They usually do that with sloppy hacks calling assembler code directly to manipulate the registers smarter than compiler would

That was mandatory in the old days to get decent graphics

anything interracial seems so unnatural and repulsive to me

seems like a fetish to me

well, it depends, some people do push the boudaries though,
but it's probably people working either for Nvidia, who look for workaround algorithms to speed things up,
or it could be someone working at Unity who is find some new funky way of doing raytracing..

i dont think they're pushing any boundaries. games are getting better cause the hardware people are making better chips

Algorithms are a type of math

No one can deny dudes like Knuth are gods

but it's rarely someone at Electronic Arts that will come up with some new math wiz kind of algo

Because most game devs are actually the lowest tier of coders

EA treats game devs like shit

yeah

95% of game devs have no idea how quaternions work. and probably not even matrices.

i almost got a job at nvidia

they just use them as black boxes

there was a black guy in the interview that I didn't mesh well with

Ehh I saw references to quaternions in some game code and it made me happy

expendable, like tissues,
when one doesn't workout anymore,
just throw it away and a new one pops up

I forget which game it was now

they use them for sure. but they dont know how they work trust me lol

You don’t wanna get gimbal lock do you glamp

gimbal lock aint real

Quarternions are so much better than SO3

its a miss application of rotation theory

It’s real

Gimbal lock is an inside job

It’s interesting how you can’t keep extending quaternions

You get octonions but that’s it

Or dual quaternions

And all that is so closely related to Clifford algebras and spin/relativity

they use implementation hacks

Guys

The UK's election results are in

Once, I was working on an IMU fusing data from 3 inertial sensors to find the orientation of a camera I was working on
and the easiest was to convert orientation coordinates into Quaternions to obtain the true orientation of the camera was pointing in, in real time

when are they really in?

Nerthulas only likes Jeb! memes because he sees himself in Jeb

Also I have shaved and I look good

time to put on anime costume

Lmao
