When you transition from rasterization to ray tracing, you may want to compute camera rays based on a 4x4 world to clip space matrix. My new blog post shows why the obvious approach for that fails and provides code for a reliable alternative: momentsingraphics.de/CameraRays.h...

And yeah yeah, I know, Xcode and blah blah. Few crashes a day are guaranteed in my experience. The price to me is worth it for the Metal graphics and compute debugger however.

Swift is a great language to learn after JavaScript / Typescript imho. In fact going back to JS after half a year of Swift feels like a downgrade to me.

I watched "BIOHAZARD 4D-EXECUTER", a forgotten 2000 animation made by Capcom in the Resident Evil universe. It appears to be rendered using the same CG technology Capcom used for the cutscenes in the old GameCube Resident Evils.

For anyone who's tried to use spherical harmonics for lighting and found the notation- and terminology- heavy definitions confusing, highly recommend this classic: grahamhazel.com/blog/2017/12... I think Graham Hazel's blog was down for a long time, years maybe, but works now!

Jailbreaking a PS3 in 2025 includes opening a specific website with Flash enabled via the console built-in browser. Once the Flash .swf file is downloaded and executed, it takes *complete* control over the console and installs the custom firmware—delightful.

every time I think a single shadow map covering the entire scene will be *just enough*, I inevitably end up adding at least 1 extra cascade
