My company name and domain is now immortalised in the SPIR-V xml, got id 45 for my SPIRV generator

Attaching this screenshot of a game engine's third-party dependencies. Engines are complex as hell. How far are you willing to go to *consistently* avoid all code/assets that AI has "touched"? Find a method that goes beyond following the latest Bsky news.

I should write a compiler that targets spirv (I have no free time and plenty of unfinished projects, but surely this will be ok)

turns out spirv-cross finally has mesh shader support for metal!! merged in late October last year.

Also planning to add GLSL + SPIRV shader support to our Media Integration Layer implementation.

Working on a D3D12 app for studying implementations of upscalers, AA, frame gen, presentation models, or anything else that can affect image clarity. Got a bit side tracked with adding a shadertoy input mode (GLSL -> SPIRV -> DXIL cross-compile chain). Will also add an OpenUSD viewer.

I still find Visual Studio a good editor for writing my shaders. It’s like coding in C# with all the bells and whistles of the editor features. No! I don't like dark mode😊

My Fable project has been a compiler for HLSL's C-like subset, plus newer SPIRV features. SK's current compiler is glslang+spirv-opt based, and this new one is a 20x smaller binary, compiles 72x faster, compiles shaders 3x faster, and produces equivalent ISA.

Metal: Ensure position invariance is captured from SPIRV-Cross by stuartcarnie · Pull Request #99261 · godotengine/godot
Closes #99029
This PR ensures that position invariance is captured from SPIRV-Cross and subsequently used as a compilation option to the Metal shader compiler.

I think I want to redesign Open-World-Builder from scratch. My goals:
1.) Rebuild with SDL3 GPU functions.
2.) Allow custom lighting models via SPIRV shaders
3.) Incorporate JS scripting for plugins to add custom entity types, tool windows, etc.

Last I checked, Molten could not consume MSL, so we take the Slang -> SPIR-V -> MolvenVK (spirv-cross -> MSL) path.
It was mostly about the binding model - Slang's explicit `ParameterBlock` construct is pretty handy for that without having to pre-declare explicit numerical bindings ahead of time.

so fun fact, slang doesn't *strictly* support opengl-flavour GLSL, so I now have an extra layer where i take slang spirv and pass it through spirv-cross to remap bindings and generate opengl compatible glsl lol
honestly been really fun writing a full on graphics library though!

furthermore wined3d with gl backend now drops me to 2 FPS (known issue)
using the vulkan backend instead means that some tessellation features are missing (TODO in dxbc to spirv translation, also known issue) and that qrenderdoc.exe shows depth buffers with artifacts

Well it took a bit longer to sort out that last issue, but we have a working MSL backend for XenosRecomp!
All 1,368 shaders in Unleashed now successfully compile to DXIL, SPIRV, and Metal AIR.
One step closer to Unleashed running natively on Metal 🎉
