i'm working on getting the new renderer to match the tuning set for the old renderer now. this handles color differently, at present- it's all precomputed + bitwise math. i'm going to explore haze (or hazeless looks) with this, but if i'm not content i'll go back to more on-the-fly color.

today i'm doing generative work. i have two heights of bridges, and i'm going to add higher bridges as well. i'm also going to work on special cases for how bridges connect to buildings and walls. i really like the compound curves around these 1st floor ones, and i want to continue that language.

messing with dithering a bit more. i kind of want to try this with stricter color restrictions. i don't think i want to dither the colors though, just the shadows?

ok i got individual layer colors working with precomputed! (actual colors are messed up at present.) i don't yet know if this is actually faster than the other approach. it depends where the bottlenecks are. if array lookups are where it's binding, then this is no better. if it's per ray math, good.

there we go, the special cases for tall buildings are working for all permutations. they get quite thin and lacy when enough bridges connect to one building!

trying some interesting bitwise color manipulation tricks

with this approach to color, one thing that's a little tricky is haze. here's a first pass. normally i'd have channels stored separately, and i could perform per-channel operations and combine. but as a stylistic decision / self-imposed challenge i'm seeing how feasible it is to do it without.

yeah i find i am putting a lot of thought into hovering /just/ on the edge of ambiguity. do shadows eat information, how crisp are the edges, is that a house etc. here are some color things i'm messing with for you! this is randomized shadow masks.

i maybe found a hazeless tuning set i like. it's not 100% but there is something there.

Local elections should be about local government. Some parties what to distract you from what actually matters: who will do the work. Lib Dems win more councillors every year, win more by-elections, and defend more seats - because we actually deliver for people. #votelibdem

When you have a president who's running the country like a mob boss instead of a government, who's running the government for himself, of himself, and by himself, and for his cronies, instead of the people, by the people,and for the people,there's only one solution,and that's impeachment and removal
