[1:33:42][Q&A][:speech]
[1:34:08][@vaualbus][Q: How can we disable :lighting for the debug :UI?]
[1:35:00][@futuremillennium][Looks like OBS is skipping a lot of frames due to encoding lag. Even the webcam is low FPS when you move in-game]
[1:36:16][@futuremillennium]["Dropped frames" are due to network only, you need to go to View → Stats to see skipped frames, @handmade_hero]
[1:37:13][@futuremillennium][The game is probably fighting OBS for the GPU]
[1:39:33][@ormone88][Q: I read a twitter conversation from an engine programmer at id software, about the engine for the new Doom game not having a main thread or render thread, only tasks and queues. Could you comment on this architecture?][:threading]
[1:41:03][@vaualbus][Q: I think that is a twitch problem on the servers because [@naysayer88 Jon] on his stream got the same problem where the frame rate on the game gets lower while streaming, and only on twitch it looks laggy. So maybe backend stuff on twitch]
[1:45:40][@internationalizationist][Q: You once mentioned that there are two types of GPU: tiled and non tiled, and mobiles use the tiled method. But why? What are the benefits for mobiles of using it?][:caching :hardware :rendering]
[1:51:36][@jessem3y3r][Q: [@rygorous Fabian] recently described GPUs as possessing throughput caches as opposed to latency caches. How does a throughput cache operate differently than a latency cache?][:caching :hardware :rendering]
[1:56:02][@internationalizationist][Q: But why are desktops using non-tiled method then? It looks like a clear benefit, including the fact that there are lots of units nowadays][:caching :hardware :rendering]
[1:58:38][@euphius][Q: The new COD Battle Royale installs a shader for better game performance when being in the game. I thought shaders are "GPU programs". Can you imagine what might be behind that? It takes quite a while to install][:hardware :language]
[2:01:18][@vaualbus][Q: But on OpenGL I think there is now a way to compile the shader and read it back?][:hardware :language]
[2:03:45][@teamrandb][Q: Pardon me for I did not catch the end of the stream; but, what frame rate (time per frame) are we at now? I believe at the start we were at roughly 60 ms][:performance]
[2:03:51][68ms per frame][:performance :run]
[2:05:02][Decrease the LIGHT_LOOKUP_VOXEL_DIM_X and Y from 32 / 24 to 24 / 16 respectively][:lighting]
[2:05:27][Check out the :lighting][:run]
[2:05:37][Make BeginLightingComputation() offset the light voxel two cells into the distance][:lighting]
[2:06:03][33ms per frame][:lighting :performance :run]
[2:07:14][@internationalizationist][Q: Could you recommend some literature / resources etc. to dig deeper?][:caching :hardware :rendering]
[2:07:24][@vaualbus][Q: So could it be easier to not have this dimension in a define? So that maybe the world gen can produce per-room voxel dim? That would result in optimized light system in general, I guess?][:lighting]
[2:07:39][@philoez98][Q: What do you think about the new kind of pipeline that NVIDIA is pushing with mesh and task shaders?]
[2:08:01][@teamrandb][Q: If we had a major light source from behind and we had, say, a large tree / house behind us, if this light box is too small, would it mean we would not get the shadow of whatever is behind us?][:lighting]
[2:09:18][@czapa10][Q: Is it possible to make these 2D trees cast shadows in the shape of a tree on the ground? If yes, can you tell what keyword should I write in google to find out more about that? I wanna use it in my own 2D game][:lighting]
[2:11:08][@relvet][Q: Would solving the :lighting wrapping in X reduce CPU load to significant extent?][:performance]
[2:11:20][@socraticfallacy][Q: Would you consider using compute shaders for some of these :lighting calculations?]
