I've been using @determinate.systems #nix with nix-darwin for the past 3 months on my work and personal macOS. It's a declarative way to manage your system. Your whole setup (packages, preferences, services) is in 1 config file and 1 command away from being fully restored. It’s such a delight #dev

Working on this dog training app in Flutter today. Interesting how Flutter feels super intuitive for someone who's mainly built web clients and Dart seems like it's trying to be "better Typescript" - curious if others feel this way? #Flutter #developer

Playing around with #touchdesigner and #ableton today. I don't know why I didn't connect these two tools together earlier πŸ˜… #generativeart #musicproduction

Back to playing around with #touchdesigner! With Noise + Feedback + Composite TOPs you can get such good-looking results with minimum effort

Okay so I figured out you can set DPR based on performance. It's not 60fps but at least it's less choppy. MeshTransmissionMaterial is very expensive and I'm using it on 100 pieces of the apple, so actually this isn't even that bad! 🍎 #threejs #3d #creativecoding #react

I created my apple and broke it up into pieces, but now I'm facing performance issues because the MeshTransmissionMaterial is quite costly on the GPU. I need this to be 60 fps! πŸš€ #threejs #creativecoding #3d

Got that chromatic abberation to work! I really want to start delving into the MeshTransmissionMaterial and figure out how the it actually works πŸ€”

Finally made a cool looking transparent apple! I've found a material called MeshTransmissionMaterial, which allows you to make things transparent and change the values. #threejs #3d

So this is now in the #threejs environment. It doesn't look glassy at all πŸ˜… I took too big of a step of trying to do everything at once. I'll break it down into smaller experiments and then combine them: 1. Loading a glass texture in Three.js 2. Using physics libs for shattering

I've been working with blender to create this shattering apple. I want to import it into #threejs and be able to explode it and move it around just for fun #blender

This is aura

I need to export this instead of filming it with my phone πŸ˜… #touchdesigner #creativecoding #generativeart

Back into making #touchdesigner art

This has been me during the holidays

This hits so hard.

But I want it tho 😭 #sora

For my node based creative code tool I’ve been looking into rust, since I want to use WASM + WebGPU for it to support all browsers. This language can be so pretty, but at the same time you can end up with the ugliest piece of code on the planet

The influx of companies to bluesky is amazing 😍

I'm going to start a new side project, node based creative coding tool, but on the browser. It's a learning project and going to be OSS from the start πŸŽ‰

What blew my mind is that the base for 3D WebGL is essentially just matrices. I always thought it’s some super hardcore hacky WebGL code, but after diving deep into it, it’s not that complex? Probably those are my famous last words before I cry while trying to display a sphere by myself
