A little tribute to the legendary Commodore 64, made using the MagicaCSG SDF 3D editor. I've got fond childhood memories of that 8-bitter. I had a Commodore 128, which included C64 hardware, and I was mainly playing games and listening to SID chiptunes in C64 mode. 🙂 #commodore #C64 #RetroComputing
An iconic simplification of the 8-bit Commodore 64 computer from the 1980s.

Great! I think that's ok, if you look at how the official release is packaged, the DLL is also next to the EXE. blog.chordian.net/sf2. Do you have a Github account? I could add you so you can make a PR, or you can send the patch some other way.

I did start a sort of ‘alpha release channel’ to be able to release my tweaking faster. It now has fullscreen support and a c64 font (more text on screen) if you’re interested.

I am afraid an official release is not coming soon because of, well, life. The drivers are really Thomas’s territory because they are a careful trade off between features and efficiency. You can always share your tweaks of course and develop your own drivers.

Ease in vibrato sounds cool. I usually use 2 commands to go from slight vibrato to heavier vibrato over time. Is it something like that?

Well I only marginally work on it, the good stuff is really all done by Thomas (Laxity). I wonder why you can’t export. Probably the meta data doesn’t line up with your changes anymore?

Celebrated Navajo (Diné) artist Marilou Schultz recently completed a striking weaving. Although this rug may appear abstract, it is a representation of the wiring inside an integrated circuit. It shows the 555 timer, said at one point to be the world's most popular IC. Let's take a closer look...
A Navajo weaving hanging on a wall. The pattern appears abstract: thick white lines in varying directions on a black background. There are some reddish-orange diamonds near the edges, as well as a few thin outlined rectangles. There are three larger squares with a double-H pattern inside. Overall, the pattern looks a bit like an aerial view of roads in a strange ancient city. Thanks to First American Art Magazine for this photo.

TL;DR; Just make sure you put the correct shapes in the right proportions in their proper positions. Then add detail, color and shading and make it look good.
