I just found this attitude of carefully studying the real world , in order to figure out how to best represent it in fiction/animation/3d, kind of relatable :) there's tons of fun anecdotes like that in the book.

...ignoring the protests of their coworkers, they just kept studying the moving fire and the surface, until their coworkers ended up heroically putting out the fire...

...because they wanted to figure out how the light of the fire would reflect on the kettle surface, so a small fire was necessary to observe and figure this out...

in one anecdote, two animators wanted to animate a witch's kettle under a burning fire. and so they started a small fire in the studio...

really enjoying this book so far. has so many neat and interesting anecdotes from the early days of disney...

in case this place goes down, and anyone wanna keep in touch: https://t.co/mKWO3gbFY6

chalice, drawn by Paolo Uccello like 500 years ago. but it blows my mind how it looks like taken from a modern 3D CAD software, despite being 500 years old lol.

I needed to make a small desktop application for my own use, and thanks to Dear ImGui, I got it all working from ground up in only like 1-2 hours lol. praise be to Dear ImgGui 🙌

when you make your code twice as fast, by doing less stupid shit and moving around a few lines of code. 😼😼😼

VK_KHR_its_friday_stop_rendering

Shader within a tweet: HLSL vertex shader rendering fullscreen triangle without need for a vertex buffer: float4 main(uint vertexID : SV_VertexID) : SV_Position { return float4(vertexID == 1 ? 3 : -1, vertexID == 2 ? 3 : -1, 0.5, 1); }

@VulkanAPI experts here? I'm quite confused by the the fact, that if I specify my swapchain extents that are beyond what my surface capabilities report, vkCreateSwapchainKHR still returns success, even though validation says this is not okay. But why? 🤔

This month it is 20 years since I stopped using singletons (as in the Singleton pattern) anywhere in my code. Instead I do something like this struct and initialize it in main(). Then I pass it around as a pointer.

lol. just found out some bozo was using my photo and a misspelled version of my name to offer services on some freelancer website. that scammer account is gone now it seems, but be aware of that i guess lol 🤣😂
