i think the idea is if they lose enough money they'll hit underflow and wrap around

both of these thoughts might be deeply flawed for reasons i don't have the experience to recognize yet, i'm still learning, but if i don't get them out somewhere it is going to haunt me. and now it is done, thank you, i yield my time

my first impulse is just ('just') baking the volume mesh + slapping a realistic fake-volumetric material on the surface - but you could totally try the exact opposite, leaving it real-time and using a worse, obviously-thin material, evolving the look of PS2 light shafts with heavier dynamics

you're totally right! it's this exact thing, then instead of doing raymarching, you'd branch off here and do ~something else~ with this mesh
....i'm trying really hard to resist learning new things until i have a few more of my projects finished, and this is making that harder

i haven't caught up with half-edge in a while, it looks fantastic now!
freya's tools have always been some of the best in class
and yeah, same!!! hell, i wish i could fund that. if someone could put another few hours in my day that'd be fantastic

and i mean specifically level editors that just let you play with shapes and space
on the unity side, probuilder and umodeler basic have Tremendous Issues whenever i use 'em
(umodeler x might be good?)
realtimecsg is awesome, but its evolution chisel is (understandably) stuck on the backburner rn

there's scythe for UE folks
and trenchbroom if you really wanna marry yourself to quake designs?
and that's most of it?
everything else i'm aware of is in some half-dormant half-alive purgatory state
it's just wild there aren't more resources being given to trying to solve this

i don't know!! it feels like most of our research went into creating 'true' volumetrics with raymarching, instead of designing increasingly fucked up tech around light meshes
just because one method looks "objectively superior" or whatever boring justification we can name

To be super clear - I'm just talking about ways to automate this process instead of manually creating these meshes (or kitbashing from a set of preset shapes)

Like could you just do the opposite of stencil shadow volumes? Someone must have tried this before.
