ok, fixed it. Now it's boring

Jesse Doherty@jesse· 26d

improvement?

Jesse Doherty@jesse· 27d

ah yes, I missed these types of bugs...

I've been a little less focused on making videos lately and I've been sewing instead. I made these robes for my partner + kids to wear to a camping/festival thing they're going to in a few weeks. The blue adult one is in muslin and the kids' are cotton voile. The muslin was WAY more forgiving!

Cyberdeck? Writerdeck? A bunch of scrap stuck to a clipboard with a keyboard and boox tablet? Yes

Hoping to learn to visualize crochet work I decided to make a 3d model in blender. I'm not sure it helped...

a 3d model of the path yarn takes in crochet. It's a lot of loops... so many loops. It's a short chain stitch with one "single crochet".

Trying to get back to my #gameboy graphics videos and decided the best idea is to significantly change my rendering workflow

Jesse Doherty@jesse· Jun 21

I can crochet now! Not well but that should come with experience I hope I've tried to learn a few times before but never got it. For some reason this time it clicked!

Jesse Doherty@jesse· Jun 21

I also cleaned up the #davincifusion and #blender node graphs so that I'll hopefully understand them if I ever come back to them

A davinci resolve fusion node graph used to generate the timing video that controls when and how pixels fall.

A blender geometry node graph that generates a 256x144 grid of independent pixel squares, applies the gameboy-style video as a texture to the pixels, and uses the control video generated with davinci resolve to control when and how the pixel squares move.

Jesse Doherty@jesse· Jun 21

I refined the animation a bit so that it's a little more interesting / dynamic

Jesse Doherty@jesse· Jun 18

Proof of concept of another #vfx idea I had in my head. It's made with #davinciresolve and #blender. The pixels' movement is controlled by a video texture with the velocities baked into the rgb channels (z dir is acceleration e.g. gravity)

Jesse Doherty@jesse· Jun 10

More #blender #gameboy animation playing I'm still trying to figure out animation timing and what looks good. I've still got some learning to do with it!

Jesse Doherty@jesse· Jun 9

I had this #gameboy vfx thing in my head for a while, finally made it!

Jesse Doherty@jesse· May 31

Here's the same #blender scene rendered normally. The #gameboy is displaying a prerendered version of this scene with the game boy style. It's the same rendering as the post above

Jesse Doherty@jesse· May 31

Here's a slightly more complicated #blender scene with some random dithering. Hopefully it's obvious that the thing on the left is a #gameboy

Jesse Doherty@jesse· May 30

Well I guess I'm not finishing changing my tires today...

Making an attempt at creating a #blender compositing node graph to produce #gameboy style graphics. It's just using thresholds for the colour conversion with no dithering

These are some out of context screen grabs from my latest video: youtu.be/GtGfZ5f3s20 The context doesn't actually help for all of them though. The video's about disassemblers and why they're hard and impossible!

A collage of 4 pictures of me with the text "disassemblers?" overlayed. The pictures are of me dressed in midievally clothes writing with a quill, me in a bathtub wearing a top hat playing a gameboy, me facing the camera with light beams emanating around me from behind me, and red monochrome image of me in a messing and cramped workbench in a top hat, a tailcoat, and bowtie and wearing goggles

Jesse Doherty@jesse· May 22

Does anyone put more effort into silly video gags than I do? yeah probably But I still put in a lot!

Look how lovely!

Me and my 2 kids sitting outside. Behind us is a pedestrianized street with tents set up for the festival.

I was playing around with repeating pattern drawing and came up with these two

a repeating image. The repeated image consists of two game boys connected by a link cable, one game boy has headphones. There's a slice of pica, 4 AA batteries, and a magazine that looks like a game guide or something

A repeating pattern of game boys and multi-link adapters all connected together.

Jesse Doherty@jesse· May 2

I accomplished a thing! Took longer than expected because of surprise brick. Also would have been easier if my walls were flat. Turned out pretty good though Now to clean up...

A set of white ikea besta cabinets hung on a dark green wall. There are two rows of 5 cabinets. The top row has short rectangle cabinets and the bottom row square ones. The middle 3 bottom row cabinets have glass doors, the rest are solid. There are lights mounted in glass doored cabinets.

The ceiling and other walls are white.

Here's a break down of the steps to produce the result. On the left are two raw noise patterns Those get thresholded to b/w, they're the bitplanes They get decoded into pixels for each colour Then the colours are applied Finally the 4 sets of pixels are combined into the 8x8 tile

Jesse Doherty@jesse· Apr 8

Am I making a 2-bit-per-pixel palette-based rendering for a randomized 8x8 tile in davinci resolve fusion? ... yes #davinciresolve

Jesse Doherty@jesse· Mar 18

Making good priorities again! and more #blender playing The game boy is actually a 3d model that I made and textured. Couldn't have just used a flat image, nope. The moving grids are animated tiled textures. The "road" uses an image sequence, the "floor" animates by moning the UV coords.

Made some more movie covers to add variety

a 3d rendered scene like the interior of a blockbuster. I'm facing away from the camera. The movie shelves are filled with different movies with covers I made using photos of myself.

Jesse Doherty@jesse· Mar 11

Added more detail to this #blender scene. I think the improvement-to-effort ratio is getting a lot lower now though... There are a few details I want to add, and probably make more movie covers. I'm not sure if it's getting close to "good enough" though 😬

Jesse Doherty@jesse· Mar 9

Trying to get some randomization going. I have the number of copies in each stack randomized and each copy in a stack has a random side to side shift so they look more natural. I also want more movie covers but that requires making a bunch more of them

a 3d render of a bunch of forward facing stacks of movie cases placed in a 6x6 grid, like they might be placed in a video rental store.

Each stack has a random number of copies between 0 and 5. Each copy in the stacks have a random side to side shift to give a more organic look.

Jesse Doherty@jesse· Mar 8

more blender work on the shelves. Look at all those copies of the exciting new thriller! maybe I should finish the script for the video this is for...

Jesse Doherty@jesse· Mar 7

look as this beautiful wire shelf I made!
