Spent the last few days cycling around Sparta in Wisconsin with the wife and in-laws. We finished a satisfying 50 mile ride from Bangor to the burnt out bridge outside Trempealeau. Now we’re heading north of Duluth in Minnesota to ride mountain bikes at Goosebury state park! 😅

Hoping to drop a couple of big features for @basisvr.org soon… 1) Tracker puck/chip support for Props 2) Creating an optimised motion driver that replaces Animators for cosmetic/secondary movements (e.g. ear twitching, tail wagging). Huge frame-time savings at 1000 CCU.
