I shot a lot of cool video on holiday in Rwanda, so here's a highlights video youtu.be/SnKrGn1JIQE And for those who want to see more, a playlist www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Visited a gorilla family today in Rwanda. I saw only happy, eating and playing gorilla's. At one time, the alpha silverback walked by me at 1cm distance. I was squatting, so at eye level and we made eye contact. It was magical youtu.be/hMyY6JOqhoc

New video! Old news, new package: AI, Procedural Generation, UGC, in-game trading, Blockchain, and the Metaverse Why are game developers so adverse to these technologies? The best way to find out is by asking folks who have lived through the history of game development. youtu.be/CeZ_rcDQg6Q

HERDLING is coming out in just a few hours, so there's just enough time to go through some other fun tech-art stuff 👀 Here's another behind-the-scenes 🧵 with various other interesting tech-art stuff featured in our vast and furrious game ✨

To my fellow EU people, Chat Control is a proposal made to scan all messages, photos, and private conversations without consent. We can stop this, mass surveillance isn't the answer, let's contact our reps ! fightchatcontrol.eu#contact-tool

Y'all need to get on my level as a game designer.

Maybe the real Ship of Theseus was the Ship of Theseus we made along the way

I am going to have to trademark "AI-gen is a mediocrity trap". Using it prevents you from reaching mastery cuz you aren't exercising deep skills. If you are a master you might lose those skills cuz you outsourced too much. Either way the end result is a hyper efficient mediocrity trap.

Alright, due to popular demand, let's start talking about the 🎶 Beasts with the fur (with the fur) 🎶 in ✨HERDLING ✨ Here's a 🧵 with the process and tech behind the fur on our fluffy Calicorns:

OSA is gonna make us lose access to fucking wikipedia write to your MPs.

Looks like I'm looking for a job :-/ Anyone looking for a senior dev?

Someone asked me what I thought of VR games in general in 2025 on our discord. I spent too much time writing this so figured I'd share it elsewhere. This is written off the top of my head so apologies for overbroad generalizations. Coffee-shop tier banter.

Splats are great, but wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could transform them into the stuff of dreams? Introducing our #CVPR2025 paper ✨Morpheus✨! Morpheus lets you change the shape and appearance of 3D Gaussian splats with a few words! nianticlabs.github.io/morpheus/ (1/6)

Probably the best Brush (github.com/ArthurBrusse...) reconstruction I've seen so far, many thanks to @gradeeterna.bsky.social!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGl0... Try it interactively here arthurbrussee.github.io/brush-demo/?... if you'd like to melt your GPU a bit ;)

Electrician Simulator VR brings the shockingly realistic sim to Quest, PS VR2 and Steam this week. Details here: www.uploadvr.com/electrician-...

Still very proud of this episode of Inside XR Design which covers "Instructed Motion" and its application in Beat Saber and Until You Fall. If you're interested in VR game design, don't miss it!

Noot noot, everyone! 🐧 We are happy to announce our indie VR game, Penguin Festival! www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1lO... Wishlist on Steam: bit.ly/penguinfests... For more info, visit our website: cozycubegames.com

Surely this new video won't make me seem like a crank. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEJp...

I'm thrilled to share a new JCGT paper, "GPU Friendly Laplacian Texture Blending." It uses simple image processing and computational photography techniques to smoothly blend/layer textures and materials while preserving local contrast and texture details without ghosting or over-blurring. 1/3

Latest unofficial @shpongle.bsky.social music video just dropped: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sHf...

I like to capture holograms for my Looking Glass Go by shooting video. To optimize that workflow, I wrote a pyhon script for Davinci Resolve which assembles a hologram quilt after rendering. github.com/PatHightree/... Here's a sample blocks.glass/pathightree/...

I have just made my Deckard Render plugin for Unity available for free (for animations under 10 seconds). It is a good way to add depth of field and natural motion blur to any Gaussian Splat. Feel free to try it: radiancefields.com/deckard-rend...

OMG the new Jerobeam Fenderson just dropped and it's a masterpiece FYI this is oscilloscope music, so the music signal is fed into an oscilloscope and produces the visuals in the video youtu.be/BDERfRP2GI0

Oh wow, chasing RC cars with my tiny drone was so much fun ! youtu.be/y4ebhc6ewa0
