What Hacker News says?
In the Sponza scenes there is fairly obvious dithering going on which makes the visuals look very unstable especially in motion, idk whats up with that? Its most clearly visible in this screenshot: https://ktstephano.github.io/assets/portfolio/Sponza2022_3.p... Also the lack of AA adds to the visual instability. But still, nice work! I'd love to see what this could do with better assets/art (and maybe some extra sha…

But, they end up more complicated when you get serious and they instill bad practices. Instead, the "modern" APIs allow you to leverage your pre-existing knowledge of "allocate arrays of structs and start indexing them." That's not trivial. But, it is already familiar. And, it ends up a lot better in the…
