Fantastic! Is this for use in some larger product or production or just for its own sake? Based on the gear involved Iām guessing itās not for use in gamesā¦

Low-hanging fog would affect the mid-ground. In theory also the far background (if the terrain is flat) but when there's mountains in the distance, they poke out over the fog and are thus only affected by the atmospheric perspective.

This does make things very readable, though looks a bit unnatural when moving as fast as in your clip there. (Not a problem in-game though, as far as I recall.)
I'm wondering what could be plausible real-world analogues. Atmospheric perspective (blue tint) combined with ground fog (white tint)?

The low-level parametrization is what I have. The high-level parametrization is what I need to construct. In the high-level one, the width can be changed by either using the size or the width-multiplier parameter.

Hmm, sorry can't make sense of that. The width+height example is just an introduction and context; the interesting questions come later in the doc.

On the YouTube homepage every video has the options "not interested" and "don't recommend channel" - at least for me? The latter is equivalent to a block, at least in the homepage/recommendation feed.

Combine that with incompetence in dealing with Russia. Since he wants peace but doesn't care how it's achieved, this then forces him to put pressure on Ukraine instead, following Russia's playbook. I found this article useful: re-russia.net/en/analytics...

Right. From my understanding, many have tried and failed to figure out why Putin seems to have a strange hold over Trump.
I do think he's ideologically more aligned with dictators like Putin than with Western democratic values.

Itās not clear to me if you read the linked article?

Dont know if its an answer to your question, but Trump wants access to Ukraineās minerals and is threatening terminating their vital access to Starlink otherwise. (And to be clear, Ukraineās Starlink access is not US aid, itās a fully paid subscription service.) www.reuters.com/business/us-...

Glad you like it! Did you see this article by @aras-p.bsky.social ?

It should be a sphere, not the whole overlapping shape. Still not sure if our use cases are aligned, to be clear my knowledge of this comes from working with POV-Ray decades ago: runevision.com/3d/blobs/
comment in response to

Don't know about smooth-min, but if you're combining blobby (like meta balls) capsule shapes, you can add their functions together while subtracting a sphere of the same radius placed at where they meet up.

There's less chance of random overlaps when the density is smaller (e.g. say 10% dot surface area instead of 50%) so that's a more challenging test case to try out.
comment in response to
post
Right. I definitely think adding/removing points little by little instead of all points from an octave at once is better. But ultimately I think there's no way around the fact that one point gets removed for every three that gets added - except when they overlap, whether by chance or design.

Many people seem interested in exploring variations of surface-stable fractal dithering with irregular dot patterns such as blue noise or similar.
I wrote a bit here about the challenges of constructing a pattern with the required self-similar properties:

By the way, I think my analysis from these previous replies is wrong. I think it *is* possible to construct a blue noise or similar irregular pattern which is still self-similar in the required way; it's just not trivial or easy to wrap one's head around.

Right, it's interesting to see these experiments! Ultimately though, any approach that doesn't fulfill the surface-stable criteria (zooming in only adds more dots without removing any, and vice versa) has a bit of a "crawly ants" feel to me. This is why I emphasize self-similar patterns so much.

Nice! Also cool he's working with/on NPR shading. :)

Works for me now too! Weird it didnāt display text body for me earlier but does now for the same post.

Would recommend trying less mainstream subreddits more tailored to your game genre, maybe more luck there?
comment in response to

Some subreddits are very peculiar and hard to be allowed to use. Havenāt seen text body just disappear before though. You did post both header and body? Then again, donāt have experience with posting on this particular subreddit and with this tag. :/

I only see a header and no text body there.

Oops, misremembered! I guess it's categorized together with free games in my mind. Thanks for pointing out; I'll delete and repost.

All right, I did read that before I posted my reply, but it sounded to me like you meant the second distinction was a consequence of the first, whereas I think the first distinction is irrelevant.

Whether an algorithm creates from scratch or merely assembles is not really the defining line. It's whether it's been trained on data obtained without permission. Algorithms typically referred to as "procedural generation" don't generally do this.

Wow, is this a painting / a paint-over concept art image, or fully rendered in-game? As you can tell from the question, it looks extremely painterly. :)

If movement is not entirely trivial, isn't it just akin to simple puzzles? Or even not so simple; it's a sliding scale, I think.

Haha yeah, that's the general idea with this one š
