I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct. That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9nO...

For quite a while I've been working on a Fast Fourier Transform based ocean simulation in my render engine. Whilst there is still a lot to work on, I'm excited to see the result once I've added IBL to this renderer.

Yeaaaah…there is a lot of bias in the deferred path that I haven’t gotten around to fixing. I just wanted to get it working again first haha. But I am hoping to improve on it later on and bring it closer to ground truth.

It’s been on-hold for a while. Had difficulties remastering the textures since you really need PBR materials to make it shine (no pun intended hehe). Might get back to it at some point though!

Back in 2021 I released a Vulkan sample that demonstrated adding ray-tracing to a traditional game render pipeline. Since then the code has rotted away and stopped working. So this week I finally resurrected it! Hope it will keep being a learning resource for beginners. github.com/diharaw/hybr...
