Decided this year to play some old games that I have no nostalgia for, starting with the original Deus Ex from 2000. I knew I was going to enjoy it but wasn't expecting to get as engrossed as I did. I'm going to miss this crunchy, often endearingly janky, mysterious world

I'm kind of proud of this Blender script I managed to write that creates a vertex color gradient between two colors, starting with the vertices you've selected and ending x distance away. Extremely helpful for a lot of the shader-writing I've been doing lately

Just learned about Illustrator's new "enhanced image trace" feature, which does the same thing as the old image trace feature but way worse. Great job adobe

Has anyone had success in filtering AI images out of their pinterest recommendations? I still haven't given up on it, but it seems like it is at least 50% slop now

I finally got around to redoing my website:
sweaterparrot.com
. Mostly the same stuff as before - the main difference is just that I rewrote it from scratch instead of using Adobe Portfolio (and as a result it loads quite a lot faster and the design is a bit cleaner).

I am battling it out with URP, trying to get reasonably crisp hard shadows. The best I've been able to get it to look is this first image - note the jagged edges and the fragmented shadows around the smaller objects. This is at the highest shadowmap resolution, cascade 0, etc. HOWEVER: (1/2)

I'm loving how simple scripting is in Blender is so far! Especially because I could never really get the hang of it in Cinema 4D. Great for one-off things like creating a new hole at an arbitrary point in the middle of the course and needing to rename a bunch of stuff

NEXT PROJECT: I'm going to be turning this piece from a few years ago into an interactive unity thing. I'm going to focus on optimizing the heck out of this model and improving the UVs, which is something I definitely need practice with!
