I am a 3D designer and server administrator at groovyverse.com We offer a fun, peaceful community. It is open source and based on Second Life. Everyday people can create beautiful things and landscapes, explore, meet new people, listen to live music, dance at parties... sailing, mountain biking... blow up coastal villages with pirate cannons (the houses grow back) It's weird. It's fun. Join us!
Some new projects at GroovyVerse. I made an amazing night sky, if I may say so myself! lol We built a shrine / grotto, and plan to have nightly Goddess devotionals. It is a short Pagan religions service, with a few readings/affirmations. And then we share and give thanks for the blessings in our lives. It is a nice practice, whatever religion you observe, and really puts things in perspective.
Trans goals: I want to do voice training so I can scream like a girl. We're going to a concert in August. lol
We had another wonderful party at GroovyVerse! A really good turnout, and got to slow dance with my hun. <3
An earlier creation. I seriously need a chair like this in RL. :)
Panoramic "SkyHenge" Mastodon doesn't do 360 but it looks cool anyway. :)
Just completed Club GroovyVerse in Second Life. Just do a place search for "groovy" There are two matches. There is a severe lack of grooviness, which we hope to remedy.
This week I learnt about SDFs and 🤯 I'm surprised they're not more broadly talked about. Apparently they're common knowledge for #UI but they can be a #VFX artist's best friend too!
You can have crisp images in big resolutions with a 32x32px texture that use 1kb!! This does wonders for #optimization in #gamedev.
Joyrok wrote a great article that explains how they work and how they can be used: https://joyrok.com/What-Are-SDFs-Anyway
Even with #UE4 examples!
And you know what the wildest thing is? They've been around for ages! https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/apps/valve/2007/SIGGRAPH2007_AlphaTestedMagnification.pdf
Probably pushing things by uploading a video. I am learning :)
This is a test post from a new mastodon instance.
