If you want to learn more about the GPU-driven rendering tech that we built for #AlanWake2 there's now a video recording of the talk that I did earlier this year at Digital Dragons:

I'll be at this year's Digital Dragons giving a talk about mesh shaders and the GPU-driven rendering pipeline that powers Alan Wake 2! Lots of interesting low-level optimizations and data on how mesh shaders perform on a shipped title! See you there! 👋

It turns out that rolling your own per-triangle culling in a mesh shader can be a good idea... There's usually spare ALU (even on the consoles) and the cost of export is so long in comparison that it can be a big win. Reminds me of the golden days of doing software rasterization!

"Principles of Digital Image Synthesis" by @AndrewGlassner has to be one of the most amazingly complete books I've read on rendering so far.
