math fact:

the dual of an octopus is eight more octopuses

in the other news, I think I more or less understand dual contouring now

@aeva is that a makeup thing?

aeva,

@tess no, but in a way, yes (if you substitute powders and goop for triangle soup, and you substitute the flesh of the living for an implicit surface function)

@aeva so... no then

@tess look, you do your makeup your way and I'll do mine my way

@aeva Nice, I'm thinking about trying that out some time since I don't quite like what I'm getting from marching cubes in my current project.

How much pain was involved in getting things working/understood?

aeva,
@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@beeoproblem to give an inappropriately literal answer, chronic cervicogenic headaches, fatigue, whatever the hell is going on in my back, and an inability to get more than 5 hours of sleep most nights. Thankfully though, all that is merely involved and not caused by dual contouring.

I haven't started on the implementation, I've just been reading to figure out what all I need to build. Gist is, you stuff everything into an octree, generate its dual, toss out some edges, and push verts around.

@beeoproblem I figure I'll write something up once I get it working.

@aeva I'll keep an eye out for it. Thanks

@aeva I thought I understood it, but then a few days ago I read the algorithm again and realised I was thinking of something else.
