Thought I should introduce myself 👋
Hi! I'm orels1. I'm a software engineer working in VR space.
Beyond that I also do lots and lots of tech art things, including tools and shaders for #unity3d

You can check out my stuff here: github.com/orels1, @[email protected], or twitter @orels1_

The "affected by sub-d part" essentially results in you being able to "sharpen" the edge without adding too many control loops. Also helps if you want some face to have perfectly sharp edges that dont get deformed by subdivision at all

Edge bevel weight: controls how much the bevel modifier set to "Weight" mode will affect that edge
Edge crease: controls how much that edge will be affected by Sub-D, at 1 - it will be unaffected by sub-d at all
Mark Sharp: splits the vertex normals along the edge, preventing interpolation across it

Honestly if not for vrchat friends creating a proper mental 3rd place for me - idk if i would've survived the pandemic isolation days, and the current.. everything

Unfortunately the banning issue still applies to mastodon quite a bit. Lots of servers ban anyone from single-user instances (e.g. running on your home server/ media PC) automatically so nobody can see your posts. But its at least not a single switch like on bsky

I still read mastodon.gamedev.place quite a bit, its definitely heavier on the technical side, though

Gamedev Mastodon

Mastodon server focused on game development and related topics.

Ended up buying individual tracks on iTunes: remembered that you can just buy individual real files if you go to the actual iTunes Store instead of Apple Music.
Will need to revive my beatport account for the future tho

Got a faucetwo portable, so I won’t have to go out to an arcade just to play SDVX when it gets cold here
Can really tell the quality diff between this and all the AliExpress knockoffs

Honestly the album I listened to the most this year, alongside I Love My Computer by Ninajirachi
Ended up buying lots of music from everyone who participated

Whats the best way to buy your singles? None of them are on bandcamp and I've unsubscribed from streaming services, so I'd love to just be able to buy things outright.

Maybe thats a little silly to say in a reply to this kind of post. But hey, I love your art! A while back i was consuming a lot of quake modding content, and exploring trenchbroom myself, and stumbled upon your video on Slipseer. And been stalking your art since 😅

You know its bad when people come here and then ask everyone they meet "how can you even afford to live here"
To which everyone can only say :yeah:

Blursed technology right here, and yeah I wish we just had a built-in skew
You can technically make your own via OnPopulateMesh but nothing that you can do out of the box 😔

orels1 @orels1.bsky.social · 8d

Based on how it looks - i suspect the issue is the skewed nature of the bar?
That's a neat little trick to work around that
Although in cases like these I usually just make a custom shader with a simple step(uv.x, value) or smth 😅

I think Hades 2 might be a good game, who could've predicted this 😅
