I've finally released LTCGI 1.7.0, integrating @sim.red 's VRC Light Volumes! I have also decided to record video patchnotes: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylRA.... I'm not @strasz.bsky.social , but it's fun to try. Download and docs on ltcgi.dev as usual.

I made an experimental "GPU mode" in my toy shader debugger (pema.dev/hlsl/). It runs the shader on the GPU with WebGPU by transpiling to WGSL with the Slang compiler. You can click on a pixel to drop into the interpreter and start debugging. Also added image previews when you hover variables. :)

(🧵 1/6) Recently I've been working on an HLSL interpreter, which can execute shader code entirely on the CPU github.com/pema99/HLSLI... I used it to make a cute little interactive debugger demo. You can try it yourself at pema.dev/hlsl/

Today I improved GPU Grass with a feature I call "batched instancing". It builds a grass batch at runtime and instances it. No world size increase, less GPU memory usage, runtime grass amount control, and better perf. 144 FPS with 11.2M grass triangles visible to the horizon!

Is this modded Minecraft, or a VRChat world?

I wanted to play around with procedural generation in blender and ended up discovering the amazing YouTube channel "Alaskan FX". I highly recommend checking them out!

Just finished Open NID's release. A new open source tool to help get past that pesky "IVRCSDKPreprocessSceneCallback" error from the VRChat Worlds SDK. Can automatically fix Network ID Conflicts upon Build! And manage your Network IDs in a Scene. github.com/BobyStar/Ope...

When I found a pub with an inverted normal map. (If you understand what this means, you have to repost.)
