Bokeh
|
This is the result of this thread on bokeh. It's a small demo featuring DOF with Bokeh, SSAO, Bloom and inferred (half-res LPP) lighting.
The bokeh effect was inspired by lost planet, the details of the implementation are in the linked thread... |

CVs vs Resumes
|
In Australia, I've always used a Resume when applying for jobs.
In my experience, this is expected to be brief and to the point - preferably one page, and no more than two - quickly covering your experience and skill-set.
I'm pretty sure thi... |

_SECURE_SCL woes
|
I thought I knew how to turn off MSVC's _SECURE_SCL feature, but it's causing me headaches still :(
I have some code that boils down to the following, and it mysteriously crashes on the line marked below...std::vector<uint> vec1, vec2,... |

Krome studios was one of the largest independent devleopers in the world recently, with over 400 staff. Since then they've gone through quite a few rounds of layoffs, bringing them down to ~250... |

Real-time lens blur

[EDIT] I've revised this a lot since this original post - scroll down to the post with the larger JPEG for the final algorithm.

My wallet is in the future.
|
When did this happen?
I leave work at night. It's after office hours so the building has magnetically locked it's doors. I tap my wallet against a sensor to ask it to unlock long enough for me to leave.
As I board the tram, I tap my wallet ... |

Fear of auto word wrap?

How come when some people post on forums, they press enter when the text reaches the edge of the editing box? It's actually quite common, for what seems like a behaviour associated with the mechanical typewriter.

std::type_info and references
|
I've just noticed that (at least on MSVC9) type_info structures for reference types are the same as their non-reference counterparts. In other words:{
assert( typeid(int) != typeid(int*) )//PASS
assert( typeid(int) != typeid(int&) )//FAI... |

Win7 Explorer + Backspace
|
On XP's windows explorer, backspace was the keyboard shortcut for going 'up' one directory. Now on Win7 it's the shortcut for going 'back' one directory (or 'forward' if it can't go back).
Is there any way to change what backspace d... |

Which modeling software should I use?

There's big name companies on each side of the fence.

Asynchronous Scripting

Lua is single-threaded, it executes in the same thread as your C code. C can call Lua functions, and Lua can call C functions. So in that respect, Lua code will execute in the same way as your C code does.
If you want to write scripts in the s... |

Bitfields and Endianness

Quote:Original post by David Neubelt
Why would a compiler choose to have the bits reversed? It doesn't seem any more efficient on a big endian platform versus a little endian architecture. I can see the instructions the assembly generates and I... |

Proper profiling of opengl + GLSL

I saw gDEBugger now has a free license, and tried it out. Its useful, but nowhere near as much as a frame capture in a professional tool.^^ |

Programming changed? Forever?

You can program with enum{True,False,FileNotFound} if you want to... Computers are built in base-2 only because it's usually more cost efficient. Current languages could be compiled for a base-3 computer.
Earlier computers used many different... |

Need for CPU (vs just compiler) barriers on x86(-64)

On MSVC, volatile only prohibits the compiler from reordering the volatile read/write with regards to other volatile variable, or to global variables.
If you write data to a member, and then publish it by setting a volatile flag, the compiler... |

Signed distance field rendering (Blending question)

No, but alpha-blended objects do need to be drawn sorted from furthest-from-the-camera to closest-to-the-camera. |
