Code inspiration and rendering resource

This is not inspiration... this is mockery! http://delacian.tumblr.com/
FFS look at all that

Just a thought but Ysaneya, who wrote the Infinity engine used to post on GameDev.net in his Journal.

There's a wealth of technical detial in those posts even though many of the images have been lost over time.

Brilliant collection of examples for OpenGL for 3.2 through to 5.0!!!

and for Vulkan there's

I didn't know Doom's art originated from 3D clay models:

Impaktor: Neither did I! That's pretty cool :)

Data Visualisation, for Impaktor :)

[impaktor]

Thanks. I saw your link on IRC, but was away from keyboard.

Yet I've rarely seen people dumping data from programs into graphing software and I've rarely seen programmers that actually know the science of data visualization.

So I am special? :)

What was new to me was the visualization of binary files. Not something I will use, but neat. Almost looks like "TV-hacking" ("CSI/NCIS/Bones") with flashy shiny stuff.

This one is for Andy, although I haven't read the full article it does look like it might be of some potential interest.

On rendering a frame in (new) Doom, using OpenGL and Vulkan:

I am not sure whether this belong in art or code... code I think since it is code about art...

Regardless here is SynTex (https://github.com/mxgmn/SynTex) for Synthetic Textures you supply artist generated textures and then it somehow generates unique variations on them but with seemingly cohesive visual features.

They seem to have used a lot of low-res pixellated textures for their examples so I wonder how well it scales, and how fast it is, but it might be interesting for unique terrain textures.
