- discusses issues with the current Vulkan binding model
- presents how the new descriptor buffer extension allows decoupling draw calls from the descriptor binding
- presents how it helps with the D3D12 layer and can solve common issues with the current binding model
- it additionally covers how this extension also allows GPU timeline descriptor copying
- the tutorial explains how to create an ice wall VFX inspired from the game Valorant in Godot
- covers the code setup, art asset creation as well as shader authoring
Marmoset, developer of the real-time rendering software, Marmoset Toolbag, is looking for an experienced developer to help build bigger and better software tools for 3D artists.
The responsibilities of a Tools Engineer on the Marmoset team will focus on technical design and implementation of UI systems, and refining the user experience for new and existing workflows in 3D art production.
