This new Slang blog focuses on how you can make use of wave intrinsics-- which you may already be familiar with from traditional compute approaches-- to get more performance out of the familiar 2D Gaussian splatting example. shader-slang.org/blog/2025/07... #slang

Everything is back up and running in my vulkan renderer after implementing automatic shader mapping/binding using the @shader-slang.bsky.social API. It's now possible to set shader parameters by name instead of using the raw descriptor set/write API. #vulkan #gameengine #rendering #gamedev
