As promised! New blog post: Effortless Simplex Grid 🚀I break down the simplex transformation used by Ken Perlin in Simplex Noise and show how I applied it to generate a simplex mesh for prototyping Digital Terrain Model (DTM) rendering with contour lines and height shading in ShaderToy erfan-ahmadi.github.io/blog/…

بچه‌ها من قراره ۱۰-۱۲ روز دیگه تو گیم‌کرفت درباره رندرینگ بازی و آناتومی داخلی GPU صحبت کنم. دوست دارید رجیستر کنید بیاید دور هم کیف کنیم. gamecraft.ir

This past month I've been using Nabla to work on a solution to stream images from disk/drive storage into the GPU with a technique very similar to Virtual Texturing, but streaming tiles with toroidal updating to simplify sampling (the shader ends up being quite trivial!). This enables users to navigate huge images (the one showcased is a 39k x 16k georeferenced image) without stuttering. Our perfect mipmap solution also ensures there are no visual artifacts when zooming in or out, and lets us trivially support Non-Power-of-Two sized images like shown in the video, meaning any texture can be streamed with this technique. We plan on developing this further into its own format, by saving images in a novel compressed format that optimizes for both storage and speed when being used to stream and render images with our technique.

Our client's app became 100x slower overnight. After hours of digging, it turned out the culprit was… memcpy into a mapped GPU buffer. The fix? Updating the Nvidia driver (RTX2060) to 581.29. Sometimes the GPU gods just want you to suffer. 😭💻

Working on #Nabla I've often looked out of my corner office window at the #Matterhorn, and finally I climed it A guide's knowledge of the route makes your ascent twice as fast, making sure you'll be back for dinner Let us be your #Vulkan & #GPU guides and elevate your software

My reaction:

What if the answer to improving your life isn’t to know more? ㅤ What if the answer is focusing on less?

Self love is not about eating junk food, being lazy, or delaying sleep for more scrolling. It's about doing hard workouts, eating healthy, and going to bed at a reasonable time.

🚫 When the Craftsman Mindset Doesn’t Work

🔻 Passion Mindset asks: “Is this job fulfilling me enough?” It focuses on what your job can offer you. This often leads to job-hopping, dissatisfaction, and anxiety — because real passion rarely exists from day one.

🔺 Craftsman Mindset asks: “How can I become excellent at what I do?” It focuses on what you can offer the world. This leads to mastery, confidence, and genuine satisfaction — the kind that grows over time.

Its a crisis of your own making, there's plenty of reputable companies like mine offering expert consulting with actual past clients, but you want to hire employees worrying about IP and conflicts of interest, which you think you "can" control. Stop ghosting B2B applications.

Shipping with #Nabla's #HLSL Standard Template Library madness. One* Graphics Pipeline to draw them all, and in darkness not bind descriptors at all. * SPIR-V Unity build, input is >16k Lines of Code.

We just dropped a #CUDA-like #HLSL library in #Nabla for Optimized Workgroup-Wide Prefix Sums using #Vulkan's #SPIR-V Subgroup Intrinsics Completely reusable thanks to Static Polymorphism and Accessor Concepts github.com/Devsh-Graphics-Pr…

Soon we drop a #HLSL Header-Only Workgroup Scan Library Think #OpenCL 3.0 `cl_khr_work_group_uniform_arithmetic` but for #Vulkan Compute, completely userspace It emulates `GroupNonUniformArithmetic` with `GroupNonUniformShuffleRelative` which is 100% faster on #Nvidia GPUs

N4ce 5.0 BETA is around the corner, remade with #Vulkan using github.com/Devsh-Graphics-Pr… as presented at #Vulkanised 2024

Finally! I don't have to switch back and forth between YouTube and Spotify and sync manually

This was crazy to see in person.
