New blog post! In "Billions of triangles in minutes" we'll walk through hierarchical cluster level of detail generation of, well, billions of triangles in minutes. Retweets welcome! Link in reply because algorithm.

Unlike Vulkan, DX12 doesn't support loading 8-bit types from byte address buffers; this seems like it would be a problem for working with 8-bit triangle indices, but don't worry, you can just

#screenshotsaturday but it's Friday

The demo I’ve been working on is finally online! 👉 https://t.co/QoErdXMVLt Compare 3D models using traditional KTX2 textures (UASTC/ETC1S) vs AVIF + Spark to see the benefits of real-time texture compression in web apps.

You are excited to see Godot 4.5 ship because it's full of great updates. I am excited to see Godot 4.5 ship because this means my growing stack of PRs will get merged now. We are not the same.

Starting in ~20 minutes!

Upcoming niagara stream! Tomorrow (Saturday, Aug 23) at 11 AM PST (6 PM GMT), we will talk about and work on simplifying Vulkan synchronization code, following recent developments in the ecosystem like unified layouts. https://t.co/wwMvJVn9Ub

gltfpack now supports permissive simplification as well as a WebP texture compression option. See release notes for even more library & gltfpack changes. The documentation has seen significant structural improvements and I'm now quite happy with it :) https://t.co/hGFjcanwgs

... deformation, multiple improvements to appearance by default and more non-simplification work! Thanks to Valve for sponsoring most of the work on the core library in this release! GitHub stars and RTs are appreciated! https://t.co/BOKhCzrMqE

meshoptimizer v0.25 is out! Featuring new simplification function that optimizes positions and attributes for appearance, experimental permissive mode to simplify faceted regions with selective seam preservation, regularization option for improved tessellation quality and ...

meshopt_simplify 0.18 (summer 2022) vs 0.25 (summer 2025, soon!)

You're no match for OpenAI's marketing team.

This is great. Two related thoughts! - Having detailed performance available at any time in any build at a single hotkey, structured to fit your application and displayed inline, is super valuable - even if you also use external profilers. microprofile at Roblox was like that.

Excited to share some news....

Thanks to Valve for sponsoring most of the work on the core library in this release! RTs / GitHub stars appreciated as always :) https://t.co/rAZ16Q0W85

meshoptimizer 0.24 is out! Featuring new meshlet builder for raytracing workloads, improvements to cluster partitioning, new functions for reindexing, simplification, clustering and coverage computation, many internal improvements and, of course, VS2013 support!

Great to see this. It really helps to have regular dedicated periods of time where no work that's not fixing bugs and paper cuts is done. A week is a good amount of time! If I were making user facing software I'd probably go as far as a week every month, OKRs be damned.
