Search the Unsearchable sirrandalot 2024-04-01 | Creativity is exploration.Music: Le Monde - Richard CarterWords:There's a particular space through which a journey would never end,a truly unfathomable place, it's much too large to comprehend.It's a place of many secrets, well, all of them in fact.Contained within it you'll find everything from concrete to abstract.The concept itself is simple, some might even say it's comicalthat something so ideologically basic would have results so astronomical.Picture a collection of pixels, an image, if you will,now imagine all the different ways that image could be filled.It could be a barbecue, or a moose in a canoeor a yew, or bamboo, or many different shades of blue.A visual representation of every sound to ever be heard,every letter, every word, can you see how it's absurd?Your DNA on full display, a record kept of every daynot just of now, or of before, but going forward, evermore!Every truth, every lie, simply waiting for your eye,a nearly endless stream of content to delight and horrify!Hang on, hold up a second, what exactly is the implication?That somehow creativity is itself a work of fiction?The question becomes not how it can be made, but instead, how it can be found...an idea, ironically, upon which the space itself could expound.How does one even begin to navigate such a gargantuan expanse?If you stare into the abyss, does it return so much as a glance?To search the unsearchable would seem to be an impossible affair,but before you're quick to despair there's something of which you should be made aware:every photo taken, every line drawn, every pixel manipulatedis in fact an act of exploration, motivated and dictated by you!Your mind is designed to be exploratorily inclined,so why not pick up a pencil and show us what you find?

More Hexworld Testing! (Unity 2017) sirrandalot 2017-11-14 | All information is in the description!I did a little bit of improvement on this procedural generation project a while ago but never got around to making a little video so I decided it was about time!The terrain is still generated using multiple layers of 2D and 3D simplex noise. A lot of the improvement came from the way the chunks are loaded and meshed. Instead of messing around with combining meshes, the chunks are manually meshed every time they need to be updated (in the case of a block add/remove). This method seems to be the fastest and really speeds up not only the chunk loading but general performance as well, since there are no faces present that don't need to be there (ie interior faces aren't meshed).All the terrain is using one material with a slightly modified standard shader. A Texture2DArray is used to store all the different block textures, and the appropriate index is passed through a second UV value when meshing the chunk. The second UV channel is also used to pass a lighting value, so per-face lighting is fully functional except for the fact that I never managed to figure out a proper propagation algorithm (mostly due to the lack of planning and abundance of kinda gross code).Intro sound effects from: http://freesound.orgMusic is "Bumper Tag" by John Deley from: youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
