v5.0 was the last Amiga version, after that they moved on.

Sometimes, you just want to push that old piece of software to the limits, and beyond...

This is from that same old 1990s-era Lightwave 3D 5.0, on the #Amiga (which a bit of modern plugin magic on top)

Current mode: #Amiga hardware debugging

amiga-lw-plugin v0.7.0 is out for LightWave 5.x on AmigaOS: Fresnel/PBR scene-save fixes, LensFlare now supports up to 50 flare sources, and ObjSwap is faster on large sets. Before/after renders below.

Scanline support for the ZZ9000 is done

Oh interesting - got a link to the server? Does it need an invite?

Working on the #ZZ9000 #Amiga #RTG card next. Time to optimize that performance a bit, since there hasn't been any new firmware or driver updates in quite a while!

I’ve released LightWave 3D 5.x plugins for AmigaOS: ObjSwap, Fresnel, PBR-lite shading, and LensFlare, built with a GCC m68k-AmigaOS toolchain.

Latest v0.6.7 improves LensFlare for dense specular/reflection scenes.

I sat down with a friend today, and we decided to have an Amiga hackathon day. A few hours later, a new Lightwave 5.x plugin was born: github.com/midwan/amiga...

great work, as always!

Release Amiberry v8.1.0 · BlitterStudio/amiberry New Features Multi-monitor RTG rendering — RTG screens can now display on a separate physical monitor. Per-monitor renderer and surface lifecycle, window placement on configured display, and touch...

#Amiga

Also included in the next #Amiberry update: Native filesystem dialogs, where possible (with fallback to the current internal one).

Who wants to play Lemmings with 2-players?

#Amiberry just got support for multiple mice, on Linux and Windows (macOS doesn't support things unfortunately).

This will be part of the upcoming v8.0.1 release, coming soon!

Did you know that #Amiberry now supports shaders and custom bezels?

Done! Sorry, I wasn't sure which one is the "right" one :D

For the new #Amiberry GUI, I needed a lightweight, efficient and flexible library that would be easily portable. Dear Imgui worked perfectly for this! I added a theme that resembles that AmigaOS retro feeling and colors. And even a Dark theme option is there!

@ocornut.bsky.social

Will do! No modification to the imgui sources themselves, I keep those up to date with newer versions as they come along. Just some theme code added on top.

Flatpak package out now.
Homebrew package needs a change in Homebrew, since we now have a Universal binary and not two separate ones per arch. Coming ASAP.

Amiberry v8.0.0 is here! MiDWaN published a post on Ko-fi

#Amiberry v8.0.0 is out! 400+ changes:

SDL3 migration, Windows/Android/Haiku support, auto-updater, Linux package repos, JIT on ARM64+x86-64, OpenGL CRT shaders, networking rewrite, SIMD display pipeline, Libretro core, ImGui GUI.

Full details: ko-fi.com/post/Amiberr...

Almost done with the changes for the upcoming #Amiberry v8 release. I'm considering also merging the upgrade to SDL3 in there, so far I haven't noticed any regressions with it.

Meanwhile, how about some SIMD optimizations to sweeten the deal? :)
