xr height calibration 🎉 its managed by XrSettingsSystem, and the calibration affects the Y translation of transforms written/driven by InputXR, which CameraXR component will now respect (previously that was hard coded in the xr renderer to grab the openxr poses) #indiedev #gamedev #vr

taking a break from the pool rooms to hang out on the roof 🌇✨ Finding a bunch of performance bottlenecks. Triaging that probably for the next day or so

i forgot how soothing it is to have a world that is perpetually dawn / twilight, and also access to a rooftop and firearms

Wip Sakura "mind control laser machine pistol" 🤭 Also making pointers aware of hand bones they are associated with to make it easier to grab things instead of just levitating them

hmm

What could go wrong..

wip

hmm

meow meow meow

gaming chair escapes into the void (RIP)

probably a good idea to have hand pose presets.. openxr hand tracking is available now on branch main on github (and soon in mittens-engine 0.10.0 once that is published)

Hmm..

hmmm... time to make a math DSL.. after not blocking myself by substantially increasing the complexity of MMS lang, and just making crucial IK solvers available automatically through AvatarControl / AVC component

My favorite feature of web applications / react native. When they rely on psychic abilities to see the graphics

visual git commit review

a bit nicer.. grouping things by system / and or module (ie, engine/graphics/)

bsky.app/profile/apar...

mittens visualizing (part of) mittens

we diagramming now >:3

WIP graphics settings ui. also moving away from hard coding system panels in rust. this one is entirely written in meow meow script (mms) :3 but there's a GraphicsSettingsSystem backend that handles the host/system calls from having changed settings #gamedev #mittens-engine #vr #indiedev

.. What could go wrong? #hardwaregore #electronics #idkwhatimdoing

TIL: The word “foveated” (as in “foveated rendering”) does NOT derive from “FOV” (field of view), but the “fovea centralis”, the area of the retina responsible for sharp central vision.

secondary motion constraints in mittens-engine now you nest one of these: ReturnToRestWhenStill { motion_threshold(0.028) still_for(0.4) } on a SpringBone{} component next i will support stylized angle-dependent motion sensitive pose snapping for spring bones #gamedev #indiedev #vr

ToonOutline component for mittens-engine. just talking a bit, and physically gesturing to demo the normal-expansion inverted hull outlines. A bit of overhead added, but they make use of the gpu-side skinning cache at least, then expand along normals #vr #gamedev #mittens-engine #not #a #vtuber

improved robot lasers

Trying to install Linux on iMac again.. So far I have a fancier boot disk And some failure telemetry from open firmware being picky about the exact alignment of partition tables

why not both? but i do wonder, is it *meditative* to contemplate the destruction of something? even something evil like the CCP?

Rider and Mountable components, + underlying attachment_system, + new spatial model of `Zone`s powering managed component attachments, (and eventually the other spatial models like bounds and spring bone colliders will use zones internally) in mittens-engine #vr #gamedev #not #a #vtuber

controlling only 1 rotation axis at a time in xr feels worse than i thought. going to default the editor gizmos [when used from an xr Pointer] to controlling pitch+yaw+roll simultaneously. still very cool imo to be able to do this in #vr instead of in blender.

⚔️ ghost vs ninja grid drawing is now decent. there was a bug where the raycastable wouldnt be picked up on grids, which is fixed now. that had basically prevented initiating a paint stroke / free draw when there was nothing behind grid. so now u can move the grid around and draw

making Paint Into an EditorInteractionMode, alongside but now separate from the 3D cursor and selection modes.

hmm

RoughTransmission component / material in mittens-engine just screen space effects. several layers of down-sampling and blurring. Also added a proper Unlit{} component (to change the shading model of a Renderable), supporting Color and Texture. github.com/rei-kurzweil... #3D #graphics

probably time to make a more xr friendly transform gizmo..
