A cursed quail. I think too much about databases.

I've been scraping the metro transit GTFS feed for about 36 hours and it's kind of lovely to see the activity ebb and flow over the course of the day

would you believe that I've never done this before? (hello triangle with vulkan)

a multicolored triangle, the kind you would get from running through the basics of the vulkan tutorial

it really is this meme IMO. I think it takes seeing the outputs "live" for it to really click. Auto-instrumentation just doesn't know your domain.

well would you look at that, something's wrong with how lights work or something else with reflection, anyway.

Long time no outputs. I've been busy with other stuff. Lots of things to criticize in here - clearly I'm not handling transmission correctly (the sphere should be glass), and the reflection from the cube should be perfect and isn't. The teapot is way too bright, and the shadows are way too harsh.

Huge shout-out to @daisylovesart.bsky.social for this piece - it turned out amazing and is exactly what I wanted!

and we're back with more funky images. Currently trying to wrap my brain around the SimplePathIntegrator from pbrt - it's such a huge jump from a random walk integrator

Well clearly something is messed up I've changed the scene so it's entirely closed, which means rays will always bounce as many times as they can. I think this shows I'm weighting the results of bounces too highly.
