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

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

If you have the voxels used to construct the ”seed shell” you can flip all distances that overlaps with them.

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

I really like the shapes and shadows I can make with this. #gamedev #vulkan

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
