Aanand @aanand.style · 14/10/2026It’s called the Schlick Approximation because it makes Approximately everything look kind of Schlick 030 3
Aanand @aanand.style · 14/10/2026Got emission and normal maps hooked up. Water reflections/refractions look especially good. These recordings are still coming out desaturated - I promise it looks better when you play it! 230 3
Aanand @aanand.style · 09/10/2026Haven’t posted an update on my Marathon raytracing project in a while: here’s a little M2 playthrough. Diffuse lighting is looking good, and I’ve got reflection and refraction working for water too - though it’s a little hard to see through all the noise 4162 16
Aanand @aanand.style · 14/09/2026Like this is sick as hell. Maybe the game should just look like this. (Strobe warning) 240 4
Aanand @aanand.style · 12/09/2026The game is currently glitching spectacularly, thanks to me doing trigonometry by hand. Every time I play it in debug mode like this I feel an urge to keep it this way 3101 10
Aanand @aanand.style · 09/09/2026I love finding an old movie ticket in a pocket because it helps me remember what I wore to that movie. For example, now I know I wore these Engineered Garments shorts to Weapons 0100 10
Aanand @aanand.style · 09/09/2026It took ages and it’s still buggy as hell, but I got sprites to show up. Green terminal glow had a much better ROI. Also yeah I know it’s dark and grainy I’m working on it 190 9
Aanand @aanand.style · 06/09/2026I understand the Marathon probably doesn’t have spin gravity but I’ve got to show off the dynamic lighting somehow!! 290 9
Aanand @aanand.style · 05/09/2026Accidentally made a Backrooms game (motion sickness warning) 2201 20
Aanand @aanand.style · 02/09/2026So far MGS4 is exactly what I remember, but it has its moments (playboy mag + sleep grenade) 210 2
Aanand @aanand.style · 03/08/2026Forgot I screenshotted this Andor edit ages ago because they misspelled “which” in the transcription of the voiceover and I thought these stills were hilarious out of context 2131 13
Aanand @aanand.style · 30/06/2026This is going to sound obnoxious, but about 20 years ago my late godmother gifted me two Aalto stools, which have moved continents with me three times 040 4
Aanand @aanand.style · 24/05/2026I once dreamt of this popular meme, but with a crucial word removed 060 6
Aanand @aanand.style · 09/05/2026In a fitting metaphor for what the game has done to my brain, I am unable to delete the Marathon account from my recent searches 140 4
