I should make a videogame. ough.f.

😎

having a bit too much fun with this

had a little bit of fun with printer shaders (again)

plane defined by the light direction *.

instead of treating the bounces as point lights, they're uuh directional lights but with distance falloff, and they don't light anything past the plane defined by the hit normal, so now it doesnt even bleed trough things as much. also added a "counter bounce" light to every ray

further advances, cheating by tinting direct light too

this is getting real stupid real fast

figured out a way to make it look smoother AND just use the initial ray, this just went from meme tech to actual tech wtf.

why have one vertex light when every vertex light could be 256 vertex lights

maybe it's because I'm sick but I'm feeling particularly unhinged today. vertex light . indirect bounces .

also pictured : drawing the whole model again but brighter behind the real model and then offsetting it to get the rim lights. guassian blurring the vertex shadows instead of just blurring.

can't really see it there but I'm trying out possibly unhinged tech : volumetric dithered fog. kind of looks nice at a distance, might need to fade out near the camera

I love that rim light so much
