I've quietly made my LayerProcGen framework public:
https://github.com/runevision/LayerProcGen

It's a framework (C#) that can be used to implement layer-based procedural generation that's infinite, deterministic and contextual.

Nobody else have tried/tested it yet - if you're up for taking it for a spin, let me know how it looks; what's clear or confusing, if you think there's low hanging fruit improvements I could make, etc.
#ProcGen

Video of a mountainous terrain and visualizations of the kind of layer based generated data that's used to generate it.

We had a #GeometryNodes design workshop last week. We discussed a fairly large number of topics which you can read about in the blog post and meeting notes. We invited
@erindale as a special guest, thanks for joining! #b3d #devfund

Vue and PlantFactory are being discontinued, but as part of being discontinued, you can now download and use them for free.

This is the end of an era; Vue has been a mainstay in building 3D terrain and environments as long as I can remember.

meshoptimizer is at 5000 stars!

I have a growing list of things I'd like to tackle both in the core library and in gltfpack; I intend to spend more time on meshoptimizer/gltfpack in the coming months.

Was hoping to get a grant from Epic MegaGrants for maintenance for this year but they declined my application so I guess we'll just yolo this :)

Thank you everyone for using the project!

Wanted to post about the new stuff we've worked on for #GeometryNodes for a while now, but the release notes page is getting so long that I did not know where to start. Anyway, here we go. #b3d #devfund

the thing about c++ is you can do

std::numeric_limits<uint32_t>::max()

and be technically correct, portable, more expressive, etc.

or you can just do

UINT32_MAX

which is probably Wrong and Bad in many ways, but has the strong advantage of not sucking ass

If you use Mastodon on desktop (as opposed to mobile), I cannot praise highly enough Phanpy https://phanpy.social/ #phanpy
It really cleans up my timeline, handles replies very nicely, and allows for a great "refresh" (view updates) experience.

This is the performance regression that I discovered a while ago:

https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools/issues/5658

If you are targeting Android devices, make use of fp16 math and you are using a recent build of spirv-opt (last two years), then you are most likely affected. The proposed fix should give you a noticeable performance boost.
