Flying Islets
Was going for a more interesting thing and ran out of time. Happens w/#everydays. [everyday 06/09/17]

Volumetric Light
Volumetric light in blender. Low rez, high filesize, less than ideal – but volumetric light is always nifty. [everyday 6/7/17]
Pythagorean Harmony Explorer
In preperation for a (physical) musical project, I made a small Pyhagorean harmony generator / explorer in p5.js. 2D work was refreshing, but some of the affordances of p5.sound were less than amazing; I needed to use a third party music lib to quickly equate between midi values, note values and frequencies. I particularly enjoyed implement a […]

Object Pooling in Three.js
A rough-and-dirty implementation of object pooling, a technique very common in game dev and proc gen. First learned about it in a Unity context, since then found out it’s quite universal and for good measure. In this implementation you’re going down an endless grid with randomly generated object. The grid is infinitely generated ahead of you […]
Bass Jumper
Had a lovely time working on (CGAJam)[https://itch.io/jam/cga-jam] with friends. I did mainly art, no code, which is definitely a new thing for me. Had a great time. 4 colors are incredibly limiting and inspiring. I hope we finish it – fun mechanic and wonderful throwback art. [Repo here](https://github.com/swiftcoder/cgajam2017/blob/master/README.md).
Marcus Aurelius Sculpting App
Because what good is 3d graphics if you can’t mess with a timeless object d’art. (Learning more about normal-based manipulation!) [everyday 06027]
Sphere Carving with Raycasting and Normal Calc
Messing around with normal subtraction in constant raycasting, leads to fun result. Carve your icosphere at will! [everyday 060117]

Isolate game mechanics, arrive at near-existentialism [everyday 053017]
Metamorphosis
Spent most of Memorial Day making this. Aesthetically – open spaces, gradients, distant observant businessmen. Same old, same old. Live: Technically – More experiments with Vertex Displacement. Getting a lot done while avoiding shaders (which I’ll revisit later). Thoroughly enjoyed playing with shadows and wireframes – all kinds of interesting patterns and such. [everyday […]
going nuclear
Well, this escalated quickly. Trying to get more interesting worldspace-based effects happening (basically, a ripple would be nice) but until then, these unforeseen behemoths sure are interesting. The hotshot line is: ico.geometry.vertices[i] += Math.sin(clock.getElapsedTime() * ico.geometry.vertices[i]) / 2; (for all axes individually) [everyday 5/28/17]
