took a bit of doing but now i have a single header library where i can customize my triangle fill routine for different vertex attributes. in debug mode it uses a single triFill function with function pointers so there's no weirdness going on, and when optimized it includes the triFill function multiple times with different names and calls the helper functions directly by name so they get inlined*
*i checked the assembly to make sure
this is what the implementation for a vertex format looks like
InitGrads converts from the data to float (it's already float here),
GetPixel is the fragment shader
the TRI_STEP_COLOR_GRADS functions are there so i can use a compile time constant for the gradient loops so they get unrolled
and the rest is just injecting the triFill routine (if necessary) and creating a wrapper that calls it or the generic triFill with function pointers
not the prettiest but its C so it could be a lot worse

debug rendering tiles that are skipped because they're known to be blank

tfw the nested 8 count loops unroll perfectly 😌

@eniko I can see the clean code take on this now. ZOMG, that should be a function call!

wake up babe hierarchical tiled triangle rasterizer just dropped
each meta tile is 4x4 tiles which are 8x8 pixels. magenta and red tiles are blank meta and normal tiles, white and cyan are fully covered meta and normal tiles

now i need to convert it from floating point to fixed point and i'll be mostly done with the optimizing stage. then i'll add some different rendering options (it just does flat and gouraud atm) and put it on github

@eniko every time I start a game project (and never finish) I think about: what if it was software rasterized?
software rasterization just has something to it.

@bnut the right can be skipped because you know when you've recorded coverage, so once you find a blank tile after you've had any coverage you know there are no more tiles in that row. the only way to do the left would be to iterate backwards and then you'd have the same problem on the right
the other option is to have an edge walking algorithm and that could actually be slower since this just steps through the bounding box in chunks

@bnut you could conceivably do the same thing with the bottom edges but you'd have to step vertically in your inner loops which could trash cache locality

@bnut hm, interesting thought!

@bnut i think the calculations for all the weights/attribute values for each edge tile might still be more expensive than just stepping

@eniko why stop at 4x4? - or rather, why two fixed levels rather than a full quad-tree structure?

@eniko btw, for the corners between tiles, do you test that point 4x per triangle edge (once for each neigboring tile) or can you share the result between tiles?
-
@bnut this isn't lerping anything. it calculates all the stepping increments once up-front and then does addition across the entire bounding box to get the weights and attribute values
i guess maybe you could step them along with the bresenham? 🤔

@nicklockwood you can share the result but i'm not, since calculating the corners is only 3 additions and most of the work is in checking them all together, and sharing the corners is more bookkeeping and would make fully covered tiled a little less common

@eniko is the gourard shading just bilinear interpolation of vertex colors supplied by the caller, or do you actually have a lighting model on top?
And if so, what do you do in flat shading mode if a triangle has different vertex colors?
-
@bnut that could work 🤔
i've done a lot of work on this and am ready to stop though so i'm not gonna try it >_>

#PhysicsFactlet
I haven't made a single scientific animation in months. I just don't have the mental space right now.
But I am preparing a series of lectures on scattering for the Plasmonica 2026 School (https://www.plasmonica.it/2026school/), and it feels like a good excuse to make a few new ones.This one shows a simple finite element simulation of a pulse scattering on a small dielectric obstacle.

Diesel a 1,9/litro. Di sospendere almeno le accise no eh? Figuriamoci, tanto a voi la benzina ve la paghiamo noi ebeti.
Bastardi schifosi.

Ciruzzo 'o Scialatiello preso per il culo dai due comici di regime russi Vovan e Lexus
Vovan Vladimir Kuznetsov e Lexus Alexey Stolyarov si sono presentati in call a Reza Pahlavi come funzionari tedeschi in contatto con il cancelliere Merz.
All'inizio del video uno dei due attori si è presentato come "Adolf" e sfoggiava baffetti finti che ricordavano quelli di Hitler. "Mio nonno conosceva suo padre", ha esorditohttps://tg.la7.it/cronaca/reza-pahlavi-iraniano-scherzo-comici-russi-04-03-2026-253613

@mariosiniscalchi leggevo tempo fa che:
"In un’auto di colore bianco, la temperatura interna può raggiungere dai 25 ai 55°, ma se la carrozzeria è nera, può persino raggiungere i 70° nello stesso lasso di tempo.Â
Dopo i primi 15 minuti, la temperatura continua a salire, ma con una velocità minore, stabilizzandosi intorno ai 60° per un’auto chiara e superando gli 80° per un’auto scura."
