I don't understand how they could get (?:(?:\"|'|\]|\}|\\|\d|(?:nan|infinity|true|false|null|undefined|symbol|math)|\`|\-|\+)+[)]*;?((?:\s|-|~|!|{}|\|\||\+)*.*(?:.*=.*))) so wrong

On my way home from #GodotFest. Thanks so much to everyone for this incredible event! Hope to see you all again soon :) My presentation on foliage rendering in #Godot is already up on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2nB... And I also shared my slides here: slides.com/hexaquo/plan...

I’m now seeing a talk about large scale vegetation rendering in Godot, by Karl Bittner. He mentions there is an open source alternative to speedtree, which he has barely heard mentioned: EZ tree: www.eztree.dev It even has an in-browser 3D viewer in which you can try different seeds for the trees!

on my way to #GodotFest! hope to meet some of you there :)

The easiest way to create action lines in a shader is to take some noise and convert its UVs to polar coordinates 🙂 #godot #indiedev #gamedev

🔜 #GodotFest Want to see these slides (and many more) live? Then join my presentation on November 11th at GodotFest in Munich :) #godot #gamedev

Trying out 2 different approaches to leaf rendering on trees. The first is a custom mesh, where each quad of the mesh is extended along the normals. The second is are multimeshes of quads, where the normal is based on the vertex position relative to the center of the multimesh. #GodotEngine

So-called #genAI means the abolition of the future through the proliferation of endless streams of stochastically rendered generic pasts. Having turned large parts of the cultural archive into training data, it now traps us in a foreverized pastness, a 24/7 nostalgia for a past that never existed

In light of EA's upcoming change of ownership... here's your annual reminder that Will Wright's original GDC 2005 demo of Spore was one of the most incredible game demos every presented, before the game was utterly and totally ruined by EA's meddling. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofA6...

This is not only introducing a new approach to OIT, but it's a comprehensive overview of various OIT techniques and a history of transparency in COD. One thing that seems to be missing is CPU-side depth sorted transparency, which I implemented in SHG's COD branch and IIRC Treyarch had also

How to make a light beam shader in godot + download

Mother nature has created a beautiful place for us. The green and lush forests of the world calm our souls... until we have to render them! Let's hear Karl Bittner's virtual gardening wisdom @ #GodotFest!

Every lens leaves a blur signature—a hidden fingerprint in every photo. In our new #TPAMI paper, we show how to learn it fast (5 mins of capture!) with Lens Blur Fields ✨ With it, we can tell apart ‘identical’ phones by their optics, deblur images, and render realistic blurs.

Instead of regurgitating the bromide that LLMs are just "autocomplete on steroids" (even by people who know better), maybe we can actually engage in some public education. The problem with genAI is better expressed through a classic computer science concept, known as SYMBOL GROUNDING. 🧵

Our GodotFest proposal got accepted! It'll be a long talk with the title: >Plants, Polygons and Pixels: Large-Scale Vegetation Rendering in Godot We'll discuss how to create optimized 3D foliage assets, how to scatter them, lots of shading tricks, and LOD systems. Hope to see some of you there :)
