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.

infill bug

ok it's buggy, but i did mostly get cloud scrolling working. unfortunately, it ends up breaking a lot of my optimizations (up to 25 ms per frame from 17), so i'll have to leave it on the cutting room floor for now.

i liked this intermediate state of the renderer, so i saved off a build.

ok i inlined the sampling for all upper bookended layers, and they cast drop shadows now (onto terrain only) and my new rendering function is still only at 12ms! that's really promising, net was 30 for terrain + two bookended pairs before. time to render them.

i also wanted to at least try doing screen space dithered shadows. i you could finesse this various ways, but this is a good indication of what it might feel like. i like the brightness and cleanliness of it. the light feels good but the volumes suffer, i think.

ok that's the top to bottom order of operations + all lookups + inlined interpolation for the new renderer! i just added depth test. without further optimizations we are at 15ms, just barely squeaking in to hit 60fps! about twice the performance of the previous renderer.

i thought i would take a stab at just projection for the additional primitives, which resulted in the most baroque graphical glitch

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.

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!

President Trump says Israel will have his "full backing to finish the job" of destroying Hamas if the terrorist group rejects the new peace deal.

Proud to stand with candidates like Abel Chavez and Joz Sida as we take on corporate power and fight for a California that puts working people first. #abolishice #affordablehousing #calcare #freepalesti̇ne

US invading Spain has been a bit of a concern of mine lately because no one’s sure if the orange shitface is capable of pulling it out on here after Venezuela. The circumstances with the EU might be different but Venezuela shown us that he doesn’t care about international law.

Do we need some vague promise of baby accounts in the future, or should we simply invest in our kids now?

Rep. Stansbury: "The [DOJ] is intervening on behalf of Pam Bondi to stop her from answering questions about what happened…and her conversations with Donald Trump…This is a cover-up. This will be remembered as the largest cover-up likely in American history."

Day 495 - Cutting gasoline prices 50% by 19 JAN 2026 ? Just another broken promise. This video shows trump making that promise on 10 October 2024 at the Detroit Economic Club in Detroit Michigan. He also promised to NOT allow cuts to Medicaid/Medicare, and to lower grocery prices on day 1. Nope.
