I agree that mipmapping is an optimization, but I also don't really consider it incorrect or misleading to call it a technique for mitigating aliasing - it's a practical technique for doing so. Fair point though, and perhaps I sho

There simply isn't another way to access registers from one 'thread' on another thread without using an intrinsic. You need that to calculate finite differences. For a long time, the only option was ddx()/ddy(). Now we a

No, we can use SM 5.0. It's all DX11. It's not that the framework the game is written in doesn't support such features, we just have no way to bind UAVs for example. What you can do on the CPU is very very limited, while GPU

Unfortunately true, but also not the experience that most people who continue to play the game have with it. Public instances, especially those in popular worlds, are pure cancer. Anyone who has played more than a few hours will tell you. T
