Raymarching The Gunk
How the raymarched slime was developed for the game The Gunk.

I've written an article for my webpage on how the raymarcher for The Gunk was made! jarllarsson.github.io/gen/gunkraym...

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Sega Rally 95. Used to play it together with my sister like once a year at an inn on the way to our grandparents. Very nostalgic. 🙂

Separated buffers for opaque- and fog volumes. I like how this is coming together! The subtle contact shadow from the fog is nice. Next up: also draw opaques into the shadow volume and then get material- and colour support to the buffers. #vulkan #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

Moved my render stages around to be able to sample the volumetric froxel fog shadows in the fragment shader as well. (exaggerated shadows in video) 🔵⚫🦖 #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #vulkan #renderer #raymarcher

Morning thoughts about "AI".
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
![Thoughts about “AI”
Yes it’s:
The slop
The theft
The brainrot
The loss of work
The crumbling of creator rights
The destroying of the environment and infrastructure
But it's also the destroying of trust in anything that you’re not seeing with your own eyes right in front of you.
Wonder now turned to the narrowing of eyes in immediate scepticism seeing something magical.
Questioning the realness of everything from a stilted written apology to profound works by students in school.
It feels like a slow poison to creativity and humanity at large.

Ok but the cake goes to Visual Studio that will shove a "please rate" in my face while not being able to render a menu bar properly at the same time.
Did things always worked this badly or am I geting old?

I've been moving all my volumetric lighting from the main raymarcher into frustum space - in a "froxel" volume cube.
Now the lighting is 🏎️💨 , so I can afford to make it softer and cast longer shadows. It runs in 60fps @ 4K on an RTX 2070 S.
I'm really starting to like the look of it! 🙂 #vulkan

Dumping a bunch of recordings of interesting looking glitches and debugging I've done the last weeks while implementing dda and froxel volume for my raymarcher. #vulkan

Going to try out DDA to "sparsen up" my voxel field. My hope is that it is simple and fast to implement, without having to dive into with something more complicated for now. First test just rendering the blocks. Delightfully glitchy look.

Finally got around to integrate #DearImGui into something! Up and running 1.92 in my Vulkan renderer. I'm in dire need of it atm. 😅

..hold on
in the recent unreal coordinate system switch, did.. did they straight up, change the *basis* to {Z,X,Y} ??
are vector3 tuples now in {Z,X,Y} order?
are vector2 tuples now using a {Z,X} basis?? 😭

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!"
And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.
