A library that I work on often these days, meshoptimizer, has changed over time to use fewer and fewer C++ library features, up until the current state where the code closely resembles C even though it uses some C++ features. There have been many reasons behind the changes - dropping C++11 requirement allowed me to make sure anybody can compile the library on any platform, removing std::vector substantially improved performance of unoptimized builds, removing algorithm includes sped up compil...| zeux.io
I have been working a lot on vertex cache optimization lately, exploring several algorithms from multiple axes - optimization performance, optimization efficiency, corner cases and the like. While doing so, I’ve implemented a program to verify that the algorithms actually produce results beneficial for real hardware - and today we will discuss one such algorithm, namely “Optimal Grid Rendering”.| zeux.io
