Double Fine Productions is looking for a full time graphics programmer to join its San Francisco based development studio. Having recently shipped the award winning Psychonauts 2, we are looking to expand our graphics and systems programming team to support the development of our future titles.
You will be responsible for developing rendering features, optimizing game performance and memory usage, and building low level systems on PC and Xbox.
Applicants should have a strong preference for working in a highly creative, innovative, and nimble development environment, where collaborating with design, audio, art, animation, tech, and other disciplines is standard.

- covering the hardware and system components required for the functionality
- presents how motion vectors and optical flow are combined to generate intermediate frames
- a collection of simple test scenes for light conditions in UE5 and NVIDIA Falcor 5.2 Mogwai path tracer
- contains Perfect Lambert Plane, Perfect Mirror Plane, Perfect Mirror Weak White Plane, as well as a Glossy Plane
- the article presents how to implement a compute shader that can be used to paint on vertex meshes in realtime
- explains the fundamentals of compute shaders
- shows how to integrate the system with code examples in Unity
- the video explains how to implement blending between two skeletal animations
- shows what information the ASSIMP library provides and how the data is structured
- additionally presents how to update the OpenGL implementation to allow blending
- the article provides examples of different camera distortion effects (with code examples)
- presents distortion, expansion/contraction, longitudinal/horizontal stretch as well as extrusion effects
- PIX adds a separate preview branch of the tool that supports the Preview Agility SDKs
- supports Enhanced Barriers, Independent Front/Back Stencil Refs and Masks, Triangle Fans
- lists known limitations and considerations when starting to use the preview tool
