Technology nut / developer / artist. Currently developing Voidwalker

[MK @theDEVLAD]

Managed to solve most issues triggered by the stack update, and integrate some learnings I've had in the last month or so, particularly performance.

Refactored most models and components into a common library. Only 240kb for all models so far

#threejs #r3f #buildinpublic

[MK @theDEVLAD]

For those who asked, yes, I'm still alive. I finally managed to find employment after getting very close to being out on the street.

Hope to return to r3f/three.js work in the next few weeks

@s_lempens Fresnel, perlin, these are the names of the webgl gods we worship :D

@KennyPirman Oooh, add buildings for an O'Neill cylinder

Course I had to get COVID in Melbourne Airport

@ImmersivStudios Dig the marble texture

[MK @theDEVLAD]

@ImmersivStudios Big fan of that

[MK @theDEVLAD]

@RafaTecXR Bro, that really sucks

[MK @theDEVLAD]

Back after liquidating some assets and deciding to take a trip around Indonesia as a reset.

[MK @theDEVLAD]

Finally got an interview after 6 months.

Too bad I was stood up for it, and received zero response as to why

Man I am done with this industry

[MK @theDEVLAD]

@chaoticsoooul @bruno_simon @threejs You and me both. I still need to finish it

[MK @theDEVLAD]

@Axiome_CG @Andersonmancini I don't work for myself, just no jobs about

[MK @theDEVLAD]

Back of spending some time in hospital

The job thing has broken me. After my last 600 odd applications received not even acknowledgement replies I've just given up.

I start training for a different career this Friday. Unfortunately 2 decades dev experience is worthless.

@realitydesignrs Been over a year bud. Prior to that I had to take a year off to fix health since I had a brush with the reaper, but that is also something held against you in this industry it seems.

[MK @theDEVLAD]

The worst part is the complete radio silence. With no feedback, there's no opportunity to do anything targeted and useful.

[MK @theDEVLAD]

@PavelBoytchev That's fantastic, also I feel dumb for never thinking about doing it that way

[MK @theDEVLAD]

@austinkettner Multiple problems with working for international companies. It's not an option just from a taxation perspective. Thanks though

[MK @theDEVLAD]

Out of time to find a new job. It's been a long 18 months trying, but I'm out of money.

Gaining a physical disability has cost me my career in the time of anti-remote, ableist workplaces.

Not sure what to do next

[MK @theDEVLAD]

@tinotibaldo Lol

[MK @theDEVLAD]

Couldn't help myself. When I saw
@CultOfTheNorth 's website, I had to figure out those clouds myself

While they probably won't replace my existing clouds system (Modified Drei component), the way they work is simple and fun. #threejs #webgl #r3f #threejsJourney
