The exclusive content I save for Bluesky

Dynamic lights don't scale when we volumes get resized, so I made a component to handle this. I haven't updated it for visionOS 27/RCP3, but that is on my list. stepinto.vision/example-code...

what if I spread myself too thick for once

There were three years between the end of Golden Girls (1992) and the beginning of Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995).

Please excuse my Scheidenfold. I'm a small and petty person and can't help myself

Pinning this to remind myself of the next goal

I like the new profile links on Bluesky profiles. Nice touch

This is your occasional reminder that the Step Into Vision community has two weekly Office Hours meetings. stepinto.vision/about-office...

Did you know you can add an ornament to an ornament in a window? stepinto.vision/labs/lab-073...

Did you know we can create custom ornament anchors? We can provide a UnitPoint with X and Y values to position an ornament anywhere around (or even over) a visionOS window. stepinto.vision/labs/lab-028...

Ornaments allow us to decorate our windows with information and controls. We can anchor them around a window, and adjust their alignment to suite the content. stepinto.vision/example-code...

This is how I ended my presentation at OhioXR. I focused on visionOS as a computing platform. It was a rapid-fire showcase of features, capabilities, and real-world use cases. My objective was to show people a glimpse of what's possible on this platform, to spark some ideas.

Remnants, a 27-minute ghost story directed by Ti West, is coming to Apple Immersive Video next Friday (Oct. 16). FYI: Ti West directed an episode of Widow's Bay too.

My M3 Max MacBook Pro briefly entered the Magenta Matrix and now I'm terrified that the GPUs are borked

What's wrong with you? Why can't you just be hyper-fixated on a niche technology for 10 years like a normal person?

I don't think I've ever gotten more excited reading an acronym than ULID (Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifier) 🥵

please wait here

Of course, compulsory Blender flythrough video. Still a lot of work to do on this space. I started adding in a few stylized materials on the floors and walls. I need to rethink the stairways and the railings around the upper floors.

A bit more progress on a new interior space. Adding just a bit of color, minimal stylized floors, WIP walls

Episode 011: From Experiments to Experiences with Mike "A labor of love and a labor of laziness" is such a good description for making useful things. stepinto.vision/podcast/epis...

We'll be with you shortly.

If everyone who saw this gave me five dollars, then I would have $5 times the number of people who saw this. 

That was the Muzak of tech keynotes

So I've been building the Apple native video editing app of my dreams No projects, no libraries, just drop in files, trim, crop, add AI captions, export and get out. On macOS, iOS, iPadOS and Duo And I'm calling it – against my better judgement – Trimothy TestFlight link👇

If Apple ever decides to deprecate Animation Graph, it'll be because I made stuff like this

Setting aside my terrible animation clips, I'm learning a little bit more about Animation Graph. I can use some basic inputs to have Clownbear Gymbro animate between idle, walk, and run. Then I can trigger jumps that will blend (badly) with whatever state he was in at the time.

We just announced Xogot Modeler. Inspired by Unity’s ProBuilder, it lets you build levels in your 3D Godot scenes. Create geometry, extrude meshes and more without leaving Xogot. Check out @migueldeicaza.bsky.social's blog post for the full story, with lots of demos: blog.xogot.com/xogot-modeler/

I'm hosting a gathering for the NYC immersive experience community on October 13 at the imminently-closing Dead Letter No. 9. Please join us! www.eventbrite.com/e/nyc-immers...

I don't think I've touched an animation graph since 2018, so I'm a little rusty. Slowly piecing things together in RCP3. ✅ Character USDC file, with skeletal rig ✅ Separate animation files ✅ Animation library component on an entity ✅ Animation graph to blend states

Everyone else is making super impressive stuff with AI agents and 3D tools. I'm just over here making nightmare fuel. Meet Clownbear Gymbro

RCP3: we can scale nodes along a motion path and our entity will animate to that scale

RCP3: We can rotate nodes in a motion path and our entity will follow animate to match that orientation.

RCP3: Motion Path Orbit - Create a sequence - Select a root entity for the sequence - Create a track and select track entity - Add motion path and change shape to Orbit We can adjust nodes, path axis, and even enable entity spin during the orbit.
