@Gargaj Alright, I got it from the
main.cpp, so in the mac release it should be in ./Bonzomatic.app/Contents/MacOS/ folder, that is why it wasn't available for me at first. Thanks guys. Any help with the vulkansdk and the build processes?
isnt that just something underneath glfw?
we dont have an ACTUAL vulkan backend (yet, anyway)
Ive never ticked it
Vulkan is one of those things which it most likely going to be important to learn eventually but I've just been sticking with OpenGL for now
Does Vulkan have its own shading language or does it use GLSL?
it's very glsl-like tho
that's osx so my hands are clean about that
Not sure if theres enough demand for a Metal version of Bonzomatic though
Metal looks great, performs great... but only being on Mac makes it meg
meh*
I hate how Apple officially deprecated OpenGL so that might affect Bonzomatic in the next release of macOS
even if you write a metal backend, youd still need the competition contestant to code in metal
but to be fair its very close to GLSL anyway so shouldnt be a problem
apple designed metal to be as close to OpenGL as possible to ease the transition
@Gargaj while I'm here I might as well ask the question. Do you think that Bonzomatic would have any use ported to Nintendo Switch? You can now use USB keyboards and mice on switch and I've already ported a game to it and I've also ported a very light shader program to it which is pretty much bonzomatic minus the GUI (just renders the shader file in the directory). I could totally port Bonzomatic to Switch but I'm not sure if it would be worth it
I'd totally use it but not sure if anyone else woule
would
even if not as an official port
but feel free to do a fork
so
not natively, but of course you're welcome to add support for it
i cant think of very simple video decoding libraries that are easy to integrate
However this does not seem to work. I'm not sure if it is coming from the preview sampling the result of my pixel shader (which maybe itself is sampling correctly) or it is my SamplerState which is wrong. FYI the code compiles.
i.e. the sampler states have to come from the C++ code
hum. I'll try to find them in the CPP. maybe I can do a quick hack to have it work
thanks
sampDesc.Filter = D3D11_FILTER_MIN_MAG_LINEAR_MIP_POINT;
Not sure I can send My code here but here is the gist of it :
SamplerState NearestSMP {
Filter = D3D11_FILTER_MIN_MAG_MIP_POINT;
AddressU = Wrap;
AddressV = Wrap;
};
Then :
float3 map = ColorMap.Sample( NearestSMP, uv);
Result is "Blurry" while I expected Sharp. I'm trying to do a ColorMask with Linear Sampling that gives a 0-8 index into a ColorMap 16x16px that contains 2x16 Palettes of 8 Colors. And this one, the palette map, needs to be sampled precisely.
