"His Dark Materials", by Philip Pullman.
I re-covered it a few weeks ago, but I can't remember which wood species I used. Oak maybe ? I'm so bad at identifying it afterwards. :/
Feel free to enlighten me if you know better, you wood-savvy people !

A book is held in hand, facing light. A brass title plate reads "Philip Pullman - His Dark Materials". The cover is wood, with a spine of dark-blue floral-patterned leather.
A gold colored bookmark is visible on the bottom edge.

Is there any tutorial or ressource you would recommend to learn more about geonodes as a gamedev tool ?
chaabs.bsky.social
That seems to be exactly the sort of tool I should look into ! Thanks a lot for the recommandation :D
chaabs.bsky.social
Oooh good one ! I've been neglecting GNs and only recently (as in, literally yesterday ) started really looking into them.

When it comes specifically to data management, do you feel like they have replaced the need for python scripts ?

✨Hey all you lovely #techart / #rendering / #shader / #vfx / #Unity peeps or generalists!✨
I have a bunch of free time coming my way, so...
What are some tools or tutorials that helped you level up?
( I was thinking of getting into the JangaFX suite, but couldn't really find any documentation 🫠 )
chaabs.bsky.social
Thanks, I'd say I'm approximately... nowhere near done.😎

Hey, thanks for asking ! I'm writing a cozy fantasy story wherein a socially anxious, kleptomaniac woman investigates the disappearance of her gifted magician of a sister.
It features lots of paperwork, quite a bit of apricot jam, and at least one mossy wall. 😊
chaabs.bsky.social
I don't think it does, but I might be blind to some of it ! I feel like it allows me to go straight to the point of a scene, rather than get lost in the prose... Which is a big problem for me. ( Um... without this OneSimpleTrick, my WIP would be 80% flowery descriptions of mossy stone walls. )

Best of luck to you !
chaabs.bsky.social
Thank you, kind stranger ! Best of luck to you, and may all your rough drafts get unstuck eventually :D
chaabs.bsky.social
I have the hardest time getting out of my own way and writing ugly and needed 1st draft words.
After two years of work on my novel, I've just realized that this problem disappears if I shift tenses. Present tense for 1st draft, past tense for final prose. Absolute magic.

Just a heads up to search LibGen itself, not use the Atlantic's site. My books didn’t pop up under the latter

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.
Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI
Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

As the lucky owner of a few of Julien's works, I can be weird about the stuff he's way too humble about.

Namely : how soft and smooth the wood covers are. I mean, it's wood?! It shouldn't make me want to take a nap?! And yet! I want to touch them forever! 🥹

( Also books make great gifts. )

An old wooden table is covered by a mix of items such as old looking books, a pirate treasure map, a spyglass, parchments and rings.
In the middle lies a heavy grimoire with a red spine, black locust cover, and closed by a loop of rope. The image is a montage of four pictures each showing a different book, illustrating my work.
The top-left one is a "Frankenstein", by Mary Shelley, rebound in red and black floral leather spine, walnut cover, and copper title plate.
The top-right one is a closup on a "Horus Rising", by Dan Abnett, rebound in black leather spine, dark walnut cover, and two brass plates : a background one shows piles of skulls, while the front one is engraved with the book title.
The bottom-left one is "The Call of Cthlhu and Other Weird Stories", by HP Lovecraft, rebound in an olive leather spine, darkened oak cover, and a large, elaborated brass title plate.
Finally, the bottom-right one is a "Dracula", by Bram Stoker, rebound in red/black semi-gliterring leather spine, dark walnut cover, and copper title plate. A simple blank guestbook with an ash tree cover, a brown floral leather spine, and a brass title plate showing my commercial name "Relics-of-Reveries" and my own logo : a harpy-like creature in an irregular circle.

The front of a book. The cover is dark walnut, the spine red and black leather embossed with a floral pattern. A copper plate reads "Mary Shelley - Frankenstein".
The book is open of its first page, showing a piece of red and black leather with a red  flyleaf.
The book is held open, and shows the randomly choosen Chapter 8.
The book lays flat and closed, on a dark fabric.
