Just added HDRI dome rendering on #Degine, my solo #3D game engine project in OpenGL. Lets the skybox have a "fake" floor, typically used for quick renders in #Blender but may actually just roll with this for the game.
so got the stereoscopic #3d rendering basically done on my opengl engine #degine. all the ui, including imgui, outputs in sbs #stereo3d. still some work left on the level editing tools (mouse picking is a bit difficult rn) but perf is good, only 20% hit versus 2d.
so got #stereo3d rendering working again on #degine, my custom opengl game engine. running it on desktop right now, but looking to get intel arc support for the new "glasses free" #3D handheld outta china.
finished up the hair rendering on #degine, using the old 2015 morgan mcguire method, "weighted, blended order-independent transparency". what i did new here is combine it with 1-bit transparency (alpha mask) so the fully opaque areas still work with the standard pipeline and post-processing
new transparency rendering on #degine which combines mask and order-independent blend modes, to get best of both worlds. mask (aka 1-bit alpha) is used for the fully opaque parts of the texture, and wboit is done on the edges to give it a smooth blend.
fixing up the transparent pipeline on #degine so the hair looks a bit more solid. ended up just combining mask and blend alpha together, since wasn't having luck tweaking wboit for hair
just got a new cyberpunk-themed demo scene for #degine, my custom #opengl #3d engine. looking to release later this year #opensource. made this so i can put on the website and show at #gdc2026
Just got the first developer vlog of '26 up for my @khronos-opengl.bsky.social based #3D game engine #Degine. Showcases improvement on the UI and more realistic #photogrammetry assets with a soundtrack from #Suno. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4Cb...
just got id mask tinting on the engine, for customizing make-up and clothing colors for the character. also shows (hopefully) final transparent hair rendering. #degine
Got a new asset for testing the shadows and SSGI in my @OpenGL project #Degine. Ended up looking way nicer than I expected, right out-the-box. Still lots of boring stuff to finish to get the #3D engine finished, but graphics are at least where I wanted.
got my linux box working again. had to reinstall ubuntu after the ssd died. got a new environment render in #degine with one of the props from the game.
got the rendering (I hope) fixed on #degine. spent the past month verifying all the #opengl shaders and found a ton of bugs. this should be how the character is supposed to look. need to complete the editor features next so i can actually start working on the game.
Working more on the transparency for the hair (WBOIT) and seems to be at a good place. Feel like the color looks a bit different than before, so may still need some tweaking. #Degine

somehow fixed this lighting bug with the transparency on my engine, totally by accident, which makes the hair integrate with the scene better. still has a few issues I need to fix, but looks a lot better than previous. #degine
