I think I should probably add a denoiser to this…
Added some targeted calls to the hardware raytracing APIs, and a toggle switch so I can flip between non-accelerated RT and accelerated RT. There are plenty of bottlenecks in my renderer to stop it taking /full/ advantage of acceleration, but holy heck it’s much faster regardless. This is on the M5 iPad Pro

Turns out the M1 supports enough of the hardware accelerated raytracing APIs that I get a massive speedup here, too?
Trying to parse Apple's Metal feature support tables is hurting my brain, so I'll just accept it and move on

@stroughtonsmith funny thing is. They say , our jobs will be over with vibe-coding. But I don't see everyone creating apps now. Just because there are good tools, doesn't make everyone a carpenter..

@stroughtonsmith Quick reminder, you’ve been working on this app for months, right? Months? For some reason I was under the impression that you’ve been working on this for hours, but that can’t be right.

@TheEjj if by months you mean 'an evening'. I spent most of today rendering with it and not doing any actual development

@stroughtonsmith Watching the progress of this app over the past day has been incredible.

Not me offloading raytracing workloads to my iPad because it's so much faster than my Mac…

@stroughtonsmith That sounds like a handy handoff feature for those with older Macs but newer iPad/iPhone.

@stroughtonsmith is that all mostly vibecoded ?
