Been working on a world heartbeat effect that ripples the environment itself 🫀🏜️. So far, I've landed on a post-process effect... although ideally, I'd like the meshes to warp. WPO might work, but will likely require mesh edits for a consistent effect. 🌌 #gamedev #indie #spacetime

Some highlights from last week at the Black Hole Initiative 🌌: - You can model 3D realities in 2D space using geometric art (Penrose Spacetime diagrams). - Played with super cool black hole simulations (more accurate than Interstellar 🤯 ) and a game by Alice Bucknell! #physics #game #art #astronomy
