LittleJS rendering system is crazy fast. For the procedural hills in my #js13k game, I just draw a few thousand thin vertical strips. No sweat. 💪🚂

In case you missed it, I write shader tutorials for a variety of skill levels, touching on everything from math, design, conceptualization, techniques, optimization and more. There's something for everyone: mini.gmshaders.com

Turns out that going in to a career in I.T after watching the 1995 film hackers was a mistake. Less edgy underground Angelina Jolie cyberpunks and more middle aged fat balding men saying 'Fucks sake' 10 times an hour, myself included. We don't even get a cool den to hang out in.

A side project I've been building lately. I built a neural net with Tensorflow and trained it on the MNIST dataset of handwritten images. Then, I brought the model into Blender and used the values to turn it into a 3D scene. This is actually the model running!

trying @deanthecoder's procedural wood texture, sampled in worldspace - looks fantastic setting the albedo on a 10% mirror/90% diffuse surface like this - comes out like real, polished wood
