screwed up normals


mixed up line buffer with vertex buffer... the vertexes for the normal lines [2 vertexes] were instead being used as vertexes for faces [3 vertexes]


attempt at rudimentary lighting, comparing a light-direction vector with the normal vectors to determine brightness


instead of printing debug data on the top-left corner of the screen, it rendered it in 3d space instead and upside down

both looks cool and kinda eerie

seems like 'art itself' will soon become obsolete... soon robots really will be able to write symphonies

turns out when you're starting from not much, the normal is pretty sensitive to the order of the input vertexes, which also screws up brightness

some earlier attempts had pretty janky-but-cool brightness effects because of it but i already fixed em and didn't record it

it wasn't, which was lame

Off Topic / Re: 2d background parallax combined with planetoid curvature

« on: August 20, 2022, 12:18:13 PM »

for small planetoids like that gif, parallax probably wouldn't work. you're looking at it straight-on, there's no perspective

for large slightly curved segments, like perennial, it would work. sort of. the same issue would still happen if you wanna go all the way around

alternative answer: do not change the rotation speed, change the size of the background. should remain in-sync with foreground angle, like looking at a cylinder

off topic isn't really the modding community... more like modification discussion board or something

brown bricks sounds like slang for poop, like dog eggs
