I'm now completely happy with the effect, all the bugs, errors and jumpiness are gone! I'm 100% on this, no weirdness, no oddness, everything works from all the angles I'd ever want. All done in camera!

I've officially been staring at this too long. I have no idea if it's good or not anymore. 🙁 The blend from Cloaking to Not Cloaked is still too abrupt, more work needed. These shots were chosen to sort of showcase the "worst case" scenarios of the technique I'm using. 4K in 🧵!

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

⚠️ Chinese researchers have invented bone glue that mimics how oysters stick to surfaces underwater.

The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable.

Heyo! Further Romulan Cloak tests - multiple angles, with textures this time!

Hey! I literally just spent $2000 on a professional Unity dev's time to get this ready for further updates and release! This is very much an ongoing concern. :D

Okay, my first try of doing a totally in-camera, single-layer, one-pass Star Trek Cloaking effect. Rough, but has promise! (3DSMax and VRay)

Might be a couple more small things I catch and tweak, but here is a full render of it: the rad suit configuration with mag boots and EVA helmet from #StarTrek VI, made for @howieeday.bsky.social - Klingon diplomats beware! Probably like 86% accurate to the movie ones.

(WIP) Strong version of Epicenter. This one is a (slow) antiair and can hit knocked down enemies. Screen shake-less version below.

Mockup thumbnail-sketch render for a planned shot showing off my Star Trek EVA suit, doing some work on the hull of a Miranda-class. Intentionally in very bad/warbly quality to not give the impression that anything is final. The Miranda and suit are by me, the Workbee is @herda.me's amazing model.

A blurry, warbly 3D test render of a scene shot from a low camera angle with a small focal length, just above the surface of the hull of a Miranda-class Federation vessel from Star Trek, with a person in an EVA suit in the center of the frame, a bright yellow Workbee floating to the side, and the 'rollbar' of the Miranda class looming overhead.

Neon Navikea - typical dry cargo freighter designed to service colonies without extensive spacing infrastructure. The engine, as insane as it sounds, is a real though somewhat tenuous NASA proposal.

Lots of updates - Timing adjustments, Sparks and flame improvements, I added more debris, and debris/shield interactions, as well as adding Romulan Disruptor fire and SOUNDS! I'm quite happy with how this ended up looking.

Had some time to do more Aisha moves. This time it's her medium Epicenter special move, which causes a knockdown on nearby standing enemies. Screen shake-less version in the post below.
