Designed & prototyped this Sakura 🌺 Coaster (brass) in my studio over the past week! Learned a lot about designing for manufacturing & how to generate efficient tool paths. I’m still not great, but learning and super excited to keep going. 🙃🙂🙃 #productdesign #bantamcnc #machinist #cnc #cad #cam

Sometimes to begin a new chapter you need to let go of the past. I just deleted the all of my public open source repositories from Github. Its time for a new career doing something different. Not sure what, but giving myself a year to figure it out.

Designing a precise pen holder for my favorite pens (Sakura Pima Micron)… might try to get these fabricated in aluminum and anodized in black. #productdesign #render

This yo-yo thing / obsession is getting out of "hand" 😂

Working on some metal shader live coding ideas for v inspired by some conversation w @charstiles.bsky.social - thanks to Lygia and Satin from @patricio.io and @rezaali.bsky.social #vjing #livecode #realtime #gpu #metal #swift

I give you my latest creation, the apple spinning beach ball of death yo-yo, made with valence.

Designing a yo-yo to distract myself from the world burning

New dithering method dropped I call it Surface-Stable Fractal Dithering and I've released it as open source along with this explainer video of how it works. Explainer video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPqG... Source repository: github.com/runevision/D... #gamedev #vfx

✨Shader Vision 现已支持中文！✨ 实时 Shader 编辑直接整进空间计算，用 Vision Pro 把代码变成视觉魔法！ 支持透视、手势追踪等 XR 功能，现实和虚拟随心切换！谁还不是个特效导演了？ shader.vision 会把你变成AR/VR 3D扛把子~快装起来！ www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TiB...

I remade the famous colorful Apple logo using Valence 3D! 1. Used the new text primitive to create the  logo 2. Used the boolean intersection op to create the various sections 3. Set each part’s material color to match the reference 4. Exported a bunch of shots 5. Used VSCO to apply filters #3D

This weekend I wrote a GLTF and GLB file exporter for Valence 3D (built on cgltf) With #gltf & #glb exporting you can quickly import your #3D scenes made in valence3d.app into rendering & game engines. GLTF is widely used on the web so I’m hoping this will help people with #threejs #r3f #webdev

I've just announced my new (blazing-fast) kernel for implicit surfaces: mattkeeter.com/projects/fid... It's got something for everyone: Cool graphs! Multithreaded WebAssembly! Terrible mesh topology! JIT compilers! After three years, I'm excited to finally show it off to a wider audience 😎

New source of UI inspiration. This is a magnificent app, a mobile 3D model designer (a pocket blender kind of app). Gorgeous, highly polished, mobile-centric. A great companion for Godot on iPad: valence3d.app Files another dozen bugs on things they do wonderfully.

Fire Alert — my family is safe, we are not near any of the fires in Los Angeles. Everything is orange due to the smoke. Air quality is horrible. Stay safe out there my LA people.

If you are ever curious what some of these algorithms start as, here is a sneak peak into how to create polygon faces that has holes to feed into a half-edge mesh. This will be used to create 3D text meshes. Rasterizing a glyph is not insanely hard, properly handling holes is where it gets hard.

Working on exporting SVGs of 3D meshes. Anyone have insights on hidden surface removal or polygon clipping. I’m currently thinking of raycasting and clipping polygons. Just seems like a lot.

Finally got around to implementing matcap rendering in Valence. Here are some fun renders from the app! #graphics

Finally got path traced renders exporting properly out of Valence 3D

couldn’t be me, nope 🙃

I’m over here for you hyper visual folks savee.it/rezaali/

Low poly vehicle winch for a game vehicle design. Modelled in #Valence3d on iPad. Check out Valence3D by @rezaali.bsky.social it has some great tools for modelling on the go.

Huh, TIL. The "transform normals with inverse transpose matrix" is not ideal, turns out. Adjugate matrix is both better and faster to calculate. See github.com/graphitemast... and shadertoy by iq himself: www.shadertoy.com/view/3s33zj

Wrapping my head around radiance cascades for global illumination 🤓

Forgot how fun pottery is :)

lil art sculpture I made but never shared

Morley's theorem (1899) states that the intersections of the adjacent angle trisectors of any triangle defines an equilateral triangle. https://www.cut-the-knot.org/triangle/Morley/

You should be really proud of the UI/UX in the whole app, it’s quite amazing how well a whole pile of complex 3D modelling tools are at your finger tips.

v1.2.6 of valence3d.app features a new "trim by plane" command that allows for quick and easy mesh slicing. Proud of this minimal interface for setting the trimming plane. I resisted the urge to over design this because its a small feature. #swiftui #metalapi #3dmodeling #shaders

New here? made a starter pack of artists and tool-makers that uses code as an expressive medium go.bsky.app/CBAUvVU
