Shower thoughts;
The planet is heating up faster than evolution can deal with, so we'll HAVE to start moving further north/south.
Currently, the poles are uninhabitable due to extreme cold... but I'm imagining a future where the poles are good... and the equator is inunhabitable due to extreme heat.

UK may have stupid online laws... but at least they don't have an orange man-child as a leader making ALL of life worse.

Using Bakery realtime preview by @guycalledfrank.bsky.social to check area lights... to be baked into volumes for Light Volumes by @sim.red ... to THEN be used to provide the walls, fog and avatars in #VRChat with realtime light information from the screen.
The FUTURE baby~ ¦D

Oooh, legit uranium glass! :O

Just posted Fast Fur v5.1.0.Beta.7 on my Discord server, ready for testing!

It has a new render quality system that can finally handle FoV properly, which is a technical puzzle that had me stumped me literally for years!

In todays episode of "Why are you like this?":

After throwing corner shop bird seed into a garden planter for the birds, it somehow grew into wheat.

Never one to miss an oppurtunity, Jay decides he's going to make pancakes with it.

As so - with impromptu minor blood sacrifice - it became so. ¦9

Life saver~ ¦D

Just finished Open NID's release. A new open source tool to help get past that pesky "IVRCSDKPreprocessSceneCallback" error from the VRChat Worlds SDK.

Can automatically fix Network ID Conflicts upon Build! And manage your Network IDs in a Scene.

It's funny, I've NEVER had this problem until very recently. And now it's happening all the time. Open NID my saviour~

I love mine~ I just wish they'd make it legal to use here. I still use it to razz around locally... but I could get picked up by police, have it taken off me and fined any day. It's so stupid~ 😭

Todays project:
Convert dead GH guitar into an ESP32 bluetooth gamepad to play Clone Hero.

- Got 5 buttons, strum up/down, select, start working
- Dpad, LEDs and whammy wired up, but not added yet

An 18650 battery pack for power.
I'll put that inside with a switch sometime.

It works great too! ¦D

Naww, midi is very standard, it's been around yonks. Don't know what Reddit is banging on about.
I used to use a little midi to usb dongle to connect my drums to my PC, works a charm~

Midi stuff don't need drivers themselves! Just pick up one of those cheap midi to USB dongle thingers for a fiver~

Just a reminder...

Google AI overviews also tells you how to disable Google AI overviews~ 😂

Oh! Post processing, gotcha.

What are you using for your light glare there?
I just threw a quad on mine with shader that lerps based on view direction, and it looks kinda jank~ ¦D

Yeah you're right, it's not a direct comparison. Best I could at short notice.
And not the best use case either with such a big open area. For smaller rooms and occlusion culling, horror maps etc... LVs are gonna slap. ¦3

They'll fit upright in the corners of a room. Kickass surround sound system! 8O

Yeah, that's how I've been trying it. I've dropped the fog samples and step size down... obvs hardware plays a big role, but it's still only getting 1/3 of the FPS than without in VRC.
Same world, left w/o LV and fog, right image is with both.
I got ~50fps with VRSL meshes and projectors.

It looks amazing with the raymarched fog, but it's kinda rough on performance for stage lighting.
VRSL is still king in that regard, especially in VR.

If you post on a public platform like this, anyone can reply.
Acuse you? You straight-up asked for someone to rip an avatar for you, no acusation required.
The avatar doesn't belong to you. It's not yours to take.
Check your morals, and feel free to block me if that's the kind of person you are.

Instead of just trying to contact the creator, why would you first choose to steal it? :<

Cull off, and fixed normals~

Also a reminder that I'll be hosting VRchat karaoke tonight at 9pm EST! Be there!

The werebeaver may be attendance...😈

Ooh, is that avatar base available anywhere? :D

The latest pre-release of VRChat Light Volumes now includes analytical (per pixel) lights, for improved spotlights!
They look soooo much better~ ¦D

VRChat Light Volumes by @sim.red go hard as club lighting.
Nice and lightweight too~ ¦D
