Quote:
Changing Materials the GCN Way
DX and GL are years behind in API design compared to what is possible on GCN. For instance there is no need for the CPU to do any binding for a traditional material system with unique shaders/textures/samplers/buffers associated with geometry. Going to the metal on GCN, it would be trivial to pass a 32-bit index from the vertex shader to the pixel shader, then use the 32-bit index and S_BUFFER_LOAD_DWORDX16 to get constants, samplers, textures, buffers, and shaders associated with the material. Do a S_SETPC to branch to the proper shader.
This kind of system would use a set of uber-shaders grouped by material shader register usage. So all objects sharing a given uber-shader can get drawn in say one draw call (draw as many views as you have GPU perf for). No need for traditional vertex attributes either, again just one S_SETPC branch in the vertex shader and manually fetch what is needed from buffers or textures...

If you can play AGA demos of 2000s on an emulator on the A1222 then it's nice and quite fast machine. (AGA demos don't use FPU most likely, but still.) _________________ Rock lobster bit me.

Nice read as always, thanks, although two things for your information:
1. Gremlin was never released an AGA version of Disposable Hero. This one probably you tried is a CD32 rip, but again the CD32 version as far as I remember has the same graphics with the floppy version.
2. Deluxe Paint V was not AGA only, but AGA chipset was required if you wanted to use the enhanced modes. _________________

| Hi All,
I attended the Adelaide Retro Computing Group monthly meeting last night which had a Vintage Apple theme and it was a lot of fun. There was plenty other equipment displayed too, including Amigas, Amstrad, Vic 20, MIST MiniMIG AGA and more.
I wrote a blog entry with lots of photos and information from the event.
http://amigax1000.blogspot.com.au/2016/03/adelaide-retro-computing-meeting-march.html
I hope you enjoy it! I can't wait for the next meeting!
Catcha, Epsilon

Thanks for report and pictures! I was always fan of MacOS Classic visual appearance, OS X is too modern for my taste.  |
