As soon as Bas Nieuwenhuizen [https://www.basnieuwenhuizen.nl/] mentioned that
he was working on support for Vulkan Raytracing in RADV, my curiosity as to
whether this feature could be brought to older generations of AMD hardware was
peaked.
Yesteryesterday and yesterday I decided to implement some of the missing pieces
for exposing Vulkan Raytracing on older generations of AMD hardware, such as
Vega, Polaris and the original Navi.
The work is currently available here if you wish to try it at
Wow. Most of this went right over my head but I get excited just from reading about this sort of stuff
I mean I did play with ray tracing to some extend with Wings3D and the POV-Ray and YafaRay ray tracing programs back than and I still use it for some speed modelling. In fact the last time I touched this was this very year and I was so happy that at least YafaRay did Just Work™ on my Fedora Linux PC.
I re-used a scene that I created over a decade ago and while the result had slightly different lightning it isn’t really noticeable after converting and compression of the rendered files.
So yeah people, please do keep this stuff alive, k thanks 😀
Book cover showing the ascent of man. Unreadable. Full of grammatical errors and run on sentences. Just incredibly difficult to read. There may be some useful information in here, but I'll be damned if I can find it. Seriously needs to be edited down by someone with a strong grasp of the English lan...
Haha, damn it @edent, I almost snorted my coffee all over the place at “I hacked my blog’s theme just so I could rate it with zero stars” 🤣🤣
I tell you, #EliteDangerous multicrew is the best when done right. Today I wasn’t in charge tho and had to watch most of the time while the little one cracked asteroid after asteroid 😀
Some great insight on #PireWire – found while trying to find out what causes audio crackling and high CPU load. It may be a bug but I still think I’m doing something wrong here.
Also very curious about the V4L2 proposals. That is a very important daily driver of mine. Especially the loopback device. Any improvements on this are in theory great.
The Primary Buffer Panel got some new buttons today. So shiny! The ICP is starting to shape up. For more immersion in my #simPit – pew pew. And big thanks to IcedPhenix and Eaggra who both kept me company during the rather boring parts and me going!
OMG, I found a legitimate and personal mail in my mailbox. That’s probably the first between all the spam and informational crap since… I dunno… what year is it? 😅
