A fractal net with zigzag edges, built up with blended colors, where smaller geometric shapes pop out in bright yellow and red.

The wizard ponders his orb.

The wizard mixes up beverages that taste like rosemary, apricot and autumn drizzle to have with the ex-paladin, who brought egg and hard vegetal cheese croissants from the baker.

Turning sine waves to color:

color = cos(hue + vec3(0,1,2)) * 0.5 + 0.5

okay i have the rough sketch for @aguy.makeup ready. it will create people in the following format:

name
pronouns
"character class" (evocative adjective + some kind of noun about what kind of person they are)
detail

so this is an open call for detail suggestions. anything characterful

The same stuff generated differently.

Wait, I love random images and don't really need an excuse to post one.

Have some Perlin noise.

The wizard sleeps calmly. A tome glistens in the light of the moon.

The actual map is text characters. I have blurred it slightly because otherwise the bluesky scaling algorithm does horrible things to it. Red is cities, and that's an airport.

I just finished the first pass at a procedural landscape generator for a flying game, Kerosene Thunder. The goal is realistic 1960s landscapes ~1000km across, at 500m resolution. This is a thread about how it works now. #procgen #textmode

why are tires so expensive I hate this

my advice is that more of you bsky people should start following the adventures of the wizard from @towerwizard.bsky.social I am fascinated by his peaceful wizardy lifestyle

Black hole jets on the scale of the cosmic web - Nature Radio images reveal distant black hole jets of cosmological length, suggesting that the environmental impact of supermassive black holes extends further in space and time than previously thought.

Can I interest you in a cosmic-scale black hole jet that is way over 200 times larger than our galaxy? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The terrain above is based on an erosion noise implemented by clayjohn and Fewes in this Shadertoy:

It's really impressive, more people doing terrain generation should know about it!

Sometimes I just like shiny materials.

The problem is the AAA game industry is decades behind in production practices and habitually uses Perforce.

Git has some issues with binary files, but is definitely better in general.

Our tickets are $30, or pay what you can. We’re volunteer-run. We don’t have corporate-sponsored talks. And yet, unlike GDC, if you speak at Roguelike Celebration, you’ll get paid! No travel costs! We pay for streaming hardware if you need it! Human transcribed captions, uploaded with no paywall!

Working on the final rendering details of my fluid simulation.

This is just the AO and shadow pass in grayscale, sometimes stripping it down shows the most.

Hi #PortfolioDay, I'm Alecto!

I was a Procedural Tech Artist at Turn 10, making houdini tools for environment artists. I'm now looking for similar Tech Art work. I like making art tools and colorful environments!

procedural gantry

Nothing delivers human scale in a sci-fi industrial setting quite like a gantry.

But there's only one of me and I'd rather not spend ages building stuff that I might need to change or bin. So I spent this weekend in Blender geo-nodes making an automatic gantry builder (and also a pipe builder).

The Compendium version of #Acorn #Electron #Elite now has missions - three of them, in fact.

Here's the briefing for the Constrictor mission, backported from the #BBCMicro; I've also ported the Thargoid plans mission, and the Trumbles from the #C64 and #NES. 🫡

How about a splash of color in your #procedural #motiondesign?

Fully code generated, WIP #genart

I miss my old PCG days where I'd make weird alien ruins for fun.. So last weekend, I made some weird PCG alien ruins for fun.

I'm going to have to switch to postmodernism or taoism or something.

I was going to use ontology terms from Greek philosophy. Makes sense, right? Go to the source. So I went looking. Turns out that everyone is already overusing "entity."
