Recursive Vision by lukesnyder Render texture feedback that creates dreamlike visuals

A small experiment with visual feedback in Unity. Basically, sending your main camera output to a render texture that you apply to objects in the world gives you all sorts of interesting visual effects.

I've been working on foliage for my art museum project. I finally created some pine trees and began experimenting with Unity's terrain system.

Pluralistic: The Post-American Internet (01 Jan 2026) โ€“ Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow

A terrifically interesting talk by Cory Doctorow about current opportunity to build a future with digital sovereignty and an enshittification-resistant internet. Seize the means of computation indeed.

I'm incredibly happy with how these models look with the shader I wrote! The items you choose from are supposed to be something like digital schematics that you can select and print, then implant into your player body.

Bayer dithering with a larger scale makes everything look extra crunchy.

I'm able to create some really interesting structures and environments for my game Fungivore. Very surreal to explore.

Luke's Art Museum by lukesnyder An interactive museum of my art

I've published an prototype version of my virtual art museum project. This will be where I display all the art that I'm proud of. It's quite small at the moment, but I'll update it over time. I'll eventually have a sprawling multimedia experience, with mini-games, scavenger hunt, secrets rooms...

Oh, I love this! What's your approach?

Somehow, not surprised that you rate Nope so highly. Was an astonishing movie.

Woodcut and graphite rubbing print. First time trying the medium, it's very demanding and rewarding. Would be much easier with proper tools.

For me, I think it's the greatest game I've ever played. So incredibly beautiful.

You've misquoted. I only spoke for myself.

Funnily, you overstep in the selfsame way you accuse. There's no way of knowing for sure that other art has had a deeper impact on people, haha. Of course, I'd agree that it's almost certainly true.

24.02.2025 11:05 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I'm excited to experience them all. I want to 100% this game, which isn't something I've ever cared about before.

I genuinely was filled with actual resolve.

I've died more ways than I can count. I'd highly recommend playing roleplay, and sticking with it to the end. It's breathtaking.
