lol @steampowered.com for asking me to prove I’m over 18 **when my literal account is** 🤦

Someone has been making my day on my morning dog walks lately! Thanks mystery person!

Making friends in Holyrood park this morning.
A photo of a small porcelain pig that has been set into the mortar of a stone wall. Only the head is visible.

If you happen to have a decent real camera. Then I highly recommend this doing this:

Oh, God. Should… should somebody tell them?

Back to the particles today! Got the system all hooked up to real-time audio input for "ListenState" which now outputs audio spectrum info! I've found that the state machine is really helping to manage complexity now.

One of the cool things about shifting my particle simulation wholly to compute is that I can decide *exactly* which kernels to dispatch. This means: particle state machine!

Worked on porting some of the Unity VFX graph functions to custom compute shaders today! Very early days but I'm quite happy with my versions of sphere attractor and turbulence so far!

Back to work with some particle VFX for an upcoming PuzzleDust project! Today I had some fun with SDFs...

The yellow paint is real!
A photo of a gate along a British footpath. The mechanism used to open and close it has been painted bright yellow.

Xia is NOT happy I’m still working…
A photo of my remote working setup (a laptop propped up on boxes and a mechanical keyboard) desk. Next to the laptop and looking particularly angry is a fluffy black cat.

Back to playing with swarm simulations for an as yet undisclosed game project. Trying to model the idea of a devouring swarm of Von Neumann cubes... This time I decided to move away from flocking (boids) and try playing with curl noise. I think the motion here "feels better"! #madewithunity #vfx

Thought I'd post a bit of older work transferred from the _other_ site... Here's one of a few physarum (slime mold) simulations that I created a while ago. 3 million agents using a novel algorithm that changes the search range as the amount of "scent" increases. #madeinunity #compute #vfx

Making progress on an idea to try and create a "living liquid" effect. Decided to play around with Unity's HDRP post process volumes to see how far you can push screen space techniques to fake fluids. Custom compute for the particles themselves, still. #technicalart #madewithUnity

Got a lovely shot of the hound last night!
A photo of my dog, Brock. He’s a black Labrador, German shepherd cross and is staring up at the sky. In the background a bright green and red aurora can be seen.
