This was the first week of me running Quel Solaar as a proper Game development Studio with 2 employees. Iโ€™m funding it all out of my own pocket, and while Iโ€™m very unlikely to see any of that money ever again, Im determined to have the best of times, and make cool stuff.

At GDC in 2001 I gave a not very great talk about GI. One of the techniques I Invented and named was โ€Bent normalsโ€. Today this is a very common technique in engines. But I have no idea if my idea percolated, or if it was reinvented by others, so I cant really take credit for it.
