I am very proud of this: Real-time Indirect Diffuse Light on a low-end GPU. No tricks, no pre-compute, no temporal AA, no slow convergence. 100% dynamic geometry/light every frame. #PhotonMapping #OpenCL

Good bye.

@MarkSharon_DP @fietsprofessor @zwartecross That would have been 10,000 busses, so fortunately they used their bikes instead

@kdlc12 @BeeMixsy I once started making a procedural 3D editor in Python. But the issue is that “selection” does not translate well to code. But the idea was: house = cube().extrudeface(5).selectedge([0,2]).collapse() ..or similar. I didn’t get too far, but the edit history is explicit.

@jeriellsworth I will have to watch the latter, then. I had not heard of it before.

@jeriellsworth Is that a request for recommendations, or a proclamation that you are watching a bicycle-skiing movie? If the former: “Don’t look up” is this decade’s best movie. Already seen it? See Kubrick’s “Dr Strangelove” which is the same thing, but for 1960s angst.

@kdlc12 @BeeMixsy Nendo, long gone, was the inspiration for Wings3D. What made it really good were all the in-editor tutorials that came with it. It taught me how to create! “This is a cube/sphere/cyl, and this is how to turn that into to a rocket/teacup/tennis-racket.”

How crowded are the tunnels for *your* bicycle super highways?

HOW MANY MORE BLUE SCREENS OF DEATH BEFORE PEOPLE STOP USING WINDOWS FOR ANYTHING MORE CRITICAL THAN SOLITAIRE? IMPORTANT stuff should go on QNX, BSD, Linux. IT managers still on Windows deserve this.

@rachelmetz Maybe it is a $7M structure on a $20M lot? If so, he could recoup by tearing down and rebuilding, perhaps?

The Nixon quote hits both number 3 and number 11. The democracy ⇔ fascism flip that America is doing now, reminds me of the gop ⇔ democrats flip regarding racism. American society is surprisingly fluid when it comes to principles. Liberty should not be taken for granted.

@ID_AA_Carmack “..hard core free speech advocate..” Right of free speech pertains to the government, which is not allowed to silence you. It has nothing to do with twitter, nor with cancelling. Speech should have all the private repercussions, especially hateful speech.

@vtchakarova @jgarzik Expensive shipping is a good thing, as it encourages consuming local products. It’s pretty obscene to be consuming Argentinian beef or New Zeeland fruit when you are in Europe.

@geerlingguy Any product that sells out in 5 minutes was priced too low. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 10X the price, and only the most committed developers would buy one, not the “maybe that could be neat” crowd.

@SpencerHakimian @chamath “Bone spurs” meant he never got “his training.” If you stand by Shitler, you welcome Putler as your czar, which means you are a traitor to democracy and a traitor to your country. An Alzheimer president is bad, but a fascist autocrat is worse. Lincoln and Eisenhower would ↺🪦
