Live Coding and Alien Orb - Modeling & Shadows

[@creativecodingwithmaxim]

Your work is absolutely invaluable! :o the amount of times this video blew my mind with a single line of code is rediculous :P thanks mate! ✨🔥

[@realcygnus]

So cool ! Priceless content

[@MartinToernby]

It's sad that KZbin no longer displays the amount of dislikes - because there were (and *are* I assume) almost none on your videoes - with good reason. I appreciate that you don't act overly enthusiastic, which is only noise to me - a trap that many KZbinrs fall into. Superb at explaining complicated stuff.

You are my link to the glsl world. Never got such a good teacher.

[@myth0genesis]

Sorry I missed this one at first! I've been watching your videos for a while now and you still are, without a doubt, the best shader tutorial channel ou there. Keep up the brilliant work!

[@shfunky]

Good to see you back. Excellent tutorial as always!

[@TheArtofCodeIsCool]

Thanks!

[@DeanEdis]

Great shadow 'trick'! I never would have thought of trying that...

[@TheArtofCodeIsCool]

Yeah sometimes you can make use of the very constrained setup of an effect to take some major shortcuts ;)

[@_tjoeaon]

Came across this one on ShaderToy, looks awesome!

[@kimtae858]

So excited to get some nice tea and code along with this. I never tire of that SDF approximation of a gyroid. Try Intersecting it with a square bipyramid resting on a point, if you pick the scaling and angle right you'll find a lovely sun pattern on some of the outer faces.

[@TheArtofCodeIsCool]

Awesome I'll be sure to give that a try!

[@francescotrillini5226]

This is dope ❤️

[@Eylrid]

There was an image in one of the Magic Eye books that was a hollow ball gyroid like that. It's a cool shape.

[@TheArtofCodeIsCool]

Hmm I've been wanting to look into stereographic stuff. Perhaps I'll do some experiments!

[@mat-qt4fq]

What do you think would be a good bias if I were to use the other shadow casting method? Currently my bias is n * 0.1 but of course it changes dramatically how the shadows look if I change it even slightly. As the distance to the center increases the bias has to be higher I guess as precision is lost? What bias would you use? I see how superior your occlusion map shadows are, they are smooth and infinite. Wow, really impressive

[@TheArtofCodeIsCool]

Not sure exactly what bias you are talking about here. Are you doing raymarched shadows?

[@mat-qt4fq]

@@TheArtofCodeIsCool Yes just the extra raymarching for shadows like you said in the video. I learned the bias term from Scratchapixel I thought it could be used here because I have to cast from a point slightly above the first raymarch hitpoint! :)

[@andrepiazza8580]

Great vídeo! Could you please do something like this in unity? I would love to see some volumetrics in unity. Thanks for this!

[@dashxdr]

Very good video. One subject you might explore is an SDF of a quadratic bezier curve.

[@TheArtofCodeIsCool]

Yes that would be cool. It's on the list

[@curiouspers]

Yes!

[@BoyceBailey]

Why do people suffer idiots on reality TV achieving nothing when we can watch experts use tools to craft things with skills and talent. Loved it.

[@TheArtofCodeIsCool]

Awesome! I'm glad you liked it :)

[@davegreen7955]

Can please hurry up and release a book teaching beginners through to advanced, I would literally throw my money at you.

[@NikolaNevenov86]

functions are nice, but drawing on the screen is even nicer

[@jviper2004]

Ah.....back to some classic raymarching.....

[@TanatomorFozis]

Is it C#?

[@kingdavidjapan]

It's GLSL.

[@Chayat0freak]

GLSL is like C with bits added, so it does look and act a bit like other C languages, such as c# but there's no OOP
