Unfortunately, I'm still in an obscenely tight position & am still trying to pay off January's rent (and haven't even been able to start on February or March).

My landlord is understandably running out of patience, and work's still been alarmingly dry.

Any help would mean the world right now.

graphic design shitpost: Stick figure of human leg with the knee labeled "monetizable knee"; stick figure of digitigrade leg, with the knee labeled "uncouth zoophile knee"; text: Ankle unrelated, "we are very smart" - payment processors. Separate graphic on other half - illustration of a doggy, text: Woof woof! I am a representational, animal-shaped character! A hot one, some might say. People are often attracted to me, which make sense - I am depicted with human-like behaviors, and am often drawn as a representation of idealized or exaggerated human experiences. I'm not just a talking dog - I can be a representation of the artist's aspiration to be more playful, more confident - or of something they already love about themselves. Animal-shaped characters have been a part of human expression as long as we have made art - and that tradition will outlive the powers which seek to control and divide us today. Er, grr bark, I mean.

oh my god fuck OFF

I could handle that as an edge case and fall back to no discarding of pixels if the difference is impossibly off, but I'd rather figure out how to calculate the line for it correctly if possible.

There is still an issue where lines that have one vertex behind the camera's plane cease to render (the line test value describes it being far from where the actual geometry is and it discards the whole line as if it were rendering too far from the intended line).

YEAH!! It bugged me so much for far too long but I've finally vanquished it ;;w;;

A fun thing about this being a geometry shader: it'll still work even if you put it on a normal triangle-based mesh (albeit with only 1 line drawn per triangle instead of 3)

Wrote & published a short shader for achieving better pixel-perfect line rasterization for MeshTopology.Lines meshes in Unity.

Okay, rewrote it as simple as I could get it so it should be easy to integrate into your project or shader.

(This does use a geometry shader, so for custom shaders you may need to link up all your vertex streams between the vertex, geometry, and fragment structs)

Now I can show just how FUCKED the old line rasterization looks, entirely in the same render.

(right now I have it as an overly elaborate geometry shader so I can sample both coordinates for each vertex pair & write both to both streams without having to bake in extra vertex data into the mesh beforehand)

I'm thrilled to be seeing more games utilize mesh geometry for pixel-perfect visuals, though I've seen a lot of those projects marred by DX11's shitty default line rasterization behavior.

Hopefully I can simplify the way I do this so it's easy to integrate & maybe release it as a public shader.

I cannot believe how long this took me to finally get & it's so stupidly simple... I had all the pieces but I am just a bit thick. ;;w;;

Well, I guess I can use other graphics platforms for my projects now without feeling like I'm giving up on my artistic vision for perfectly rasterized lines lmfao

Huh, so I may have finally found a trick for good line rasterization outside of OpenGL Core.

Vertex shader stores the coordinates for each pair of verts, then in fragment I test them with a Bresenham line function, discarding pixels outside the line (& use conservative rasterization to avoid gaps).

lmao forgot bsky would cut half the framerate

here it is at 60 reacting to the music properly

what if i got zhat zhing ya zent me

started writing a silly little web tool to turn binary bitmaps into integers representing 5x5 chunks, entirely so i can infect shadertoy with more of my rancid vibes

i keep thinking i should draw my sonas napping because of how tired i am but i'd need to stop being tired to do that

been insanely lethargic these last few days, sorry if i haven't been responding to any messages!!
