- the article presents a technique for Order-Independent Transparency
- the presented technique uses multiple passes over the geometry to generate transmittance coefficients
- discusses how this turns the problem into an additive shading problem
- presents the implementation details step-by-step, limitations and possible optimizations
- the article discusses the concept of coordinate systems and how it relates to column vs row-major matrices
- provides into how the misconception is based on old fixed function style OpenGL concepts
- overview of how matrix and vector convention are disconnected from memory layout
- additionally shows how the Odin language supports these concepts on the language level
- the blog post provides an overview of the process of how procedural vegetation was implemented in COD Black Ops 4
- discusses the design process and how different developments across the teams influenced the design of the system
- provides insights into the noise generation process, placement logic as well as storage considerations
- the article goes into detail how to implement a floating point (0 to 1) conversion to 8bit and back without relying on division support
- first presents the simple division method and then derives how to implement the same without division support
- goes into detail about how floating point precision and ranges
- the blog post provides insight into the BC7 texture compression format
- explains how to best express constant color blocks within the constraint of the format
- the article series about the implementation of a CPU rasterizer C++ continues
- part 4 to 6 are released and add support for 3d transformations, projections, clipping, depth buffer, and perspective correct interpolation
- the blog post presents a beginner-focused introduction to shader programming
- provides an overview of how shaders allow access to GPU resources, execution model, and restrictions
- shows how classical rendering pipelines with vertex & pixel shaders are used
- single header HLSL library for spherical harmonics
- implements support for L1 (2 bands, 4 coefficients) and L2 (3 bands, 9 coefficients) SH (spherical harmonics)
