@threejs @tripoai vibecoding a game in threejs is such a blast when you are used to unity (and I actually like Unity)

@albn @ElliottRound Both! Scan it then have blender model it

If you read Aku: Journey to Ibra, then you already know how good Book 1 was. The story, the world, the characters… @Micah_Johnson3 really created something special, and seeing it become a New York Times Bestseller made it even better!

Now the journey continues with Aku: Battle for Pyra, and after everything Journey to Ibra gave us, I already know we’re in for a RIDE! 👀

If you loved Book 1, make sure you pre-order Aku: Battle for Pyra. And if you can, grab that hardcover!

Book 1 made the NYT Bestseller list… now let’s see if we can do it AGAIN with Book 2! 🤜🏽💥🤛🏽

See y’all on Pyra! 🌋

Pre-order Aku: Battle for Pyra ⤵️

I'm building something crazy for my music release.
Guess what it does?

@Love2Code Tripo has something called smart mesh which is decent for stylised stuff. and you could polycrunch a bit further. But UVs map will suck always without proper edgeflow in the model which is where humans are still better.

this is turning out as one of my most slow builds despite it being one of the most minimalist..

Hoping to turn this into a mental health VR app at some point

🔥 AKU IS BACK 🔥

The sequel to the NYT bestseller - Aku: Battle for Pyra is officially available for pre-order!

Nash has leveled up, the stakes are bigger, and Aku & his crew are headed to a planet forged in lava to find the GEM - a core said to control the light of the universe.

Bigger crew. Bigger adventure. Bigger stakes.

Aku started as a story and the promise of what that story could become mattered to a lot of early believers.

The fact Aku is now being read by thousands and a New York Times Best Seller is something I’m extremely proud to have delivered for those early believers.

[Durk @DurkatWork]

@Micah_Johnson3 @AkuDreams @warriors @valkyries So good to finally see it 😀

[Durk @DurkatWork]

@timsoret Yes! I’ve been doing this testing shaders in three js before moving to URP. Its so much fun and lightweight

Go visit a Barnes & Noble near you.

Out of all the books in the world, they picked @AkuDreams for their summer program.

I am very proud of that.
