[1:50:57][Q&A][:speech]
[1:52:40][@zilarrezko][Q: Is that... color banding I see? I hope that's just from being on-stream][:rendering]
[1:54:40][@jakkzera][Q: What do you think of game development frameworks like unity? Do you think an AAA game can be made using it?][:"game engine"]
[1:56:02][@bigmofo1][Q: Why can't sampling rays be evenly distributed to eliminate the flickering? Wouldn't it be fine with enough rays?][:lighting :rendering]
[1:56:18][Distribution of Rays][:blackboard :lighting :rendering]
[1:57:32][@azmreece][Q: I've been watching a fair bit of the backlog, and you seem to return values from functions via parameter pointers, even when you're not returning anything else (i.e. `void Func(int Arg, int *Return)` instead of `int Func(int Arg`)). Is there any particular reason behind this? I can imagine it maybe stops the API changing too much over time?]
[1:58:30][@longboolean][Q: Are there any light effects that you can think of where assuming bidirectional ray sampling would give janky results? Maybe subsurface scattering?][:lighting :rendering]
[2:00:13][@bigmofo1][Q: But if the rays are the same across frames, the flickering would only happen around moving objects? Would that be less offensive during gameplay?][:lighting :rendering]
[2:01:10][Stratified sampling][:blackboard :lighting :rendering]
[2:02:45][@vateferfout][Q: Would it be possible to cast cones instead of rays?][:lighting :rendering]
[2:04:01][@lkalinovcic][Q: Do you currently do any form of ambient occlusion?][:lighting :rendering]
[2:04:55][@gureitoro][Q: So you could use a blue noise-like source to select possible "cones" and shoot random rays inside each of these cones?][:lighting :rendering]
[2:05:23][@dragoonx6][Q: What do you think about buying an IP that is practically abandoned by the publisher / developer? For a game that has about 100 players online at maximum? This is an online game]
[2:05:34][@pileopoop][Q: How much does each new light in the scene reduce :performance?][:lighting :rendering]
[2:06:01][@gg_nate][Q: (Off-topic) Do you feel like you still have the same passion for this project as you did back when you first began, or do some days feel more like it's a chore?]
[2:07:14][@zilarrezko][Q: I'm sure it's been asked before, and maybe to some extent like reflections AAA games do this, but are ray casters / tracers really such a :performance hit that they aren't used on more complex set of geometry in games like Call of Dooters or just in general games with lots of geometry][:lighting :rendering]
[2:10:38][@lkalinovcic][Q: Do you have any good sources for learning about making :lighting solutions?][:rendering]
[2:10:59][@vaualbus][Q: Our light is not getting, at least on the light propagation, more close to PBR schema? How would we implement fog in this system? Can we simulate different media through which the light propagates?][:lighting :rendering]
[2:13:10][That's about it][:speech]
