I'll be in the bay area this weekend if any mutuals want to say hi.

Also will be attending BLFC in Reno next week -- probably going to be stuck in A/V but feel free to say hi if you see me!

*raymarch result is precomputed and saved to a 256x256 lookup texture. So at runtime it can just grab the right value directly for any ray. Haven't profiled it yet but it should be fast? probably??

feels pretty illegal for this to not be raymarching*.

* - raymarching is done for the initial LUT

Micca @lomg.fyi · 18d

not light volumes, not raymarching*, not projectors

Question Mark

xkcd.com/3143/

Comic. PERSON 1: That movie was so good. Maybe even the greatest movie of all time question mark? PERSON 2: Yeah comma, but you said that about italics *Charlie’s Angels Colon: Full Throttle* period. Paragraph break. I question your judgement period. [caption] When people say “question mark” out loud as a rhetorical device, it always makes me want to say my other punctuation and formatting too.

Here's the slide I made about the binary gridnode earlier this year

The biggest note here is on the unity side I'm converting the binary grid into a float texture for faster sampling using a conversion shader -- you can then sample with readbacks without too much headache as normal.

That should be fine! I'm pretty busy but feel free to reach out on discord [just 'micca']

Micca @lomg.fyi · 24d

This is how we were ensuring sync between DJ, VJ, LD, and VFX people during live sets.

Hopefully we'll be able to automate this in the future because _oh boy_ it's a thing.

Updated poster for Stage Flight tomorrow!

Due to scheduling and staff availability, we're swapping the canceled set with a replay Wylderness's excellent Deinysia set.

See you soon. <3

Hey guys

Unfortunately Warned1 will not be performing tomorrow at Stage Flight.

He's asked to step away from his performance out of respect for the event.

We'll have an updated schedule ASAP

A left over serial port header. I wanted to put openwrt on it [an open source firmware], but it has signature checking so I needed to do some manual hacking to get it to boot.

Router firmware updates are so easy now-a-days!

Router opened up, three wires soldered to two headers and a piece of metal for ground. Serial port nonsense is happening.
