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?

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.

oh! that was an unexpected bug. i was just going to do dithered shadows and i ended up with... i think it's the span lengths messing with the dither?

i'm working out all the contextually specific behavior now. it's going to work with mixed heights, too. here's a high building (with the new special case bridge handling) connected to a low building.

why, sony (see terribly left drift, end of video).

you can get some interesting color variation + banding if you use deliberately-not-right bitwise compositing. things bleed into other channels + it messes with relative brightness.

it was interesting doing a lot of color / fill explorations recently. i have more to do! i think this flat shaded, bitwise color one is my favorite of the crop. but next i want to go back to free rgb because it's so tunable, and it's good for haze etc. and gives me very manual control.

i think maybe if i find the right magic value, i can do shadows by bitmasking?

it works, the new renderer is bug free! to catch folks up on the experiment, this is a zero polygon renderer which uses a heightmap raycaster similar to comanche. it's a single pass with terrain + n bookended pairs of layered geometry, so you can do overlaps.

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!

Once in power, Putin cut taxes for elites, consolidated media (directly or via loyalists) & sought to manipulate the electoral process. Sound familiar? Some parallels are hard to ignore. The difference? The US has strong checks, an active civil society & deep democratic traditions—that gives me hope
