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)

bypassing the lighting system in #godot works fairly well

The next mystery / intriguing aspect is that this is referred to as a "helmet",
But the cables go directly through where a human head would be..

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.

multiple stages of
rim lighting, quantization, max()ing and more rim lighting..
interestingly, it's almost a toon edge effect.
using uvs instead of normals to calculate rim lighting seems interesting too.. altho that seems finicky / very camera angle dependent wrt if the gradient is nice.

#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
