It seems that #Vulkan could be the real alternative for using #AI on GPUs or CPUs of any brand, without necessarily having to rely on #CUDA or #AMD's #ROCm. I thought #SYCL was the alternative. This might finally free us from of monopoly #Nvidia.
#Khronos

Does anyone know if UE5's support for gltf's KHR_mesh_quantization will result in smaller vertices at runtime or is it just import support?

I don't believe it will to lead to anything.

but

I am going to submit a 'New Initiative Proposal' to the Khronos group.

(Once I polish the wording a bit more.)

DirectX is adopting SPIR-V

Yeah. I have a question.

Why is my data format a programming language now?

Maybe the real scientific, technological progress is the friends we make meme'ing about things like this.

These are my simple test, from left top to right down the image are with color tone mapping: Standard, #Khronos, #AgX, and #Filmic.

I would say that this new color system is the one I prefer, it works very well for what I need and for now it is better than the other two, #Filmic and #AgX. #tone #mapping #Khronos #PBR Neutral #tone mapper. #b3d #Blender #Blender3D

For the record, this is one idiot techbro *assumption* without a shred of research.

It’s a false assumption, for anyone who actually reads research or does their homework.

Shame on Khronos for propagating random techbro opinion, but we should expect nothing less.

GLTF 2.0 Is Broken - So I Made A Better 3D File-Format!

https://youtu.be/cgY-faQrv78

A 10-minute video presentation about how I created a prototype file-format simpler and more capable than glTF!

It's called STF - Scene Transfer Format.
Designed to easily support rapidly prototyping extensions to represent fully featured VR & V-Tubing avatars!

The #SPIR-V 1.6, Revision 3 specification is now available.

I will not join Siggraph this year.

But ... some of my work will.
Blender is a major open source software to create glTF assets, using Blender-glTF-IO addon, shipped with Blender.

I maintain & develop it.

In slight need of spec/language lawyers: Reading this line ( https://registry.khronos.org/OpenCL/specs/3.0-unified/html/OpenCL_API.html#CL_DEVICE_MAX_MEM_ALLOC_SIZE), do you think:
A: that the minimum allocation of the max mem allocation flag is 1:4?
B: that the max allocation must be max(min(1024 × 1024 × 1024, 1/4th of CL_DEVICE_GLOBAL_MEM_SIZE), 32 × 1024 × 1024)

in other words, given a 16GB card, should the maximum allocation be 4GB, or should the minimum of the max allocation be 4GB?

#Introduction / #NewHere: My wandering career has led me to Google, where I own #modelviewer, your #opensource #web library to put #3D on your page with just a line of HTML, in photorealistic #PBR.

I also work standards on #glTF with #Khronos, and long ago with #3MF.

My side project is #Manifold, an open source #geometry kernel which I believe is the first to guarantee manifold mesh output. Test it out at https://manifoldcad.org/

Summary of my anger toward #Khronos software management in one command line:

% pacman -Ql glslang | grep -oE '[^/]+\.(so|a)$'
libGenericCodeGen.a
libHLSL.a
libHLSL.so
libMachineIndependent.a
libOGLCompiler.a
libOSDependent.a
libSPIRV.a
libSPIRV.so
libSPVRemapper.a
libSPVRemapper.so
libglslang-default-resource-limits.a
libglslang-default-resource-limits.so
libglslang.a
libglslang.so

Don't expect pc files associated. Some are even just mandatory stub libs.

Libs detection is overall a nightmare.

Khronos Finalizes Vulkan Video Extensions for Accelerated H.264 and H.265 Decode

#introduction

I'm a #Linux graphics driver developer who works across the stack. I've done a bit of kernel hacking but am mostly focused on #Mesa3D userspace drivers and the #Vulkan API. I'm also part of the #Khronos working group that defines the Vulkan API.

I'm currently developing a brand new open-source Vulkan driver for NVIDIA hardware called NVK: https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/news-and-events/introducing-nvk.html

I post about my work and various other graphics topics and try to help demystify graphics hardware and drivers.
