In a recent update, Diligent Engine now gives applications direct control of state transitions in Vulkan API and DirectX12. Diligent Engine includes support for Vulkan and OpenGL 4.2 on Win32 and Linux, as well as OpenGL ES 3.0 on iOS and OpenGL 4.1 on macOS.
The Khronos Group is looking for feedback on the latest draft of the KTX2 texture file format specification. Please review and comment on GitHub.
Students of Patrick Cozzi, glTF Working Group Chair, in the GPU course at University of Pennsylvania will be live streamed Monday, December 10, at 6pm EST. The students have built final projects with everything from WebGL to Vulkan to CUDA to DXR - ranging from photon mappers to water sims to feature detection algorithms. Many of the projects use glTF for models.
The Khronos Group was in Japan this week for SIGGRAPH Asia 2018. There were five BOF sessions covering Vulkan, OpenXR, WebGL, glTF, NNEF, OpenVX and OpenCL. Most of the presentations from these sessions is now online and we have lots of photos as well. Unfortunately not video this year.
Ventuz has released a white paper detailing why they are support glTF 2.0. With Ventuz release 6.1, they have implemented a glTF importer, and with 6.2 we have added full support of glTF animations. Why are we embracing the new file format? Download the whitepaper to find out! Free registration is required.
AImotive has released its aiSim2 simulator to significantly upgrade the speed and quality of testing and validating self-driving solutions. aiSim2 is the next generation of the award-winning aiSim1, powered by a purpose-built engine that ensures a high level of physical realism, deterministic running alongside optimized hardware utilization and flexibility. aiSim2 is built on AImotive’s experience developing aiDrive, a full stack self-driving software solution. The new simulator offers flexibility and scalability by being hardware agnostic, utilizing The Khronos Group’s Vulkan API to maximize portability and flexibility to enable efficient execution on a wide range of single and multi-GPU system configurations.
