Just plugged an iPad Pro into a 49" monitor to try/test @CellWalkApp, haha. This is so cool. This little rendering engine has come so far... 300 million atoms on a 49" monitor using a mobile GPU is crazy. #gamedev #scicomm #ios

I was writing some debug code and somehow I ended up writing a hierarchical SDF renderer. I'm getting ~ 1ms on my M1 for a full 5K render but this should be faster on newer MBPs.

Did you know you can use Swift Playgrounds to program Metal directly on iPad? Here’s a toy implementation of bump mapping, made and recorded on iPad Pro.
