fisheye, peripheral rays showing a lot of chromatic aberration which is really cool

Starting a new project? Turn on and enforce the following right now: -sRGB for all rendertargets and source textures. -premultiplied alpha in both textures and blending. -fixed-point world time and world position. Retrofitting these after the fact is a giant pain. Learn from my (repeated) fail!

Something I've wanted to write up for a while, this is how I wish I'd learned spherical harmonics: andrew-helmer.github.io/demystifying...

looking at the bokeh from different lenses by tracing against emissive dots on a plane

showing the result of live updates to aperture and focus distance

interesting how much character the different lens designs have

changes in aperture from the reference design, f/8 closed down four stops, corresponding changes in DoF and chromatic aberration

and finally, here is an image rendered through this lens, with pupil sampling using a precomputed 1D LUT in a radially symmetric sample space, to integrate all the incident radiance through the aperture for each pixel

...and I added token-beam to poline-orbits.color.pizza so you can see your colors in action!

oh damn i do appear to be making a code-centric daw. still enjoying making it, slow/incremental as that process is. i do find that the more i visualize stuff, the more i like it. really makes me wonder why we didn't historically integate live data viz into more *code* editors.

Oh my. The aurora borealis, seen in ultraviolet light from space. Our planet, putting on a show ✨

some bugs to work out still but quite impressed with gaussian splats, very fast even with a very simple raster impl

One time I managed to find the exact spot where that photo was taken on google maps

Another little tool built on top of @meodai.bsky.social's Cusp Hanger to create palettes for generative systems. One ground colour plus foregrounds grouped by contrast. It generates a smooth ramp per hue and selects colours off that ramp by measured contrast.

Trying to forecast the future on a Galton board

I've released my Tone Mapping Analysis tools for comparing tone mapping LUTs, implemented as a Unity project with custom editor windows. Compare how different tone mappers look when applied to HDR .exr images, with comparison sliders and a variety of overlays and graphs. github.com/runevision/T...

spectral light distribution UI hooked up, now the light matches the specified spectral power distribution

converted to spectral, so far the only difference is the chroma noise
