Continues to be wild to me that my company makes amazing music and videos like this with the people (and demons) that live in my computer.

DASHR - Dynamically Animated Skinned Heightfield Rendering

A new rendering algo that lets you merge a whole bunch of ShaderToy and raytracer-style techniques right into your existing bone-animated triangle mesh rasterisation pipeline.

New longer technical details video:

I had an Old Man Moan over on Bluesky - I'm sure no news to anyone here.

But I'm looking for examples of tools that let you livecode shaders with a lot more artist-friendly integration - mouse-clicky sliders, colour wheel selectors, etc. We have plenty for middle-aged demoscene coders. But I'm sure I've seen some for non-Scandiwegians - I just can't remember where. Ideas?

Been thinking about voice sounds for the Game I Will Never Actually Finish. Has anybody done a good talk on doing Simlish-like voices? So - record a bunch of gibberish, then map it to the text in a semi-reasonable way such that it doesn't sound wildly off?

I think I've finished both my paper and the demo to go with it! Some lovely preview feedback with some great advice - really tidied the paper up. Now I just need to do the explanatory video. Which means having to listen to & edit my own voice. Ugh.

Went to visit a chimp sanctuary today. It seems like a lovely place, and they really try to give these chimps a nice home after the terrible times they have had in other places.

A great day at the track introducing my friend Jouan to the joys of a full-on racing Caterham.

Watching a TV show about kids doing dumb shit when they had nothing else to do and my wife asked me if I ever did that and I said "yeah I used to climb over Westminster Abbey" and she was like WAT WE HAVE BEEN MARRIED A THIRD OF A CENTURY AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME and I was like - it just didn't come up.

Randomly heard this track again after a long time. Celebrating Tim Curry's scenery-eating performance all over again.
