the matrix was a documentary
Calling the character for my real-time project done. Had paid an artist for the model (this is one configuration, there’s various outfits and styles), just took some effort to get everything connected on Blender. I’m using tools designed for Unreal Engine, so manual effort was necessary to get
New demo showcasing a higher quality model with improved image-based lighting. Using spherical harmonics here (SH2), which I had from the beginning, but added automatic dominant light extraction when loading an HDRI image. This detects the sunlight, ambient environment lighting, and controls the shadowing. So basically everything in
Made a new concept visual for my untitled debut game from Outmode on my OpenGL/WebGL engine, Degine. Generated using Midjourney 7, this is fairly close to my vision, and also matches the art for the game that was already completed. Planning on using this as a test to
Rebooted work on Rendepth, my stereo 3D media player. Decided to go with SDL3 as the base, as it has a new cross-platform renderer (Vulkan, Metal, DirectX12), which will make things a bit easier. Needed something lightweight, so felt that starting from scratch rather than repurposing Degine code
So I decided to throw together some concept art for an idea I’ve had for a bit. Put this together with Midjourney, and it actually came out pretty close to what I had in my mind (well, much better). Was planning on publishing a smaller game with my
Decided to make a new profile pic for my social networks. Still the same character, but with an anime AI glow-up. This was a celebration of hitting 4,000 follows on Twitter. The image was created originally by rendering in real-time and then feeding that into the AI. I
The world is changing. Changing rapidly. The level of technology from 20 years ago, or even 10 years ago, is far in the past. It seems strange, because walking outside or sitting in your room doesn’t look materially different. But it is. We live in the future, and
This book is going to be hard to understand, and even harder to accept, but keep reading. We’re all living in a simulation. The physical world is an illusion, and time doesn’t exist. Don’t worry, I’ll explain. Reality itself is entirely subjective, almost like a dream we are
So much of life is defined by binary concepts. Religion speaks of good and evil. Science explores truth and falsehood. Computers are denoted by 1’s and 0’s. We can see it everywhere, and it affects everything. This book explores the idea that these divisions may not be as
Aniela, a lighting study made in Godot Engine 4.0. Features a cinematic camera and can be watched as a real time music video, a 3D graphics benchmark, or control the camera and fly around the environment. Uses real time global illumination in Godot 4.0 to achieve realistic lighting
