Planet’s first catastrophic climate tipping point reached, report says, with coral reefs facing β€˜widespread dieback’ Unless global heating is reduced to 1.2C β€˜as fast as possible’, warm water coral reefs will not remain β€˜at any meaningful scale’, a report by 160 scientists from 23 countries warns

As a coral reef ecologist by training, this is the single-greatest heartbreak of my otherwise blessed life: the extinction of the greatest ecosystems on earth, in our lifetime, with full knowledge it would happen, because humans love fascism & tat more than life πŸ’” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I use stencils on the "scanner effect", where interactable objects are not affected, for the selection outline effect, as well as the "observation mode" where you can check out a specific object 😊

Progress on the detective game experiment made with @godotengine.org
Using custom post-process, a secondary camera for the magnifying glass which can reveal hidden clues and to be able to study objects seamlessly... It's been fairly smooth so far, I'm enjoying the Godot experience 😊

Material Maker 1.4 Material Maker 1.4 is now available for download... I would like to apologize for all the time it took, I seriously underestimated the effort needed to port everything to Godot 4 and the temptation to...

#MaterialMaker 1.4 (#GodotEngine based PBR material authoring and 3D model texturing tool) is now available on @itchio .
It is based on Godot 4, had a huge UI redesign and has quite a few new nodes.

Second @godotengine.org experiment, this time working on interior lighting, trying to mimick detective games...

I found it a bit harder than I expected to get decent results, but it's starting to look all right I think

Got around to playing with stencils which is fun 😊(work in progress)

Spent a few days on my first @godotengine.org experiment, a Star Wars themed environment, with basic movement and shooting mechanics. Learning a lot πŸ™‚

3/ Visual shaders seem okay, with some limitations (lacks some basic nodes in my opinion, kinda hard to access bread and butter nodes like math operations with the search bar)
4/ Particle systems seem okay, although a bit basic ?

Looking forward to playing more with it

Day 1 of playing with @godotengine.org , focusing on its rendering capabilities:

1/ It definitely can look really good
2/ Standard material is absolutely great, so many features

Really nice! A fun addition could be faking the light hitting the geometry using the depth/normal buffers, to optimise having a ton of them (not too close though)

ChatGPT action dolls: What are the concerns? As online users create Barbie-like dolls of themselves, experts urge caution over AI's energy and data use.

It's all fun and games until …

"Professor Gina Neff of Queen Mary University London told the BBC #ChatGPT is "burning through energy", and the data centres used to power it consume more electricity in a year than 117 countries."

That's not right though, I guess it's to simplify rootless voicings to comp, like you can play a Cmaj7 over a Dsus13 because it has the same notes apart from the root, but without context it's just false (and if she's confused with enharmonic chords, this will make things worse) 🎡

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument.

Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed.

3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened.

Erasure.

Would you use that rather than a bevel modifier (controlling individual edges' bevels with bevel weight) ? It seems much harder to control the size here, as you only see the result after two steps. Cool idea nonetheless πŸ‘€
