I'll make a little thread of my photos. I intend to keep adding to this.
Unless otherwise specified, everything is taken with a Canon 80D.
This is one of the first low-light images with my Canon 50mm 1.4. In this darkness even manual focus is hard so it's not perfectly on point.

@TheStef1309 Thakn you so much!
We promise you that this album would be your masterpiece! 💫

[Stefan (dreaming of expensive lenses) @TheStef1309]

I am so excited. Asteryawn is the earliest I've ever discovered a band and I've fallen in love their music.
I hope they can find a large audience with this first album.

Day of the Devs immediately going to full actual 4K after that abysmal image quality in the #summergamefest stream is quite funny to me.

[Stefan (dreaming of expensive lenses) @TheStef1309]

Someone like @Dachsjaeger knows a lot more about this stuff so I really hope I'll see a write-up from someone knowledgeable afterwards. It's a shame about the show though. Kinda ruins it for me.

[Stefan (dreaming of expensive lenses) @TheStef1309]

Crop of a 4K screenshot of the #summergamefest stream from YT. It looks like it is a checker-board upscale of a 540p source? Maybe?
I'm not experienced in pixel counting so maybe I'm wrong, but the output on the @summergamefest side of the stream seems very wrong.

[Stefan (dreaming of expensive lenses) @TheStef1309]

The video quality on all of the #summergamefest streams is absolutely embarrassing...
Looks like some broken pixel filtering or something.

Say hi to the Malešov fortification! It actually looks a lot different today so our task was to build it back to its 1403 look - but there is still enough resemblance imho. You can actually visit it today which is great help for us. Malesov is located on the bigger Kuttenberg Map

[Sir Tobi ⚔🛡 @SirTobi28]

You know what guys?! If this tweet gets 1000 likes and 1000 reposts, I'll reveal an in-game screenshot of this amazing Malešov Castle artwork🏰!

Hurry before @PLAION notices... LET'S GO!!! ��🔥🔥

@FlipFluids @ArtellBlender Thanks! I completely missed that update. This is great for stormy oceans and waterfalls.

[Stefan (dreaming of expensive lenses) @TheStef1309]

@FlipFluids @ArtellBlender Wait, we can do that in FF? Set force field weights on just spray?
I've been looking for something like that.

[Stefan (dreaming of expensive lenses) @TheStef1309]

@illusorywall Major Blender user bias but z as up just feels better to me. Mostly because the ground being the x-y-plane just sounds nicest, it's where most stuff happens. I don't want it to be x-z, doesn't roll off the tongue.
I also think "Camera pointed down" is ok as default screen coords.

[Stefan (dreaming of expensive lenses) @TheStef1309]

@illusorywall I was really confused for a second about where you would backstab a fish in DeS and DS1.

I’m preparing the next update about flying inside buildings and a new (massive) orbital station.
It will be possible to load/deliver cargo from dock-ports ring hatches. The sim has orbital mechanics and a full-scale planet.

I made my own crappy version of a geometry nodes rain generator. It went much better than expected, even if I'm still a complete geo nodes noob.

[FLIPFluids @FlipFluids]

Experimenting with a rain generator idea using geometry nodes to spawn the droplets! #FLIPFluids #b3d

@FlipFluids That's smart, gives a lot of control.
I'll have to try that tomorrow.
