-quality content! Let’s all hope that the organizers do this again next year. 🙂
TIL that there's a very straightforward mesh shader + visibility buffer sample in the GDK graphics samples: github.com/microsoft/Xbox-GD…
Just finished my first day as Principal Rendering Programmer at Sony Santa Monica Studio. I'm super excited to be working with such an awesome and talented team!
After 13(!) years, today is sadly my last day at Ready At Dawn studios. I worked with some amazing and talented people that I will miss dearly, and I’m proud of everything that we created together. Time for a few weeks off before I start what’s next!
Looks like D3D12 is going to let you allocate CPU-visible VRAM on systems that have ReBAR: devblogs.microsoft.com/direc…
