icy structure i did while working on Banishers which was a fun challenge, from the procedural modeling, to the shading and dissolution at the end

making slow progress
it's looking like strange organic erosion at the moment, which i'm attributing to the diffusion step used to separate short and long wavelengths

since atm i'm only advecting high frequencies but computing flow rates from both it looks like new matter gets created each tick

print tests of some of my old drawings with our new printer, they came out pretty well even on colored paper 🎉

can you spot which ones were made with Rebelle?

excitedly tried setting up some raymarching entirely within niagara using a grid2d collection, maybe I can use this on a swarm of particles to create fractals and otherwordly effects

warioware DIY nostalgia got me trying out a bunch of different game making tools and I've settled on making a little cooking/gardening game with castle.xyz

it *really* scratches the diy itch, I'm over the moon it's that exact feeling with more creative freedom
