For the scenes that they’re showing, 76ms is an eternity. Granted, it will get (a lot) faster but this being better than traditional rendering is a way off yet.

Because none of what they call “tariffs imposed on the US” are tariffs. It’s the trade deficit divided by the country’s exports to the US. They’re literally making shit up and expecting stupid people to take it at face value.

They’re imposing tariffs on uninhabited islands. They don’t care enough to even try and make it plausible. That’s how stupid they think their supporters are and how much contempt they have for them.

I used to believe this vehemently. It has become clear that that’s a notion from a bygone age.

The internet has created a global town square where the loudest voices are the ones that catch people’s attention, regardless of the veracity of their claims. There is no truth any more, only the cult of personality.

Tomorrow the US installs a racist, rapist, treasonous kleptocrat as president because the majority of people are unable to think objectively and swallow his promises at face value, despite every indication that life will be immeasurably worse if you’re not a billionaire oligarch.

What’s hilarious is there’s nothing physically based about the Disney model. It’s empirical and It’s not even energy conserving.

As sibling pointed out, physically based rendering precedes “PBR” by a looong time and goes much, much deeper than “I put a metalness map in my shader”

They do.

In path tracing blue noise does not increase convergence, but does reduce the perceptual error.

CUDA IS the merit. They’ve been developing the software stack to make GPU programming accessible for 2 decades now. They’re a software company as much or more than they are a hardware company. Ignoring this fundamentally misunderstands why they’re in the position they’re in now.

This is exactly what the article is about. TLDR they can be roughly equivalent

Thanks for the recommendations. I’m definitely planning on trying to build something as I learn so the tip on DigitaOcean is appreciated too.

Asks for screenshot from movie. Image generator gives screenshot from movie. Who’s at fault here?

egui is pure rust. It is not a rust binding of ImGUI

Do you know of a good style guide that encapsulates common conventions like create/destroy?

PowerShell is the worst of all worlds. Its a terrible shell compared to bash/zsh/whateversh, and for anything complex enough to need a long script you’re far better off in Python.
