✈️ Q-Games worked on the R&D of Cloudly, the rendering technology behind the skies and clouds in ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE! ☁️ From a wide variety of cloud formations to sunlight streaming through the clouds and aircraft casting shadows on them, Cloudly brings the skies to life with stunning realism. Experience the breathtaking skies powered by Cloudly! ✨

With the yen at a historic low, now is the time for US pubs to fund games in Japan. We have a few things we are making and would love to show them to some publishers, reach out! The timing is perfect.

Seriously, if you haven't played it yet and you have a PS4 or PS5, you really should grab The Tomorrow Children, give yourself a break and play something that's emphatically not standard fare.

New Post: Adaptive Compute Tessellation. Taking the tess pattern from the previous post and turning it into a WebGPU demo. filmicworlds.com/blog/adapti…

Adaptive Compute Tessellation

In the previous post, we talked about ways to tessellate a triangle with adaptive tess factors. Now it’s time to take the next step and actually tessellate a mesh. The goal of this post is to put...

New Post: Triangle Tessellation with Clamped Parallelograms. The key idea is to use float tess factors like Dx11 tessellation but replace the pattern to be straighter and more stable. Also includes an MIT licensed web viewer for reference. filmicworlds.com/blog/comput…

Triangle Tessellation with Clamped Parallelograms

Hardware tessellation as we know it today (Dx11-style) had its origins on the Xbox 360, which released in 2005. Time flies, right? It was a natural step in the evolution toward film-quality realtime...

Good read: "GPU Cache Hierarchy: Understanding L1, L2, and VRAM" charlesgrassi.dev/blog/gpu-c…

GPU Cache Hierarchy: Understanding L1, L2, and VRAM

Why does one texture sample cost 4 cycles and another 500? GPU cache hierarchy explained—L1, L2, VRAM, and how to stop thrashing them.

The Tomorrow Children is ridiculously cheap in the Black Friday sale - if you have a PS5 (or PS4) go grab it for less than the price of a decent cup of coffee! Games that use fully custom 3d engines need to be supported! (please)
