Advent of Creativity 2

1st December 2019

Last year I made a bunch of models in Blender. This year, my medium of choice is... (Linkage). Similarly to last year, I have a little bit of experience in this kind of thing, but not a lot. So let's see how this goes!
For Day 1, here's a simple *snip*

Word of the Week : Wavers

30th November 2019

Decided to use this as an excuse to give ShaderToy a quick whirl (considering using it for Advent of Creativity this year). Here's some fairly uninspired 1am sine waves. ;)

Introduce Yourself

6th September 2019

Hi, I'm James.
I used to code a few little game projects as I was growing up (most of which were entries into Jay's Wednesday Workshops!). Then I got an actual job in the games industry, which ironically leaves me little time / energy for hobby pr*snip*

Taking a Longer Path

23rd March 2019

I'd also vote for brute-forcing it. The requirement for an exact path length makes using any of the usual pathfinding algorithms unhelpful, but the lack of fixed destination writes them out entirely!
With 10 moves your search space should be small eno*snip*

28th January 2019

C++ operator precedence is well-defined, not compiler specific. See here: en.cppreference.com. Though Jay's advice is still wise: it is often better for write your code more explicitly even if it's longer, to make sure it does what you want! After *snip*

Ups
What did you get done in 2018?

I UV-unwrapped the whole mesh so it's one large texture. That's what ended up taking most of the time, because I decided I wanted to try *snip*

Thanks Jay. Everything is a mess of half-unpacked stuff and half-re-assembled furniture right now, but perhaps there shall be a picture or two once things are more assembled. ;)

Those are some lovely creatures Jay. :) I do enjoy the various things your sprite generator can now make.

Sadly nothing from me tonight, as I've been doing allllll the furniture moving that didn't happen on Sunday due to illness. About to take the last van load now! Hopefully regular service will resume tomorrow.

I definitely feel you there rychan. There's never enough time in a day!
I've only had about 20 minutes spare today, so I tried to figure out how to make my bauble look more reflective. After a bit of fiddling with the Blender Cycles material setup*snip*

Day 17: A very quickly put together bauble. I was hoping to have time to figure out how to make it all shiny and reflective in the Cycles renderer, but alas ran out of time. Perhaps that's tomorrow's task!

Cycles is the name of Blender's photorealistic rendering engine. AFAICT it uses raytracing, physically based rendering, etc in order to achieve a more realistic render than the default, simple renderer. Though I've not actually investigated it in d*snip*
