Some transparency testing for #aqui3d:

I promise I haven't stopped working on the #aqui3d renderer!

Between other, non-hobby, work, I've tried getting opacity to render correctly. That's an involved task because the method I'm using requires gpu linked-lists. And, if I do it right, those can be used for more than just transparency!

Mostly worked on architecture changes and pipeline optimizations this weekend, but I did manage to get a nice gradient shader put together.

Now textures can be tinted with solid colors, or up to 25-color gradients; either linear or radial!

After setting up the depth buffer and backface culling, I went ahead and created a couple of new primitive geometries to try them out! Still baby steps, but it's pretty awesome to see a "fully" 3D object in the custom renderer!

Found a few more hours to knock out texturing!
Next up is implementing a depth buffer and sorting the meshes.

This project is amazing and the fact that they're doing matrix math on a GBA cpu while maintaining realtime framerates makes it seem like a zero-gpu js renderer could be feasible. Definitely going to try to add that pipeline for #aqui3d

Not the most impressive use of #webgpu, but after two weeks of parsing together tutorials and explainer videos, it feels great to have a mesh-and-material based renderer that is responding in real time using a real render loop.

Excited to re-implement the camera and then try normal maps! #aqui3d
