FINALLY got a render of the character to the quality in my imagination. I'd paid an artist for these assets (this is my customization, there are many outfits and different styles for hair and skin), but getting this all set up in Blender with the custom mo-cap was serious effort. Calling this done.

Finally got an update for my 2D-to-3D ReShade effect, for converting games to #3D for use on the Samsung #Odyssey3D, or other stereo displays. Works like I wanted now. 100% free and open source. github.com/outmode/rend...

Made a #3D hologram of #M3GAN for Halloween. You'll need either a Looking Glass Go or the new CubeVi C1 to view this in "glasses-free" #Stereo3D (but the C1 is thankfully only $149).

Got a new asset for testing the shadows and SSGI in my @OpenGL project #Degine. Ended up looking way nicer than I expected, right out-the-box. Still lots of boring stuff to finish to get the #3D engine finished, but graphics are at least where I wanted.

got my linux box working again. had to reinstall ubuntu after the ssd died. got a new environment render in #degine with one of the props from the game.

finally got the transparency on the hair working nice on my engine. been tweaking this for months, but seems finished to me. just validating everything i have and not trying to add too many new features at this point, hoping to ship something for end of year.

got the rendering (I hope) fixed on #degine. spent the past month verifying all the #opengl shaders and found a ton of bugs. this should be how the character is supposed to look. need to complete the editor features next so i can actually start working on the game.

Had the roughness wrong. This is looking better.

Working more on the transparency for the hair (WBOIT) and seems to be at a good place. Feel like the color looks a bit different than before, so may still need some tweaking. #Degine

Hyped to be a part of this BANGER compilation of custom #3D game engines, made from scratch, WITHOUT the use of #Unity #Unreal or #Godot. Take a look at what's *actually* possible for #IndieGameDev with own technology. www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9qK...

somehow fixed this lighting bug with the transparency on my engine, totally by accident, which makes the hair integrate with the scene better. still has a few issues I need to fix, but looks a lot better than previous. #degine

got the graphics showcase for my opengl engine live. it's a submission for the 2025 gp-direct compilation video. hope to have a real-time download out soon.
