Venus has an extremely slow rotation on its axis, taking about 243 Earth days to complete a single rotation. Meanwhile, its orbital period (the time it takes to complete one orbit around the Sun) is about 225 Earth days. So, a "day" on Venus (from one sunrise to the next) is

Finally, I can share this, FSR 2.0 is a thing. It uses temporal reconstruction and it produces superb results, while being able to run on any GPU. It will make you reconsider a few things about upscaling, going forward.
Looks like we can now tell you a bit about

Gotta love how films like Starship Troopers and RoboCop are really satires of fascism and authoritarian governance, yet they're marketed as your typical violent action movies 🙂

For those using APIs like Vulkan and DX12 and have to deal with PSO caching, just use uber shaders. That's what I do in Spartan, that's what Doom Eternal does:

Every pass in Spartan (editor included) now uses push constants (120 bytes buffer) for per pass and/or per draw needs. This reduced CPU time by 1.39 ms in the sponza scene, more than I expected.

I'm thrilled to be joining AMD as an MTS Software Development Engineer. I love games, but I love engineering even more, so I would like that to be the focus. Also, the AMD team is made by great people, that's another reason why I felt confident to make the move. I'm so happy 🙂

I can finally outperform DX11, using Vulkan, in every scenario. I can't stress enough the importance of doing competitive performance tests between your current backend and your old backend, before deprecating it.

These points should be an industry standard.
2022 was a rather awful year for PC ports. To start 2023 with a fresh slate I have made a video extolling 13 key ways to improve PC releases with many examples. Please share gratuitously as the industry could use a wake up call regarding these issues IMO!

Starfield now correctly applies a negative mip bias when upscaling, this means you'll get a sharper image.

Spartan Engine, 6 years ago.
Back then, opinions in my social circle were along the lines of, you can't do this as a one-man team, you work too much, you won't find anywhere better than Greece, lots of disbelief and toxicity. It was a dark period.
So friends, trust yourselves.

This time yes, now that they tasted the infinite money coming from the online aspect of it, they'll want as many players as possible.

That's a good opportunity to remind to developers that apart from the impressive upscaling quality, it runs on consoles, it's open source, it comes with a highly permissive license and it has some very smart people behind it.
Cyberpunk 2077 gets an FSR 2.1 upgrade - not just for PC, but for consoles too.

Just rolled out an enhanced tire friction model in my engine (vastly improves car handling), drawing inspiration from the Pacejka ’94 formula. While many racing sims derive from this, a heavily commented, ready-to-use model is not easy to find, so here it is:
Spartan's default car world has leveled up with a fully drivable, physics-based Toyota AE86 Sprinter Trueno. There is also quite precise simulation of suspension stiffness, compression, damping, and more (including console controller support).

Spartan is now using physical light units. I had to tweak the camera's properties to get, let's say 600 lumens, to look "right", which I find beautiful and encouraging (since I have more work to do). No more abstract intensity values 🙂

Some claimed that the Unrecord video was fake, meaning it was real life and not rendered, the creator casually posted this. I guess photogrammetry and UE5 is the matrix 🙂
