#MantisShrimp v1.1 is out. I added support for #MeshShaders
I think it's becoming more of a shader toy than an image diff tool, but hey-ho 🙈
Check the manual: https://t.co/YMxkjxg32z

2-week delay in #genuary 🫠
Hexagonal #genuary10
Cubes look like hexagons with the right angle. I've used #MeshShaders again. All the geometry is generated in the mesh shader.

i wanted to tell you how we made the visuals for nerve-bloom
i did it with Natalia Kleszczewska and Natalie Liu .

Natalia Kleszczewska is a painter , she painted the creatures and the backgrounds .
Natalie Liu is a computer graphics director , she shaped the digital dimension of the work .
my role in it was a creative director , bringing in the singer-songwriter tradition , where emotionally precise things happen inside the structure of a song . i guided colour pallettes , textures and the environments the music happens in .
to make this possible , during the process , natalia often had to paint many shapes and sizes , different textures and layers of colours . natalie then developed the visuals, designing and overseeing CGI elements , and finding ways for the digital to sit organically alongside Natalia’s world . and include my dramaturgy and creative direction.
we spent 7 months talking and working together , dedicated to relish in the craft of blending hand-made visuals with digital experimentation , 3D design and commit it to physical display technology . a lot of time was spent on researching different tools and techniques to find what worked best at each stage in the song .
like i’ve done before , i wanted to merge old things with tech , giving it soul & a meaning .
to paint a painting is an analog craft but computer programming is craftmanship too !! and both can co-exist ,
.....encouraging each other to bloom even further towards a mutual world .

there is a tradition in pop music for the mucisian to choose a video director . in the art world , this is called “curation” , but where we came from , it was natural that the musician would have strong opinions on what your song needed , which mood , colours , textures & storyline . today this is called “creative director” and it is something we didn’t credit ourselves with in the 90s , but i am starting to understand this better now .

i don´t think of me as a visual artist . because my heart is music . everything i do comes from a sonic point of view .
this is something i have called “sonic symbolism” , sound made visual , a reverse synesthesia .

when you listen to a song for the first time , it is like swallowing a whale , you need to feel the whole musical sculpture in one go .
the structure of a song has always been extremely important to me : what shape it is .
this is part of the craft of being a singer-songwriter

........... we are tune sculpturors .......

since i am talking about the visuals for nerve bloom it is impossible to not mention the avatars in my music videos .
they have replaced the storyteller with anattempt to connect to the more universal element of music , through animation, avatars , puppetry both digital and analog .
for me they are marionettes in a puppet-theatre , hopefully in a similar realm as the jungian archetypes
( which we all can act out the characteristics of ...)

.... i feel nerve-bloom is a natural continuation ....

an animated avatar archetype

singing you a song

@FabriceNEYRET This is the eye vs camera eternal dilemma in games. Motion blur in games follows the standard of cinema because that's what viewers are used to. In reality, the best thing to do is no blur at all, just increase frame rate and let the eye do its own blur. But high fps is $$$ 🙃

ミミズになるパズルゲーム
『WOIM』

プレイヤーはミミズ。
長くてくねくねした体を使ってパズルを解き、地下世界を進んでいくゲーム。

グラフィックのかわいらしさに反して扉で胴体を切断したりハサミでちぎったりと、ミミズボディが最大限活かされている期待作。

[En David @endavid]

@PopBase A bit misleading post. I think she knew what "coming out" means, that why she realised after a few secs that "out" meant "coming out". The sentence said "I'm finally out to my mum" not "I finally came out to my mum". What she learned is "to be out".

R.I.P @kali_shade -😢💕 The greatest shader programmer in the history of mankind... We're going to miss you terribly on this plane, dear friend! ... I’d like to share a memory of you with the community here, from when we were at the first VUELAPELUCAS 3000... You were the one who came from the year 3000, my friend— you were a galactic spaceship from the future!
