Pretty sure you really wanted to see all the 14 uniform polyhedra with only regular 3, 4, 6 or 8-gons as faces today

Aaaaalmost finished with the water stuff. Right now debugging why frustum culling, while working perfectly for the terrain chunks, fails for the water chunks...

So by manually poking around I've found that disabling texture read (needed for discard alpha testing) in shadow passes makes them about 50-75% faster. Making all draw calls read the same texcoord also works, though the gains are smaller. Am I actually texture bandwidth bound? 😭

I've "optimized" my entity rendering to batch instances of the same mesh (still using just one multi-draw-indirect call), going from ~17k to just 115 draw commands for this shot. Somehow it gains 0.2ms without shadow maps but loses 7ms with shadows enabled 🥲

I'm trying something with the entities rendering and somehow I messed things up really bad and now random objects get random textures which creates these cornflower ghosts

Sooo initially the idea was that stone paths and similar floorings make movement faster. Now I've noticed that moving on them is actually slower.

The thing is, I haven't even started implementing this mechanic yet... 🤣

Btw I don't think I've shown my game's terrain LODs earlier, so here they are!

Finished refactoring water rendering to use the same chunk-based LOD system as the terrain, with frustum culling and async loading and stuff. No more missing chunks & holes & flickering, everything works smoothly! 🥰

My dynamic water system is currently somewhat independent of the large-scale water created at world generation, which leads to some fun stuff like creating a layer of water...underneath existing water 😅

We all been talking about google search getting worse and etc, but not being able to recognise a word just due to a single spelling error (lithos) while possessing 10% of the world's computing power is quite something

SIMULATION
IS
WORKING!!!

It's extremely non-optimized, and there are still some glitches, and of course the rendering is very temporary, but IT'S WORKING!
