I almost NEVER post birdsite tweets here but, you guys, if you're #graphics / #graphicsprogramming#4k nerds, you've just gotta read this awesome discussion around why the stars in The Martian don't look right in the 4K release!
Anyone know of work on visualizing simplicial complexes in 3D? Laying out edges, triangles, and tetrahedra, etc. I'm thinking something along the lines of the work on graph layout and visualizing #networks, but doing it in 3D, and for simplicial complexes and hypergraphs/#HigherOrderNetworks.
Check out this video where I logon to my BBS using an Atari Mega STe, complete with #pixelart image of Kirk, Spock and the Guardian of Forever in IGS format. 🎨
I just discovered this #Swift and #Metal based #graphics framework inspired by ThreeJS called Satin. Looks really cool!
I always thought Swift (and Apple-frameworks) could be a good fit for #creativecoding, but nobody really made something in the vein of ThreeJS, Processing or openFrameworks.
The author wants to keep working on it and keep it publically, but is struggling to justify it since it takes up so much work. If the project does not meet it’s sponsor goals within this summer it will be made only accessible to sponsors. So I really hope it get’s sponsors so that can happen!
Have you fine Mastodon folks seen this awesome work?
First ever raytraced game thats not software? 1080p realtime, interactive, fixed+float point, 3D vector math, no CPU, no instructions, autopipelined in #FPGA! @suarezvictor's fantastic work w/ CflexHDL + PipelineC! #raytracing#graphics#hardware#gamedev#hdl#verilog#vhdl#eda
It's time for an #introduction ... As a scientific and #graphics#programmer I worked on the Human #Genome Project, the Mars Observer Camera that discovered water on #Mars, #Apple Computer, and several startups.
Then I took a 20 year break from programming, during which I retrained first as an aquatic bodyworker.
Then, I started a community #solar#nonprofit, the Solar Gardens Institute. I even got to speak at the Obama White House.
