Okay recently we discussed how to create an efficient escalator geometry, but what about animating it?
Of course you can always just send a bunch of stairs along a spine, but I didn't like that. First of all: a bunch of objects running on a loop seems like a bit of a hassle and also a waste of draw-calls.
So as I was expecting to do a lot of math anyways, I wanted to just do it properly.

A look behind the scenes of the mirrors in Sims 4, how efficient they cull objects and that they reflect invisible walls: https://simonschreibt.de/gat/sims-4-mirrors/
My new article is about how different types of shoes can affect game development and how games deal with this in practice: https://simonschreibt.de/gat/the-high-heel-problem/

You know, while I do appreciate Mastodon apps like Mona (formerly known as Spring for Twitter), Ice Cubes, Ivory (formerly known as Tweetbot), Phanpy, trunks, OpenVibe and etc, that have implemented fake quote post support, I dislike that I don't get notified when someone quotes a post of mine, using one of these apps.
When I quote people using my Friendica account, people (even Mastodon users!) do get a notification about this. Same happens when someone from Friendica quotes me: I get notified.
Wish we could have something similar like this, here, on Mastodon.
Even Bluesky and Threads have implemented that.
I miss quote feature from Twitter.
So I guess we gonna need to wait for Mastodon 4.4 to come out, since it has by idea, this feature well implemented.

My latest #DefconNails are inspired by Jon Buckley's "High Tech Monopoly" and feature 2x hidden Mifare Classic 1K "magic" chips (can write to UID and sector 0) and 2x custom NTAG213+LED nail stickers that I designed.
I've been doing #NFC nails since 2015, and Mifare nails since 2017, but I've never really done any videos showcasing their capabilities. So this year, I've made a video that shows me using a #FlipperZero to clone my hotel room key onto the Mifare magic chip on my middle finger, enabling me to unlock my hotel room door with my fingernail!
A resource I've used to grow as a #python developer is pyvideo.org, which hosts recordings of Python conference tasks.
There are thousands of talks about a wide array of subjects. This linked thread from my old account is about the talks I feel have learned from.

I just had a revelation. In our 3D asset pipeline, we use a special atlas and UV hotspotting to add fake bevels to low-poly hard surface models.
The problem is that the bevels can only have a fixed angle. The default is just using 45 degree chamfer/bevel. The problem is that only looks great on a convex shape with ideally 90 degree angles between faces. On convex or more complex shapes, the bevels look wrong...
What if we could use baked curvature to fix that though?

Hi folks, a while back on here we had a discussion on how games budget their frame time (ie. how much ms each feature should cost), I would like to revive that discussion, specifically a few questions, in AAA game space:
- how do you compromise between different features?
- besides past experience, what data do you use to justify the compromise?
- who are usually in charge of this balancing on a team?
If you'd like to see this idea exist too, please boost and/or suggest hashtags or a group for me to share it with.
I would like to see a sort of anti-game that makes use of a phone's audio and visual reproduction abilities in a soothing, beautiful way. No points, no competition, certainly no ads or things to collect or purchase. A beautiful changing display that reacts to touch. The visual sources could be a feed (attached images are from my Pixelfed feed). Does this exist?
Just added a feature to our USD asset turntable. It now has a helix camera move that gives a closeup render of the asset from bottom to top.
It's been a while since I've joined like a whole different social media platform, so I suppose I can make an #introduction post.
Hi, I'm Linni (They/Them) #genderqueer
I'm a self-taught #artist mostly into #DigitalArt but I work with #acrylic once in a blue moon.
I draw a lot of my #OCs, I adore my little made up guys.
I also like #ttrpg #videogames #techart #3dmodeling #anime #whump #fantasy
bird site refugee, but I'm already active on #tumblr so I thought I'd try it out here :)
This was more than 5 years ago.
Time flies. Lot of things happen since this first online tweet from me about glTF!
Who could know this will be an awesome journey (still in progress)
