I haven't posted on this instance in forever so i may as well reintroduce myself. I'm a graphics programmer. By day I work for a AAA studio on NDA stuff. In my free time I work on a personal project called Tangerine, which is a real time CSG rendering engine / CAD kernel written in a mix of C++ and Racket. My goal for Tangerine is for it to be eventually suitable for building games with, but we'll see if I get there. If people stick around, I'll post project updates here as I work on it.

I gather from the rules of this mastodon instance that posting stuff unrelated to game development is strongly discouraged so as to keep the local timeline on topic. I am however a full person and not a game dev content generator, so I've found this policy limits mastodon's appeal to me. Idk what people normally do about this. Is signing up on multiple instances the norm?

@aeva Dumb question - where are the per instance rules for Mastodon?

@sheredom @aeva they are linked to from the "about" mastodon page (but not quite easy to find). https://gamedev.place/mastodon-guidelines.html -- TLDR; if you *never* post about anything gamedev related, then why not pick some other instance.

@aeva It is not the norm and should not be. You are right, everyone here is a full person and that's why your instance's Usage Guidelines are flawed - mastodon is a social network not a subreddit, you can't most of the time meaningfully interact with the rest of the network as a consequence.There are ways to fix this without polluting the local timeline, but it requires cooperation from the instance admin.

@aras @aeva this one is clearly an exposition on environment design!

@sheredom @aeva yours seems to be in the early “I can render a heightmap” stage. mine already supports detail objects and trees!

@logicalerror @sheredom @aeva She does support motion blur, even on the fur. There are some artifacts though.
