super nice! all of it :)

Blog post: I've been working on a guide to SDF font rendering, and I kept getting stuck. The blog post is about the things that didn't work www.redblobgames.com/blog/2026-02...

Not sure what it is, but it is.... My new Portfolio! (best on desktop/laptop) neuroproductions.be

passing on the good word: "Threejs Conf Paris, here we go ! 🚀 --> threejs.paris Waitlist open !" organized by David Ronai (et al.), already a solid lineup :)

I did a rogue version of the "sphere encoder", it's a smart way of embedding images that avoids having too large "gaps" between embeddings. it brings back the 2016 GAN vibe just that it runs at 60FPS in browser with a pure #WebGPU implementation now :) demo & code below

how a 64k game was made! What impressed me the most was the texture editing tool. youtu.be/qht68vFaa1M?...

(no one) yes I DO keep working on that Cube thing! added a floating UI, improved the texture management and added animations, also animated the cube itself, I noticed a super nice volumetric smoke effect in "no rest for the wicked" so I slapped it in too... #threejs

will have to take a closer look at Embedding Atlas apple.github.io/embedding-at... released OS by Apple (!)

WIP generative hex maps with modular wave function collapse. super satisfying to see the road and river systems matching up. #threejs #webgpu

since no one asked, my pet project is doing great! I gave up on the inner parts and now I use a fairly sophisticated instanced geometries to handle sub-geometries, multiple UV sets and N-dimensional layouts. #debugviewart

satrted a silly side project, the goal is to make a good looking procedural object with nice lighting and surprising procedural animations. absolutely no idea where this is heading but it's just the perfect balance of fun, silly & challenge I need right now 😀 made with #threejs

currently writing a CV. it feels weird and quaint, especially after 16 years finding work exclusively through a network of people... next up I'll probably have to "revamp my folio" ™, can't wait...

had a silly idea for #genuary 20 "One line.." this is the world's longest possible walk, 23,068 km from L’Agulhas, South Africa to Magadan, Russia. I "straightened" the path and made evenly spaced slitscans along the path, each region becomes distorted yet continuous.

"Order and disorder." probably my last take at #genuary26, uses a 3D pathfinder to go from neatly ordered stacks to a random layout. #genuary2615 BTW, I'm available for freelance work (2 days a week for now). HIRE ME, I'm GOOD (& CHEAP! 😁) also ok with collabs, mentoring, Q&As, AMA...

"Create an invisible object where only the shadows can be seen." the source image is converted into a set a 2D primitives & rendered using the shadow of a morphing object. the video compression won't do it justice but the outcome is quite gorgeous ✨ #genuary #genuary2615

"Everything fits perfectly" #genuary #genuary2614

"self portrait" still lagging behind #genuary and this took me forever but it was fun. mediapipe, three.js and a bunch of custom shaders. barradeau.com/2026/genuary... if you want to try it at home (you won't see my pretty face though 🤷) audio 'Brooklyn' by Young Brass Band #genuary13 #genuary26

more progress on "self portrait", BEHOLD the mighty skull dance !💀

making GREAT progress on "self portrait" 😆 #genuary #genuary13 #genuary26

"Boxes only" I wanted to create an infinite Klotski, a sliding puzzle game and it was going fine until I realized it was NP-complex and cowardly chose to display 4 of them side by side instead ^^ music: "Prickly pear" by Portico Quartet #genuary #genuary12 #genuary26

"Quine" always wanted to do a Quine, it's both very silly and very challenging technically. here I print an ASCII rendition of my avatar then re-render it using the source code that can then be copy/pasted to re-create the whole animation ♾️ #genuary #genuary11 #genuary26

"Polar coordinates" explores some famous conformal maps (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conform...), I still remember being galaxy-brained when I discovered this principle ✨ boids for scale. #genuary #genuary10 #genuary26

"Crazy automaton. Cellular automata with crazy rules." not strictly speaking a CA yet inspired by @sakana.ai latest paper on core wars, it uses tiny neural nets (10-12-6 p) to play a core wars in 2D, the fittest agent becomes the "Digital Red Queen" #genuary #genuary9 #genuary26

"A City. Create a generative metropolis." Jared Tarbell's Substrate (www.complexification.net/gallery/mach... ), PSLG (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planar_...), simplification, finding cycles (the "blocks"), relaxation, *ahem* "clouds", tilt shift and voilà! #genuary #genuary8 #genuary26

"Boolean algebra." treat, trick, treat OR trick, treat AND trick, treat XNOR trick... #genuary #genuary7 #genuary26

'Lights on/off. ' explores the Art gallery problem, vision cones, floorplan generation, nav-meshes, avoidance and such #genuary #genuary6 #genuary26

'Write “Genuary”. Avoid using a font.' where I TOTALLY NOT used a font, it first uses Sinkhorn Optimal Transport to find the target locations then injects the particles into @liabru 's MatterJS engine and pure fairy dust is used to "rewind". #genuary #genuary5 #genuary26

#genuary "Lowres" locates some interesting features, triangulates, creates a mesh and adds to a 2D physics sim, runs a pass of relaxation, sample colors at the new locations, returns to origin & finally performs a Jump Flood to render the image barradeau.com/2026/genuary... #genuary2026 #genuary4

#genuary "Fibonacci forever", I did a silly 2048-like game using adjacent numbers in the Fibonacci sequence (1+1,1+2, 2+3, 5+8, etc.) to create combos. I doubt it's possible to go beyond F(17) & I added a solver because I hate this game 😀 barradeau.com/2026/genuary... #genuary2603

love it!

oh no

follow up with the second prompt "Twelve principles of animation", I made a silly dancefloor to show the different principles, also added some insights, some are actually very hard to render ^^' #genuary #genuary2 #genuary2026

late at the party but #genuary (genuary.art) is something special so here's my take at the first prompt : "One color, one shape" #genuary1 #genuary2026

The Call for Speakers is still open, we are very curious to what you have been up to!

Mixing all my passions together, #karate, #illustration and #3D animation into making a game, could this be something? #b3d #godot #gamedev #indiegame

Made a site comparing the sizes of living things :) The great Julius Csotonyi spent 5 months painting over 60 illustrations for the site, no ai used > neal.fun/size-of-life/

6 years of thinking I can make a better portfolio. 1 year of actually building it. My new portfolio is LIVE 🚀 Please, don't break anything! 👉 bruno-simon.com

Mapterhorn v0.0.5 was released: Sweden, Poland, The Netherlands, Sicily, and parts of Sardinia got high-resolution terrain data. Total PMTiles file size: 2.6 TiB. The raw source data is now also available for download (2.9 TiB). mapterhorn.com Enjoy!

this has bothered me for like... whenever PBR materials existed. maybe not suited for real-time games but thanks for scratching that itch :)

Training LLMs end to end is hard. But way more people should, and will, be doing it in the future. The @hf.co Research team is excited to share their new e-book that covers the full pipeline: · pre-training, · post-training, · infra. 200+ pages of what worked and what didn’t. ⤵️

Krea released the weights of their real-time video model www.krea.ai/blog/krea-re... Curious about the real-time perfs on consumer hardware, also curious about the vid2vid feature. The HF model card is here: huggingface.co/krea/krea-re...
