- Developer samehkhamis shared new progress on SDF modeling with Astra in Reveries: hair/fur, materials, GGX lighting, HDR environments, reflections, indirect lighting and GI, with a few bugs remaining.
- The engine is written from scratch in C++/Vulkan, while scenes are auto-generated by Astra using embedded Python — a notable example of AI-assisted graphics engineering workflows.
