@hybridherbst @SquaredApe Seeing that the actual version is 6000.xx is crazy

TVアニメ『葬送のフリーレン』
第9話「断頭台のアウラ」

原画は、動画（中割り）を入れてなめらかな動きになることを最終形態として想定して描かれています。
そうした工程にも注目いただけたらと、本パートでは特別に完成ムービーと一緒にお届けします。

@TheMirzaBeig Makes me think of @DMeville’s waterfall distortion shader

[CaballolDev @CaballolD]

I tool part of @HarryAlisavakis 's game jam with an absolute dream team:
@anthelme_dumont
@sami_ede
@daneobyrd
@ABeginnersDevB1
@TheRensei
@KubiakErik
@alexxxchange
I had a lot of fun working on the enemies' behaviour, it was quite a challenge with 100s of them active at once!

Time to update it with #ZeldaTearsOfTheKingdom as Z-UP @bgolus

[Ben Golus⚠️⭕ @bgolus]

@slipster216 Apologies to @FreyaHolmer

@CiroContns @_kzr It's a cool experiment, Chat-GPT has been a helpful tool for me lately.

He posted the shader experiment on the Unity Japan channel first iirc.
@OKatBest had a similar experiment a while back:

AI-generated game code 🤯

All you need to do is describe what you want and GPT-3 will try to write it down as a Unity c# script.

Lately I've been working on creating a consolidated github repo for all my shader snippets so I can easily import everything into new projects...

which means I finally revisited all the various SDF/shape functions I've been collecting: like @patriciogv's https://t.co/wSkloE9oHL

@ali_naqviii Oh it literally says it right there. Oof

[Dane Byrd @daneobyrd]

@ali_naqviii I use authenticator apps mostly. I haven’t checked whether Twitter has any alternative 2FA

[Dane Byrd @daneobyrd]

@chhopsky I really wish they’d learn more about real-time rendering and shaders. There’s so much you can do with just a few nodes

[Dane Byrd @daneobyrd]

@jwtstone Thank you for the clarification. Sorry for the mix-up

[Dane Byrd @daneobyrd]

@jwtstone It seems similar to your approach in some aspects but doesn’t seem to use data structures for each individual stroke. I was curious about your thoughts on this paper.

[Dane Byrd @daneobyrd]

@jwtstone Have you read this paper?
They determine stroke placement and orientation using normal vectors and principal curvature direction (stored in a frame buffer).

They partition the image using direction fields and use a low-pass filter and line integration.

@anthelme_dumont @alexanderameye You know it

[Dane Byrd @daneobyrd]

@FreyaHolmer Can you control the mesh’s width at different control points? Or does the mesh width have to be uniform…?

[Dane Byrd @daneobyrd]

@DMeville I remember feeling like people were being nit-picky about some things in recent pkmn games but many animations are substantially worse than most indie games. It just isn’t a priority for them 😰🤷‍♂️

[Dane Byrd @daneobyrd]

@DMeville I’m sure there are many 3D animators in Japan who would love to work on Pokémon if GameFreak hired new talent

[Daniel Ilett 🏳️‍🌈 @daniel_ilett]

My Unity shader book is OUT NOW! It's a 700 page chonk covering all render pipelines, HLSL shader code, Shader Graph, maths, textures, depth, transparency, lighting and shadows, post processing, compute, tessellation, and so much more! Check it out with the links below! ⬇

[AlanWyatt3D @Tradigital3D]

@MrAdamEarle What do you think?

[Dane Byrd @daneobyrd]

@FreyaHolmer I understand if this isn’t worth investigating, I can imagine it’ll create a lot of headaches. I figured if anyone could create advanced spline mesh generation that would work well for moving particle systems, it would be you

[Dane Byrd @daneobyrd]

@FreyaHolmer Unity treats each mesh trail as a chain of connected quad particles.

The trails are often jagged even if you use a Bézier curve node to manually interpolate between oldPosition, position, and targetPosition.
