Made 'episode 2' of the fake anime from last week, it features the trolley problem, a new enigmatic character that stands behind mirrors, crashing AMD drivers & a breathtaking cliffhanger 4 years in the making. #NovelAI

Saw an article about making fake anime screencaps with AI and gave it a try myself using a discord I'm in as the setting, I severely underestimated just how much fun it would be to make those! #NovelAI

I finally finish the full pipeline for translating Japanese to English and back! It's 3 neural networks embedded inside 500MB textures running on nothing but fragment shaders. github.com/SCRN-VRC/Language… #VRChat #NLP #transformers #unity3d #madewithunity

Cool news from @VRChat: The company hired @MerlinVR_, the community member who created UdonSharp, the popular C# compiler. “I was living off savings from my prior job & working towards breaking even with Patreon.” Now this is his office at VRChat Inc. nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2022/02/ud…

I've spent the last year in VRChat with every waking, non-work moment of my life. I adventure into the lives of the people who call this new digital universe their home. Join me for this journey! youtube.com/watch?v=hVWlgh8Q…

My #VRChat Tower Defense is now released! Been working on this for a while and I think it's looking really good 🙂 Sorry for the twitchy video it's so hard to be a good cameraman in VR

Natural language processing with Transformers inside #VRChat I made an English to Japanese translator with nothing but fragment shaders. Check it out here! github.com/SCRN-VRC/Language… #NLP #MachineLearning #unity3d

Shadertoy in #VRChat! I wrote a tiny compiler in UdonSharp that compiles 'shaders' to a tiny stack-based instruction set, that is then executed in an accompanying VM written in a fragment shader. Shaderception! github.com/pema99/Shadercept…

I've released UdonRabbit Analyzer v0.13.0. It includes support for user-property features added in UdonSharp v0.20.0, as well as support for some CodeFixes. It also includes a fix for a problem that prevented the UnityPackage from importing correctly. github.com/mika-f/UdonRabbit…

New and improved face tracking in #VRChat! I added blinking, brow movements, and eye tracking 👀. And I released the source here! github.com/SCRN-VRC/3D-Face-… Thanks to @MerlinVR_, @RalivDev for the help and @orels1_ for the recording the video ❤️ #machinelearning #unity3d

I recreated YOLOv4 tiny from scratch inside fragment shaders for #unity. Here's a demo of it running in #VRChat and I uploaded the code on GitHub github.com/SCRN-VRC/YOLOv4-T… Have fun ^^ #YOLO #DeepLearning #MachineLearning #AI #ObjectDetection #shaders

I've released UdonRabbit.Analyzer, a Roslyn Analyzer for UdonSharp! It has an error display for methods that aren't exposed to Udon, an error display for syntaxes that UdonSharp doesn't support. It supports you to develop with UdonSharp! github.com/mika-f/UdonRabbit… #UdonSharp #VRChat

"Voice" recognition with shaders in #VRChat. Instead of audio data, I feed the neural network visemes that fire when avatars talk. The visemes actually retain enough data for the network to extract! #MachineLearning #AI #shaders #Unity3D #AudioRecognition
