ADSing with the shotgun using procedural animations is working great!

Next is actually shooting the shotgun (and fixing clients being a little jittery) ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Procedural Animation / Inverse Kinematics WIP clip from my stream today

Lots to do, but wielding guns, walking/strafing over objects, and bending over are all smooth!

It's mostly data for procedural animations, no repeated code :)

Another day, more procedural animation work- Blending between all walk animations works great! And with extremely low network bandwidth to keep animations synced

With a raspberry pi 3B+ and a Pi camera module, you have yourself a $30 camera with streaming, multiple account support, TOTP 2FA (generates a QR code in your terminal to scan with an OTP authentication app!), and more in the future

make a fork if you want to contribute! Itโ€™s basic atm

Ring had a databreach, are you worried?

I have been working on an open source security camera+web server which has 2FA and HTTPS. Hook it up to a cloudflare tunnel and you have yourself a $30 security camera with online streaming.

I was thinking about AI and why itโ€™s not useful in the long run for researching and learning, especially with development;

And it comes down to how it will go down a rabbit hole to give you what you want

If you research something normally, you learn new ways of doing that thing in comparison

Top three panels show the "flat and boring" versions of glowy lights. Their colors are cyan, yellow, and white. As they fade, they remain cyan, yellow, and white.

Bottom three panels show the "interesting and bright" alternatives. The cyan light fades into blue. The yellow light fades into orange. The white light fades into a slightly yellow off-white.

Quick art tip: If your glowy lights look flat/boring (they read more like fog than light), it might be because you're fading from 100% to 0%.

Instead, try using an off color, and boost it to, say, 150%. This gives the same peak color, but fades through a different tone.
