I tried to make a debug waveform visualizer for a month, and that didnt work, and I shelved it.. I got Amplify shader editor and made the metronome visualizer. It shows the current BPM, Phrase, Bar, and Beat!

A whole ass document showing everything waterwolf has done? Nice!

hm... It appears that the latest 2d ref of my main sona, Overclock, is a year out of date

I am struggling to understand what the context could possibly be even if its right in front of me... very random

had a blast playing for @sundayservice.bsky.social this weekend! I also messed around with Milkdrop for the first time! youtu.be/xXpnAcIavEk

so I discovered that sebbyspresso is terrified of deep water... A newt.. Scared of water.. Very funny and interesting

My set at FurRave last night was a ton of fun! I.. forgot to get pictures, hopefully others did!

oh wtf did I just find...

yoo im excited to DJ here!

hmm... ima get resolume

Fixed an odd bug within the dmx data generator shader, and am now creating the system to generate different waveforms! It will include; Sine - the classic Sine 'bounce' - sine with an absolute value modifier Saw/Triangle wave - ramp input stuff idk Square wave - like binary

Made the metronome model. The inner ring fills every phrase, or 32 beats. That is represented by the 32 markers on that ring. The middle ring is the bar indicator, it fills every 4 beats. The outermost ring will pulse to the beat

I have finally gotten the color pens functional in my world! It can sample from Audiolink's band colors, a hue brick, or even the video input itself! Now to get the bpm system working. Next step after that is the coding for the dmx data, and then the buttons

I had a confusing dream in minecraft where Neffertity was screaming at me for me failing an impossible task they told me to do of making items but they were completely broken and the ingredients were chasing a spaceship? I woke up so confused

Picard programming tip: A computer is like a mischievous genie. It will give you exactly what you ask for, but not always what you want.

DJing at Sunday Service was a lot of fun! thanks everyone!

yoo it me!

Offer received and accepted, funemployment ends homies. I release my employment jelly to the wild now, thank you friend.

very interesting!

wtf is this witchcraft @lomg.fyi?! This is amazing! I really enjoyed watching this set

Baby Tigerbees are unquestionably cute you CANT convince me otherwise!

Hm.. I have mistakenly believed Texas Furry Siesta is next week, and there is an event my family is going to this weekend, and I usually require a week of mental preparation to recharge my social battery before a furcon... I wont be coming to TFS sadly, I would just be too nervous and leave quickly

I want to give you a hug, comfort you in some way, but I do not know how. What I can say is that I also see how you are aware of your mistakes. You are aware of it and are trying to be a better person. I appreciate that, you are a good person. Its sad that its the only thing most people focus on..

I was practicing DJing and recorded a mainstage set! www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSym...

I agree with this.. On top of this, clubs that have their instance continuously be above 50-60 concurrent players should attempt (if possible to implement) to have a second instance open for those with low end networking power. My game slows to 10-15 fps in a full instance regardless of the world

ohhh boy... Just reached the big ol 1k hours of VRChat

Huh... closing VRChat via task manager after it irrecoverably crashed just triggered easy anti cheat?

i know people are gonna yeet stuff at me for posting this, but I feel like I may be screwed somewhat, I graduated with almost a 3.0 from a challenging university, with no internship and minimal extracurricular experience, and I do not know where I can go for jobs/internships..

I needed to get this off my chest. I hope it helps things a little, even if it isn't much. Thank you for taking the time to read it. <3

hmmm I may have worked on the shaders too intensely last week and got mildly burnt out.. will not work on it for a few days to take a break

Have issues with flashing lights? Placeholder Club will happily accommodate you! In our venue, you can either tap a dedicated "photosensitivity mode" button, or engage it using your controller to disable video, and turn off flashing lights in the map, keeping audio. Rave safe!

Menus and buttons are like the hands of a world, like drawing hands, it is the hardest part to make for many.. Apologies to everyone's minds for this potentially cursed analogy

I just realized, mildly inspired by Micca's post, that I should instead have buttons that put the lighting groups into certain "states".. Instead of having to control every variable (too many!), simply press a button, and it will change the variables instead kinda way

I am... going to invite a couple friends over to my world to discuss how the setup the controllers, and to brainstorm accessibility settings

BEHOLD! A contra rotating piston engine in KSP! serves no purpose and is way less powerful than a pair of electric motors, but it is cool! www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsOB...

without any context, this is a mismash of parts... video hopefully coming soon

aaand got distracted with KSP... again.. now I am trying to make an upgraded version of this engine i made a couple years ago, where it drives a counter rotating prop instead. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP5v...

the shaders will also need different noisemaps.. too many combinations result in the same general appearance

today, I may attempt to setup the DMX controllers... Idk what format they should be in.. its two DMX 13CH light groups with one small group of rings... And then theres the shader controller, which will need a different format..

was making an HSV texture for the lighting and got distracted for 10+ minutes by the fact that GIMP has an "aneurysm" gradient and also has "nauseating headache" lol

shaders... are feeling more like magic.. fun!

testing... Is it good that even with a very unfinished shader, its fun to sit in playmode watching it change colors?

shader bullshittery update: Decided to use rgb noise textures with separate r, g, and b noisemaps, effectivley having two textures have six noisemaps. This is far more effecient than using sine/trig equations for the shaders.. Also, got the color pens hooked up to the main shader... brain is goo

shader stuff is getting exciting! Getting ever closer to completing the functions portions of my world!

Ok here we go! Figured out how to use a camera to record the video player, yeet the data to a rendertexture, and have it read and applied by a shader!

hmm... I guess its time... time for some... shader coding bullshittery! wheeee!

Hmm... can change the GOBO texture.. neat! Not sure how to change the ones the volumetric uses tho.. May be a subtle hint to something else im working on

The new dragonite looks mildly like a bichi from Furality Somna.. neat!

pretty suit!
