Donโ€™t sleep on Young Sherlock on Amazon Video. Itโ€™s fun smart writing and ratchets up the intensity after just a few episodes. The characters are all great and then sets are fantastic and textural.

I built a procedural medieval island map generator using Wave Function Collapse on hex grids. 4,100 cells, 900 possible states per cell, 60fps on mobile. Wrote up the whole process with lessons learned. Links below ๐Ÿ‘‡ #threejs #webgpu

What kind of #godot VFX would you like to see? I have a burning desire to constantly make new effects but I'm having a creative block.

OMG people are going to LOVE the new offset transform property in Godot 4.7!

It allows you to easily animate elements inside containers, even with the AnimationPlayer ๐Ÿ˜

The results of yesterday's livestream:

I'm currently testing localized keying for matte cleanup (please ignore the really bad depth positioning and render quality)

It's definitely not perfect because I'm approximating the foreground color with blenders inpainting node, but it shows potential

One of the first things I wrote for @puzzlingplaces.bsky.social
was a procedural color system. Every color, including all UI, is a transformation matrix instead of a RGB value. The matrix transforms 4 key colors, which allows quick generation of procedural color scheme for each puzzles

Wrote a Toon shader guide for Godot! We go over the light() function, hard shading with multiple steps and using the fresnel effect for the rim!
