OmniEdge Add-on, WIP
Preparing some examples for the release (still a few weeks out).
Cycles renderings – not nearly as fast as EEVEE, but pretty...

OmniEdge add-on, WIP
"Constant Screen Size" in action!
Shown here: three Starlink shells, GPS, GLONASS, Intelsat, Galileo, and Iridium.
All lines scale and animate entirely on the GPU in real-time.

OmniEdge add-on, WIP
Small update: custom attributes can drive line size.
In this case, curvature is calculated in a separate Geometry Nodes setup, then read by the OmniEdge modifier. Preliminary UI layout also visible.

OmniEdge add-on, WIP
Edges interact with shadows, reflections, etc.
Even better - Lights see them as constant-sized!

Outlines are slightly thinner, but it works. Sunlight shadows (since parallel) only show correctly in ortho cams. Can’t have it all...

OmniEdge add-on, WIP update:
Now fully dynamic - no preprocessing, all in GeoNodes/shaders.
Outlines + sharp edge profiles + constant screen size + exponential falloff (prevents fat lines in the distance).

OmniEdge add-on work in progress.
Screen-space billboards - also zero cost.
All real-time calculations are handled in an EEVEE shader..

Screen-space lines with miters and UVs, zero cost. All real-time processing runs in an EEVEE shader.

Add-on will be called OmniEdge - and once set up, everything works without the add-on installed.

One more try – 10× faster, 60 fps with 12k edges.
Screen-space edge scaling still the bottleneck..

Something I built in the last weeks (from scratch) – the pressure control mechanism works really well..

Rhino + Grasshopper C# for the GCode, CNCjs / MKS DLC + Grbl as controller

Experimenting with hybrid rendering techniques - getting closer to a consistent workflow. It's a mix of Blender Cycles and Stable Diffusion 1.5

Another small showcase for modules (coming in v1.2)
This time Third Person in walk mode + Zoom + AutoFocus

The add-on parses the module folder on load, so everyone can add more modules..

Update 1.2 will introduce Modules!
Here the 'Third Person' module in action.

Modules are itegrated into the add-on but are file-based - so they can be changed / updated on the fly.

Testing some small UserScripts for the 1.2 release of OmniStep.. (soon!)

Simple autofocus with raycasting and damping.

One step further - same base mesh, but with some modifiers on top..
Still runs at 60 fps

(You need OmniStep v1.1 to run it)

Real-time Verlet Physics in Blender - made with OmniStep UserScripts.
It's far from optimized, but works surpisingly well..

A Path Tracer in Geometry Nodes!
Just for fun and learning geo-nodes

And of course #omnistep to walk around..

Made it into a proper LaserScanner UserScript - works with cycles and any camera projection. Might have some use-case in VFX work..

Not sure if it's a good strategy, but it looks cool - live point cloud capture from the viewport. This could be streamed to an AR app without needing geometry or shaders.

The idea is to let OmniStep use the phone as a virtual camera in AR.

Testing off-screen buffer rendering for upcoming OmniStep features in AR/VR.

The plan is to stream low-resolution/framerate point clouds to an AR app on the phone and receive spatial data in return. The first step is to capture the viewport.

Had to make this sooner or later… OmniStep + NLA trigger Userscript, all in real-time.

And by the way - Update v1.1 is out!

HeadBob Animation - another UserScript for the upcoming v1.1 update. Will be hardcoded in the future..

The script writes one animated property to the camera, the rest is native blender constrains, f-curve modifiers and drivers.

One step further - set up with custom object properties, triggered by the player with a UserScript, and read/written as NLA strips.
Sample for the upcoming v1.1 update..

Generic solution for doors and animations - just set the NLA Track Name and Action. The rest is handled with custom Object Properties.
This can trigger any action..
Sample for the upcoming v1.1 update.
