Learning about tree growth and trying to make an insanely fast renderer that can draw tons of trees at any stage in their growth cycle.

While down the rabbit hole, I found this awesome book with lots of neat ideas- The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants

Planning with ADHD is dangerous because sometimes the plan gives enough dopamine to replace the activity.

See how mud can be visualized with FluidNinja LIVE-2, a recently released version of the real-time fluid simulation tool for Unreal Engine 5 by developer Andras Ketzer.

The tool was previously used in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Dune: Awakening: https://t.co/Lru6kH369U

Wild AnimGen Example project just appeared on Fab.

It trains ML based animation controllers directly in #ue5 and evaluates them at runtime. Sample project includes a retrainable player controller and a pretrained NPC controller with wide style variety and prop support. Unfortunately, NPC one seems like not editable.

I guess this gives some idea about where anim systems are currently headed.

spore was the biggest disappointment of my youth and I aim to fix that even if I have to do it myself. check out these procedurally animated (arbitrary!!) skeletons https://t.co/BStpjVejXn

i feel so torn up that SO MUCH of my knowledge is now useless? every single C trick i've ever learned. my encyclopaedic knowledge of the verilog standard. all the maths i ever learned. what was it all for. :( my entire pre-LLM output is like a few months of clauding. like wtf.

Love seeing all these game devs that made fun of the web for decades all of a sudden building three.js-but-better engines 😁

The ADHD urge to buy a thing, watch all the videos about the thing, religiously track shipping until it finally arrives, excitedly open the shipping box to get to the thing, then place the thing somewhere random and forget about it for 3-60 months.

the moat is literally just caring about your work and being proud of your output and holy shit it does not seem to apply to 99% of people

Filling the gaps among splats with meshes or ray-marched surfaces. The data & acceleration structures are already there. Doing both splats & fill in one single pipeline is cheaper than doing them in two separate pipelines.

I absolutely love how much terrain deformation and camera overshooting are a huge part of these animations, so good

I don't know who needs that kind of thing, but it remains impressive 😆

I will admit, I am enjoying vibe coding. I may have been a teensy tiny bit wrong.

Software engineers don't even read the AI generated code anymore. They just look at you like this.
