@KenneyNL Still very early prototype, but game gods bless you for those placeholders !

[Casual Garage Coder @CGarageCoder]

@Bolicha_Studio That's really really nice. Good job. You are very talented.

Did you know that in Folklands, unemployed folks flock towards burning buildings, waving their arms and asking you to put it out 💦

the building will still burn down but circus to the people! 🔥

[Casual Garage Coder @CGarageCoder]

@Bolicha_Studio I wish you could explain to me how you proceed to implement the brushes.

[Casual Garage Coder @CGarageCoder]

It's been a while since I've last posted here. I'm active in the "other platform" with the blue thingy.

Should i cross post here, too ? 🤔

Saying goodbye to Youtube as a viewer. The recent usage restrictions are just intolerable.
I'll keep posting devlog (if i find time to do so), but else, I'll enjoy a life without YT. #YouTubeDOWN

Wireframe rendering shows how the terrain is moved on the fixed mesh. The shader is performing a bicubic Bézier interpolation on the 128x128 heightmap (as for all the previous posts made about terrains). #GodotEngine #shader #glsl #indiegame

[Casual Garage Coder @CGarageCoder]

Blue : Fixed Mesh moving along with the camera (36k vertices, 72k faces)
White : 128x128 instances of 3x3 quads (262k vertices, 294k faces ).

The fixed mesh is computed once and a shader "moves" the terrain on it based on the camera translation/rotation.

@Bolicha_Studio I'll steal your code as soon as you'll publish it ;) very well done !

[Casual Garage Coder @CGarageCoder]

I'm starting an article (or a series of articles) about making a workflow to create 3D animated characters into Godot. As a draft, i've made a quick experiment. It's a bit rough/unpolished, but tell me what you think about it. https://t.co/6HA8bCLX18 #GodotEngine @GodotBarn

#GodotFest sets the bar high. Quality talks and great organization. I've met many delightful devs. Unfortunately, I've not seized the opportunity to greet many of the people i know online 😥 Everybody looked super busy.

As a request, I have implemented the Steerable Perlin Noise from @TearsOfJake as a Noise resource in #GodotEngine. The implementation is a port of the shader code. Feel free to contribute/review/give insights #procgen #perlin

[Casual Garage Coder @CGarageCoder]

@TearsOfJake But it won't be used in case of Noise2DTexture, obviously. The Noise3DTexture should be fine tho. This new method will have to be directly called. It might have a usage in a software (CPU based) application even if it fits more GPU based computation like shaders.

[Casual Garage Coder @CGarageCoder]

@TearsOfJake Sadly, this implementation misses the point of this particular version of Perlin noise : Stretching along a vector field. The shader implementation uses world position and normal to apply the noise upon a surface.
I should add a method to take position and normal into account.

Well, it got to start somewhere ...

Simple 2D maze generator using #GodotEngine. #procgen #indiegamedev

What about a nice little #GodotEngine module to give a small API about feedforward neural networks and backpropagation learning ? Just that. Nothing more. Very focused and narrow scoped.

[Bolicha @Bolicha_Studio]

my custom brush got filled with junk data again and just LOOK AT IT it's the prettiest one yet!
