Oh wow!! Lots of new followers so let me make a new pinned post! I'm Hazel, aka
GlaireDaggers! I'm a tech/VFX artist in games. I also do furry & fan
#art
for fun (and occasionally commission)! I'm currently working on
#foxbladefable
- a retro furry RPG (which has a Patreon btw!)

Figures I'd post some shit I was working on & then a BSky moderator would do
some stupid ass shit that *immediately* overshadows it lmao Cmon guys, I'm
trying to get some engagement here

Heh, realizing that A.) in my skinned model file I pre-transform vertices into
the local space of the bone they attach to, and B.) I just store each bone's
full local transform in the animation curves. As a result, I actually don't need
to store any bind or rest transform data at all... 😅

When doing animation, I simply sample each bone's animation curves, build its
local matrix, transform against cached parent matrix, & then multiply against
vertex (which, as I said, has already been pre-transformed into bone's local
space in the model file)

(admittedly this does mean I cannot display a skinned mesh without also playing
an animation on it. In the grand scheme of things, I don't think that's a big
deal)

Alright yea did another take on his arms, scarf, & tail & it was WAY easier with
the updated rig. (mostly the same animation but it perhaps looks a bit
smoother/more natural now!)

Also here I realized his foot was "lifting" a bit by accident because when he
shifts his weight, the foot wasn't able to reach the IK target. So I made him
subtly lift up his heel instead 😅

His scarf & tail have now been set up with the "Spring Bones" addon I found, &
then I bake the results. I'm still manually animating the root bone of each, but
the other bones are set to follow with a loose springy motion which makes the
results a lot more fluid for a lot less effort!

Rig is definitely coming along! Learned how to add custom properties to control
FK/IK switching, and also figured out how to set up very basic world/local space
switching ^w^

The gist of the way the space switching works is that the FK bones are not
parented to the shoulder bones, but instead have a pair of constraints: one Copy
Location constraint, and one Child Of constraint.

The associated world space parameter then sets these up so you can either have
the Copy Location constraint active or the Child Of constraint active - with the
effect that the arm either rotates along with its parent, or maintains its own
rotation!

Like we're definitely hitting the part where the underlying anger of the people
is finally starting to boil over. And, as much as a bunch of the media works
overtime to try and convince you otherwise, by and large they're seeing
widespread support

Honestly the more I dive in the more it looks like good 3D animation is a
combination of having solid fundamentals, AND having a good rig so you can focus
on the former rather than fighting to achieve results. And that seems like tech
art territory, which is super my jam lol

Starting to learn that every time there's a bit of animation that I really
struggle with, it turns out it's because I'm doing it the hard way and there's a
much easier way to do it lmao

"man it's so hard to make my character swing their arms convincingly using IK.
... Ah, it's because I really should be using FK for that (and setting up my rig
to support both). I see."

Now space switching otoh might be tough to set up... Maybe things like arms can
be technically unparented, but w/ a "copy location" constraint that makes it
track a desired parent bone? & create a driver to control the constraint's
weight or something

Looking it up & realizing I might actually just be able to rig up the scarf &
tail to have mostly automatic secondary motion... Would honestly make things a
lot easier 😅

"You're complaining that people aren't putting enough effort into looking like a
PS1 game but that's, like, really hard on modern engines" Look if you're gonna
tell me your game looks like something I DO expect you to put the effort into
looking at least a little bit like it.

Like you can't just announce intent to do something and then not do it cause
it's too hard. If it's too hard, you don't have to do it! It's an arguably free
country!

But honestly this sentiment goes for any other "inspiration". If you tell me
your game is "inspired by Quake" then I expect to play your game and be, y'know,
reminded of Quake a little bit. And if it *doesn't* remind me of Quake, I'm
probably gonna be kinda disappointed.

Realized this feature was missing & added it: support for lighting calculations!
Supports 3 directional lights + ambient color, defined as a pair of matrices.

Oops forgot alt text. Alt: Screenshot of an Athena32 demo game. A 3D cube model
is set against a prerendered CG sewer background. The cube is lit by two light
sources - a pale blue light from the water, and a dim yellow light from the
left.

The way it works is directly inspired by the lighting operations in the PSX's
geometry coprocessor. You first set up a pair of matrices - one contains the
direction of each 3 lights, and the other contains the color of each light + the
ambient color.

Then you give it an array of normals, an array of vertex colors, and an output
array to write results to. Each normal is transformed against the light matrix,
clamped, transformed against the light color matrix, and then converted to a
15-bit color in the output array.

I wonder if I should add a "CD audio" like feature... Idea is it would let you
stream an arbitrary audio file, but at the expense of not being able to access
any game files while it's playing?

somebody who did horrible shit off-site until eventually a bunch of pressure

OK so!! - Ported more instruments - Fixed gauss LUT (which is why everything
sounds more muffled now) - Most importantly, *rewrote the whole damn audio core
in Rust*, loaded as a native binary.

OK somewhat better sounding piano this time. Found an easier workflow for
looping on 40-sample boundaries, & exported other piano sounds to use for
multiple regions in the piano patch. Might try & get strings, vibraphone, &
pizzicato string next for this song.
