Cant believe i dedicated the nightmare of a time it took to properly learn rendergraph just to eventually switch to Godot.

Putting this out here so it stops swirling in my noggin:
I'm thinking of setting up some sort of course (in both live and pre-recorded formats) to help devs familiar with coding and some 3D concepts get into technical art, covering stuff from simple shaders to more advanced effects with RenderGraph

I'm adding live-rendergraph reflection to Island: the engine should be able to visualize it's own rendergraph -- all passes and resources that contribute to the final image.
It's coming together nicely ...

i am so close to being done now though. and this project contains everything ive learned, and will let me almost fully automate resource creation (like literally allocate most buffers from reflection data), and make my rendergraph so much more expressive. it's awesome. but it is consuming me.

the rendergraph API for Unity SRP is thoughtfully designed, straightforward to use yet also permits super granular control over the injection into the render loop to the power user. it is actually better than BIRP's equivalent systems. fuck me i cant believe im praising URP shit

It's 3:45am and I can't sleep ( because I ate too much chocolate yesterday and I feel like running around, ) so now's as good a time as any to look into Unity's Rendergraph !

Spent half of yesterday trying to figure out how to render particles at half-resolution to little success. I know this is a thing that is possible with RenderGraph and whatnot, but I couldn't figure it out. Making matters worse, everything changed in 6.3, so almost all examples are obsolete.
