New article! New... technique? Warping baked probes: c0de517e.com/025_cubeproj...

YouTube video by Better Software Conference Ted Bendixson – Most of your projects are stupid. Please make some actual games. – BSC 2025

This is something I've been trying to tell many people over the years. Unsuccessfully, for the most part.

Stuff like that was on my mind too - of course as I mention in the article, you have to then be careful because it's transparency, so it will show parallax - but w/manually made skirts U can make them tight. I guess stochastic transparency b/c you have a gbuffer that is not "blendable"?

Yes, stuff like that is where my mind was at first - I think the smart intuition is that you can just do everything in screenspace. That said, still hard, because that has to be at full-res, so you have to optimize quite a bit I imagine

I don't have (big) moral issues about them, probably less than a good chunk of tech I use, but I understand that YMMV there.

Bots like this is why people hate AI

So far the most useful thing has been literally as a replacement of intellisense, that's how it behaves without any extra prompting etc in VS/VSc and it's great. The second most useful thing is for "throwaway" scripts, where using chat-like stuff works great.
