Thank you everyone for the support in 2018, this is the last post of the series for this year, the next post will be released on January 14, 2019.
I wish you happy holidays and a great start into 2019.
- explains the state management system implemented for the Diligent Engine
- resources states are exposed on D3D12 style semantic for barriers
- allows mixing of automatic and manual explicit state management
- the developer can choose to disable automatic transitions on a per resource basis
- can switch on a per-resource basis at any time during the frame
- course notes for the Siggraph Asia 2019 course
- presenting the newest developments and techniques used during The Incredibles 2
- talking about Simulation & FX, Rendering & Compositing and Real-time Tools to allow quicker iteration time
- overview of subdivision surface representations for use with OpenSubdiv
- explains the parallax mapping technique used to represent the interiors of buildings as seen through windows
- broken into multiple layers to separate window frames, curtains and interior of the room
- baked separate light texture to allow night time for interiors
- explains sparse binding and residency
- sparse binding lifts the requirement that resource memory needs to be fully continuous in memory. Instead, memory is managed with pages that can be mapped at non-continues offsets
- sparse residency lifts the requirement that the complete resource needs to mapped. For example, only parts of a texture atlas could be mapped
- describes how the histogram of pixel brightness is collected using a compute shader in The Witcher 3
- the system allows a dynamic weighting of pixels that origin from the sky
- explains how to use D3D12 to calculate a histogram of pixel brightness in a compute shader
- shows how to use a per-bin weight to calculate the luminance for the exposure step
- part two of rasterization implementation article series with C++
- shows how to extend the rasterizer into 3D
- now implements the necessary pipeline to project vertices from object space into clip space for rasterizations
- adds support for depth testing and index buffers
- RenderDoc survey looking to gather information about the user experience, stability, development experience, API and platform coverage
- help to set the direction for future developments
- presenting an overview of next-generation Intel architecture
- will support adaptive sync, tile-based rendering, coarse pixel shading
- acceleration structure visualization for DXR (DirectX Raytracing) and Vulkan
- serialize DXR application to a C++ capture is now supported
- added Vulkan pixel history support
- new AMD driver adds support for VK_EXT_inline_uniform_block, VK_KHR_swapchain_mutable_format, VK_EXT_scalar_block_layout and sparse extensions
