Mac (😉) your calendars! We have an exciting week of announcements ahead, starting on Monday morning. Stay tuned…

Metal Shader Converter 2.0 beta 4 is out! This version contains bug fixes and improvements. Download from developer.apple.com/downloads?q=sh… and keep the feedback coming! 📬

Enjoy the beauty of color and light in @Yuri__Mo's gorgeous 3D works. See more: 80.lv/articles/3d-ar… #3D #3dart #digitalart #b3d #blender #blender3d

Metal Shader Converter 2.0 beta 3 is out! This release includes fixes and enhancements to the API, new convenience functions for emulating geometry and tessellation pipelines, and new opportunities to further boost ray tracing performance⚡️ Get it from developer.apple.com/downloads?q=sh…

Nice one. I gave it a try in my renderer too. #rendering #metalrt #usd

Just plugged an iPad Pro into a 49" monitor to try/test @CellWalkApp, haha. This is so cool. This little rendering engine has come so far... 300 million atoms on a 49" monitor using a mobile GPU is crazy. #gamedev #scicomm #ios

@Tim_Rex_ Make sure you're on Xcode 16 (and ideally macOS Sequoia). These are required for HLSL shader debugging.

@graphicsguyale Looks like the same issue occurs with the sample project provided with GamePortingToolkitBeta So I guess this isn't just me doing something wierd

Metal Shader Converter 2.0 beta 2 is out! It includes fixes based on your feedback about root signature deserialization, describing vertex input layouts via JSON, and a small fix configuring tessellation emulation. Download latest from developer.apple.com/downloads?q=sh… and keep it coming!

I was writing some debug code and somehow I ended up writing a hierarchical SDF renderer. I'm getting ~ 1ms on my M1 for a full 5K render but this should be faster on newer MBPs.

@polymonster Thanks for the feedback! We've added a download link to the manual to make it more clear where to download it from: #download-msc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">developer.apple.com/metal/shader-c…

@graphicsguyale I wanted to use this a few weeks ago but was unable to find the download link! I started using DXIL and SPIR-V cross instead, will give this another look 👍🏻

@gadirom_ @serhii_rieznik You can now also create .txt files that you read into a Swift string to pass to the Metal device.

@serhii_rieznik @graphicsguyale You can access all Metal features from Swift Playgrounds, the restriction is you have to pass shader code in strings inside Swift source files.

Did you know you can use Swift Playgrounds to program Metal directly on iPad? Here’s a toy implementation of bump mapping, made and recorded on iPad Pro.

Game Porting Toolkit 2 - developer.apple.com/games/game-por… with improvements to instruction and graphics API emulation (hello, ray tracing!), more games run, and they run faster and with more accuracy. This year even more tools and dedicated sample code based on your feedback.
