I think its the effect you also see on clouds when looking along with the light. Its the opposite of the silver lining. There is not enough medium to scatter the light often enough to send much back into the view direction or "pick up" color.

A tweet from Trump that reads “All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter”

ahhhhhhhhhh

Its not as much the quality here (shaders should yield the same results on all hardware) as the instruction sets. Because hardware manufacturers cannot easily support a single standard, the developers are forced to compile shaders on your machine instead of in advance as they do on console.

Yeah, it was nice to almost recover over the holidays from the bioterrorism that's daycare. Full hazmat seems wise!

This is what we do at Guerrilla:

- Bilinear upsample the mip to original res
- Find the bin in the histogram of the upsampled mip where the coverage matches the original
- Scale the mip's values to move that bin to whatever cutoff you use

Works with regular alpha and SDF.

My new Emotion Mixer is doing great out in the wild, and I can’t wait to hear back how people make use of it. It’s designed as a tool to bring emotional richness to your creations, for example by creating an emotion palette to amplify and aestheticize the emotional experience. More: emotionmixer.com

I had exactly this problem. Now I limit sleeping videos to crafts people (especially blacksmithing) and geopolitics (can listen with eyes closed). So those two categories will trigger sleepiness 😅
