The beauty of LEGO meshes. At this density the wireframes look like X-Rays.

"Will the future of entertainment be doomscrolling or dreamcrafting?" Each question is a thought provoking exercise. Love it.
My protégés designed and developed a beautiful tree structure that went live today. I am excited to see it expand and become more beautiful and useful.

Thumbnail generation is apparently NP-Complete problem. Bring on AGI and Quantum Computing so I can get letterboxing for thumbnails.
Can gemini-cli learn how to program in @nodes_io? .Let's find out. I've scanned all nodes from past projects and prompted Gemini to create new node converting 3d mesh into Octree representation. It was able to get the right node+port syntax on first try, same for geometry

Spirit Plants depends on a Draft WebGL extension (WEBGL_multi_draw_instanced_base_vertex_base_instance) and disabling it creates strange looking and repetitive aliens.

Picked yet another veg from my garden to feed the algorithm. The flowers should be instanced only on the end of smallest branches but instead they got instanced at every vertex creating this centipede.
