Just got back from Revision demoparty—my 64KB intro took 1st place. Huge thanks to @alkama.bsky.social for the audio work that made this possible. It’s a fully procedural 3:40 animation packed into a 58KB executable. I had a blast building it, and the audience reaction was incredible.

A colleague sent me this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jVo... No further comments needed, it's **very** good. I've seen some of his videos in the past, but I missed this one. Glad I saw it.

"Order and disorder." probably my last take at #genuary26, uses a 3D pathfinder to go from neatly ordered stacks to a random layout. #genuary2615 BTW, I'm available for freelance work (2 days a week for now). HIRE ME, I'm GOOD (& CHEAP! 😁) also ok with collabs, mentoring, Q&As, AMA...

Went to see the latest Avatar (HFR) with my boy and...: Does my gamer/gfx brain see fps differenty then Cameron's brain? The movie is both 24 and 48fps, it jumps between and this switch makes 24fps look extremely laggy! It looks so disturbing that some people MUST perceive fps differently then me.

A new blog post on our N64 demo: 30fps.net/pages/palett... It explains the normal mapping technique and how baked lighting was stored and composited at runtime. Also reveals what a hack the specular effects were!

Lighting decomposition. The six panes show different parts of the baked and runtime lighting.

A roof tile texture compression example. An RGB diffuse texture and a normal map are both compressed to a 16-color palette image in a way that palette indices are shared. Therefore the actual image data has to be stored just once at 4 bits per pixel.

In case you ever need to work with GLTF(GLB) this will come handy. Found it here github.com/gltf-rs/gltf here's a pdf version: www.khronos.org/files/gltf20... and I think this originate here : github.com/javagl/gltfO...

Continued some coding at home last night and now at the office I realized that I forgot to push. It was good work so I'll better go back. Lessons learned: 1. Don't forget to push? (how? tattoo? poster to front door?) 2. Forget to push = stay is shape 3. Don't work at home? 4. Don't work at office?

Hi Bluesky! With the sudden closure of Jumpship, I'm looking for a new role I'm looking for anywhere I can make beautiful things with code, my ideal role would be a mix of graphics programming, technical art, and gameplay programming (or anything else interactive)
