Principal Software Developer @ Unity. Opinions are my own and not those of my employer.
I'm trying to build a little website for a thing, with some basic interactive elements. I started in NextJS, but quickly realised I wouldn't be able to maintain that, so I'm switching to C#, and... is it my imagination, or is Blazor a *really bad idea*? Like this whole "you can just freely mix server side and client side logic" thing... feels like a recipe for disaster?
Unity's demo team has released tech details & a package for their ML-based cloth deformer in Time Ghost demo. Pretty cool! https://discussions.unity.com/t/making-of-time-ghost-cloth-deformation-with-unity-sentis/1537842

That’s a wrap on #ggj24. In 48 hours my team has built a game that includes cross-device multiplayer, internet relay, dynamic laughter recognition, WebGL microphone handling (on mobile!) and photogrammetry. And it actually works.

We’ll take those certifications of insanity now, please.

Two related questions for computer graphics people:

1. is it true that ray/line/whatever intersection tests are common in interviews?

2. how common are questions of this nature, where you have equations memorized?🤔

(boosts appreciated pls)

was reminded of this old banger of a tweet so i'm reposting it here on mastodon after *checks watch* 9 years

Well that was easier than I expected. RPi Zero 2 W, Camera Module 3, about 4 hours of fiddling around (mostly getting my PC with a microSD card reader to work…), one hiccup with partition size that was easily fixed, and I have my own improvised IP camera, streaming video over RTMP to ffplay on my desktop.

Need to see if I can improve the latency - right now there’s about a 1sec delay on the stream - and get it into OBS in the most efficient manner.

End of the most stressful ~2 weeks of my career at Unity.

Happy that I made a difference; frustrated that it was necessary in the first place. And there's still plenty more to do.

I think a recent Edge update pushed a bunch of sponsored hotlinks onto the 'new tab' page, so I'm done with it. Let's see how Firefox is doing these days.
I'm in SF this week! Not expecting to be at #GDC2023 itself, but will be just around the corner in the #Unity office. Ping me if you'd like to say hi!
