Nice: Hardware ray-tracing support in Apple M3 and A17 Pro is pretty full-fledged. BVH traversal is hardware accelerated and there is shader reordering. That is similar to how NVIDIA and Intel do it. No mention of opacity masks or micro meshes though. developer.apple.com/videos/p…

Happy Native American Heritage Month. My culture is important to me and influences my designs, particularly my level designs. We didn't go away. We're still here, influencing art, culture, science, and tech. #DOOM is an Indigenous design. #yaqui #cherokee.

so excited by the explosion of gaussian splatting; cant wait for the community to start playing with painterly styles; on dreams, we used splats with tiny alpha-textured meshes called 'flecks' (not flat!) that selectively can replace the little 'blob' with painterly texture 1/n
