Realtime rendering and videogame programming mostly, but I love computer science and visuals in all their forms. This is a notepad of my ideas.

HN discussionIt's a lifelong journey of passion and learning :) I put together a list of resources here, just start somewhere and keep going, there are so many options nowadays the really the best thing is to chose a project/path and go from there http://c0de517e.blogspot.com/2020/11/baking-realistic-render...

HN discussionI am not so sure about that. GPU has been slowly moving away from having a fixed graphics pipline at all in the past a few years. See the recent Nanite technology from Unreal 5: http://c0de517e.blogspot.com/2020/05/some-thoughts-on-unreal...

HN discussionEven though people are giving "The Order: 1886" a hard time for it's linear, QTE-heavy gameplay, I really want to play through it simply because it is so technically impressive. (It might help that I make 3D engines for a living.) http://c0de517e.blogspot.com/2015/02/why-rendering-in-order-... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOHTJiRQB9o http://blog.selfshadow.com/publications/s2013-shading-course...

HN discussionI first heard about the Daltonize filter when I was working on Call of Duty. A large percentage of the Call of Duty audience is male, and by association a lot of the players are colorblind, so making the game colorblind friendly was important. This blog post by one of Activison central tech's technical directors has some interesting thoughts about colorblind filters http://c0de517e.blogspot.com/2013/02/color-blindne…

HN discussionI'd love to know where this guy works now. I've always thought it would be cool to do computer graphics programming but never been sure which sort of companies pay for guys like this to work for them. All I could find was this: http://c0de517e.blogspot.com/2010/12/leaving-ea.html indicating that he used to work for EA in Canada.

HN discussionAngelo Pesce (aka c0de517e) has written about using it as a rendering engineer on his blog[0]. I've heard of others using it in similar scenerios as well, but don't have a link to provide for them. [0]: http://c0de517e.blogspot.com/2013/10/wolframs-mathematica-10... (among a couple other posts about using it for specific tasks. He also spends some time defending it on there as well)
