A Number From the Ghost

Multimedia artist making music and game-like things. Endless museums, video stores, summer dreams, & the inexplicable dread of being alive.

Is it OK to get lost if you never knew where you were to begin with?

The first chapter of "Light Comes Into the Room" is coming soon to a browser near you. Free to play on desktop, mobile, and VR, and hosted exclusively by @VIVERSEofficial Built with #threejs and #Blender3D.

You have a long day in front of you... Webby Award winner @jittercub is back with an amazing new project: Light Comes Into the Room

A natural outgrowth from anumberfromtheghost, this new work mixes new visuals and gameplay with the same epic scale and immersion.

Link in our second post.

I see you

The first chapter of "Light Comes Into the Room" is coming to a browser near you in the next few weeks

Made for @viverseofficial

It's a natural outgrowth of what I've done on the A Number From the Ghost site - this time a bit more like a traditional video game, less like a music video. Music will still play a big role, but so will other sound effects, spoken audio, and exploration.

I'm excited to announce a new project in the works for @VIVERSEofficial! This is a brand new game I've been developing that I plan on releasing in chapters that slowly reveals a world of familiar strangeness.

@AnshCooll thanks! it took me a while to learn it all, but there are plenty of great resources out there to help

I wrote a short article about an efficient way to create rain in #threejs using particles and a small PNG for blurriness:

@adifyi Hopefully insane in a good way

[A Number From the Ghost @jittercub]

@AndersHjemdahl I'm not familiar with that, but if you layer with HTML (2 canvases, the particles with a higher z-index than the background) it might work

Walking through the rain with cheap volumetric fog (background sphere of FBM noise, scattered instances of planes with overlapping cloud textures that become transparent at certain angles and distances.)

[A Number From the Ghost @jittercub]

@AndersHjemdahl something like:
float n1 = noise12(vPos.xz * freq + uTime * .1);
float n2 = noise12(vPos.yz * freq - uTime * .2);
vec4 c1 = vec4(mix(uColor1, uColor2, n1), 1.0);
vec4 c2 = vec4(mix(uColor3, uColor4, n2), 1.0);
vec4 c = mix(c1, c2, sin(n1 * .1) * 0.5 + 0.5);

[A Number From the Ghost @jittercub]

@AndersHjemdahl That looks like it could be achieved using a noise algorithm (simplex, perlin, etc) to modulate between various set colors.

@CarbonJewels happy to answer any questions, or you can read a couple articles I wrote about my process: https://t.co/DgbMMXrDVq

working on clouds, puddles, and rain for a pending storm. recorded directly in the browser from a work in progress. #webgl

@op7418 thanks for sharing my work, I don't know what youaware is but I didn't post it there! it's not AI generated, I coded it and made the art/music myself.
