RayTracingInVulkan VS LearnOpenGL

on raw tests AMDVLK is about 100% faster than RADV like this one

This Vulkan RayTracing Test also only runs with AMDVLK

I did some more testing in regards to raytracing on Linux/Vulkan and could get this benchmark to run (albeit horribly slow) with the Arc 750

Oh sorry. That's nice! The only RT stuff that worked nicely for me (except FPS, offcourse) was this: https://github.com/GPSnoopy/RayTracingInVulkan

Have you tried testing it? Here is a benchmark someone created.

Reminds me of this bug caused by missing "non-uniform" hints: https://github.com/GPSnoopy/RayTracingInVulkan/issues/36

The man himself admitted he started celebrating way too early. Just look at the github issue: https://github.com/GPSnoopy/RayTracingInVulkan/issues/28

With xbox and PS5 using AMDs ray tracing architecture, it would be dumb for devs to not optimize for AMD. 22% improvement with basically a code line swap. https://github.com/GPSnoopy/RayTracingInVulkan/issues/28#issuecomment-792966138

I want to begin game development as a hobby, but I'm unsure where to start. I did follow through https://learnopengl.com/ a few years ago, and while it was a very interesting experience, I imagine I would need to use an existing engine to be productive.

Do you recommend any books and tutorials aimed at experienced programmers with 0 knowledge of game development/design?

- Game development - Unity3D project based learning in C#: https://learn.unity.com/ - Graphics - There was another user on r/GraphicsProgramming the other day (who teaches Computer Graphics at his university) that linked their lecture series for the entry year of their course here: https://tamats.com/learn/realtime-graphics/ - Project based learning: https://github.com/ssloy/tinyrenderer/wiki - Rendering API tutorials: https://vulkan-tutorial.com/, https://learnopengl.com/

If u want to make 3D game, you'll probably want to learn some 3D shader graphic stuff. OpenGL is a good start. https://learnopengl.com

LearnOpenGl.com

Possibly a smidge outdated.

Goes from blank window to rendering 3d meshes with advanced lighting techniques (HDR, SSAO and more).

Heped me understand shader pipeline, so I recommend it.

I'm reading the guest article about frustum culling on learnopengl.com and there's a video demonstrating how it works and for debug purposes they have a bunch of spheres turning red or green which I assume means they're being culled or not so my question is if I wanted to do this do I have to make a mesh for whatever bounding volume shape or is there a specific method for something like this?
