I mostly do programming and things with math and physics! Not for hire

The closest position to the origin that returns the maximum value is math.noise(-32.644743300984688, 61.518507788668546, -22.5)

[TheGrandBraker @BrakerGrand]

The exact range for Roblox's math.noise() is ±1.0363538265228271...

math.noise() implements the "Improved Perlin Noise" algorithm. I worked out its range to be ±1.0363538112118025... Due to floating point error, the range is slightly larger than theoretical. #Roblox #RobloxDev

@Elttob_ Happy Birthday!!! :D

[TheGrandBraker @BrakerGrand]

@BuildIntoTrains @DonaldFReynolds Would say it is performant. It could be optimized a bit more.

Continuous CFrame Exponentiation

I was inspired by @DonaldFReynolds's CFrame exponentiation, so I decided to do it as well! I did mine by exponentiating dual quaternions, which are an extension of quaternions that include translations.

@DonaldFReynolds Sure! here is my discord: TheGrandBraker#1430

[TheGrandBraker @BrakerGrand]

@DonaldFReynolds Oooo, that's cool! I'm pretty sure this is the same thing that happens when you exponentiate dual quaternions as well.

Projection of a Rotating Hypercube

I learned about this neat thing called geometric algebra. With it, I created a rotor to rotate the hypercube instead of using matrices to rotate things.

@Elttob_ Happy birthday!

[TheGrandBraker @BrakerGrand]

Oh hey, I just turned 16!

[TheGrandBraker @BrakerGrand]

@DonaldFReynolds This is super cool!

[Trey Reynolds @DonaldFReynolds]

I can push a part in a direction until it hits another part.
Part sweeping algorithm!
It's a little borked, but I can fix it!

Real-time fluid simulation in Roblox!

I was bored, so I decided to implement a grid-based fluid solver. It turned out super cool!

Realtime Softbody Physics!

Great for water balloons and other squishy things! Pretty fun to play around with.

Image Projection

Great for when you need to place images on uneven surfaces. Such as liquid splatters, stickers, etc. Slight inspiration from @EgoMoose's texture rotation thing.

@AstroCodeRBLX @BoatbomberRBLX @awesxome3 Probably multiple frames layered on top of each other and sampled to get the transparency for the UI gradient.

[TheGrandBraker @BrakerGrand]

@AstroCodeRBLX @BoatbomberRBLX @awesxome3 Yo i had the same idea

[TheGrandBraker @BrakerGrand]

@Incepic_ What is your method of distributing the points on the ground?

[TheGrandBraker @BrakerGrand]

@BoatbomberRBLX @EgoMoose I tried out beam rendering it there seems to be no gaps
