another awkward thing in #godot
passing things from void fragment() into void light()
seems like there's no way to avoid redundantly sampling textures if they're used in both.

another complaint about #godot
-because we love complaining about free software-
is that when you convert a material to a shader,
it gives it a random name/suffix,
even though, it was associated with a sub-mesh that had a unique name (ie, "body", "face", etc)

the worst thing about #godot by far,
is the workflow after importing a glb / 3d model.
i'm still hopeful, since any year now, it should be a reliable tool that doesn't freeze or crash frequently,
but the 3d asset workflow is cursed.
everything wants to be immutable and is broken by default

Unpopular opinion:
JavaScript and webgl is still a better development medium / authoring environment
compared to native apps and game engines.
GLSL is a little different from Godot shaders but we can make a transpiler and use Godot as a build target for webgl apps instead of the other way round

I had a dream last night that the Walmart supercenter was one of the tectonic plates and it was being pulled into the Earth, crumbled slightly, squeezed underneath a train station also coated in tar, which was the dominant organism.
Lost souls would be trapped in the metal framework of the roof.🚇🏗️

@koujaku.bsky.social what do you think about WebXR?
Is it cursed?
it seems like it should have been supported everywhere by now.
should i just write a native openxr app that has browser-like functionality in it, and then profit / declare victory?

evolving into a state manager for **sets of** vertices, but also vertex groups.
This helps with collecting 🦴 bones / their associated vertex groups while editing an armature,
searching vertex groups (and pinning groups)
and then merging multiple groups into 1

Medium.com -for anyone who doesn't know- has an AI image problem.
Especially since this is where "professionals" talk about professional things, and these authors can't be bothered even to edit an AI image to make the text correct in it

adding a "bone bookmark / filter" system into #blender Vertex Tools, so it's easy to quickly select certain vertex groups relevant to those bones.

#unity #shaderlab toon shader idea:
1. rim light -> quantize colors;
2. soften quantized rim light + balance colors by max()ing color channels a bit with eachother.
3. add second, un-quantized rim light added on top

being able to quickly see the aggregate of much vertex groups affect multiple vertices at once.
