LayerProcGen is a framework for layer-based procedural generation that's infinite, deterministic and contextual, that I'll release as open source later this year.

I guess I am officially a game* developer now! I've been through the whole process of researching, developing, testing, releasing in beta to users, following through on bug reports, and finally, today, the official release of my update in #SpaceEngine !
And I wrote an article about all of the science behind the update! Click here for nerd stuff:

*Not technically a game, SpaceEngine is an interactive universe simulator. :)

Looks like I picked a good time to switch from Unity to Unreal Engine.
I wish I had done this several years ago, tbh. 😜
I just spent an hour "translating" something from perfectly good hlsl to a very ugly and far less readable UE Material Graph before the editor randomly crashed (which happens at least a dozen times per day) and I lost that work.
I just don't understand the big push for using graph-based editors to replace shader code.
It's not easier to read, it's not easier to write, it's a hell of a lot slower to do, and I am not at all convinced that it provides any value over code to artists or anyone.
