It's been a while since my last Unreal Engine optimization article, so it's nice to have an impactful change to write about for my newest: Figuring out why the automatic asset reimport tanks the framerate (and how to fix it):

Adding a trail option.
I’ll also add a separate polish brush (won’t be a perfect match to zbrush hpolish but should be closer than the current flatten).
While working on spark.js, I realized that common normal map compression formats weren’t supported in popular frameworks like three.js. I added the necessary support to three.js and wrote an article to shed some light on the topic:

I'm excited to announce that @maxonvfx.bsky.social has licensed Spark for their cutting-edge Redshift renderer! Looking forward to supporting their work.
Made a try on using it for OBB computation in shader, with diff with more classical PCA, works nicely

Four crops of a photo showing a green baseball cap in two different color spaces. The caption says "Color quantization in CIELAB space, visualized. The input is converted to CIELAB space and a special “HyAB” distance formula is used when clustering. This in theory should result in better image quality."
New article on my site: HyAB k-means for color quantization
In which I try to improve color clustering with a different distance function. It's a simple technique in the end but it's pretty hard to evaluate if it's an improvement or not!

This is a fantastic write up (with lots of live demos) of a whole slew of anti-aliasing techniques!

I've built a bot that creates and post a generated Zelda map using WaveFunctionCollapse. A new map every 2 hours! It's hosted on my HomeLab server.
Yes please 🙂
Green triangle on iOS with webgpu feature flag activated
This Saturday, 11 AM PST, we'll talk about Vulkan 1.4, what the new features are for and why they are exciting! (or not)

Hey all, I wrote some WebGPU code to test some race conditions in a shader. If you're willing to try, let me know what you see. Red/flicker means there's a race.
I'm especially curious about V3 which could theoretically race but I was never able to catch it.

A Gyroid model generated by Manifold's SDF LevelSet function.
#Manifold v3.0 is out! This is a huge release - we have removed *all* required dependencies.
Our npm package is half the size and twice the speed. Our #SDF LevelSet is much faster and higher quality.
And so much more: github.com/elalish/mani...
The Mutable sample is also up on Fab now! Definitely explore it, I know the team would love feedback as well.

I have this error in #webgpu when I reload multiple times my program in chrome canary. I need to quit and re run the browser. Any idea @gfxprogrammer
I like https://lospec.com/palette-list to use predefined palette for debugging/viz, I used https://lospec.com/palette-list/resurrect-64 to debug quads #webgpu
Is there a tool to debug webgpu in the browser like @SpectorJS
Any idea @sebavanjs ? 🙂

Hello twitter,
I used dat.gui in the past, is it still the way to go in javascript for debug UI or is there something new as easy to use ?
I know imgui but I need something in JS for this case :)
