along with other things, i got a procedural "unspecific fleshy organic meat material" done today.
it actually balances well between appalling and morbidly fascinating.
i'm proud of it!
yay for horror materials on 🥳 halloween month 💀

[a screenshot of a fleshy looking material with lighter pieces bulging out of dark red areas. there are darker patches that look like veins running through the lighter areas. it looks unspecific and could also just be polished red rock. either way it's fittingly gross.](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/111/180/828/240/308/310/original/7dff66a6131f8b6b.png)
[another screenshot of a fleshy material. it looks very meaty.](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/111/180/828/562/096/635/original/7151f387aff870b7.png)
idk how anatomically correct it is but i did it!
i made my first still beating heart!
material is animated. it's nice & flexible too... like you can change the color and roughness of the flesh so the same texture can be used in other... fleshy cases.
yay for 3d horror elements!

[A video panning around a 3D heart. The heart is slightly beating and looks fleshy. It's very disturbing. There are veins all around it... It looks relatively anatomically correct. The video starts from inside the heart and than pans out, and circles around it.](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/111/184/661/057/433/781/original/5885bcca89cfedcb.mp4)
TIL about linear color space RGBA. It's a good space where addition and multiplication work on colors. It's less fun when it jumps out and surprises you by changing your color values.
Here, you can see my struggle in this montage of failure. #shaders#bevy
This is truly absurd and delightful. The "first human computed shader". You are assigned a pixel, given the equation, and need to show your handwritten manual calculation of its RGB value.
"405 different people have been computing pixels by hand for 4 days"
big moment! got all the assets for the center of the open world, the neighborhood, placed! all the houses, trees, grasses, details... it's beautiful too. just tweaking some of the performance now (making sure all LOD's are setup and stuff)...
At this point I have about 100 mods installed (via Vortex, via SteamTinkerLaunch) and some new shaders in OpenMW and this 2002 game is looking mighty sweet, if'n I do say so myself.
I'm a moderate Modder. I don't particularly like vast HD texture overhauls that give everything noisy 'grain' at the expense of the under-stated original look but in some cases they can work wonders, like in the armour you see in the second screenshot I've posted.
I bloody love OpenMW's new Shader capability, though. God-rays suit Morrowind thematically. The enhanced point-source lighting is MWAH. And those Mist/Fog shaders do absolute wonders for the atmosphere of the game. It's so great being on a mountain peak and suddenly a whole area vanishes as the mist thickens...
Ready for opening! At TaKe Sushibar in #Palma, "A Life Cycle" will evolve on the Mediterranean island during the next 4 months. Very much looking forward to see some good old friends. #algorithmicart#MastoArt#shaders#slowArt
Take a look at this project by Runi: a preliminary language server for WGSL. IMO this is one of the biggest barriers in making graphics programming genuinely approachable: I'd love to see this catch on!
