@HereForOneGhost @sensha_do @MintFantome oh does the version that's coming out on monday have anything new? or is it just trimming down the original vod? i'm debating whether to watch it now or later

@sensha_do @MintFantome Yes, you can watch it now. The whole 1.5 hour wait screen is still there so just jump ahead lol

The stream vod preview stream will be up Monday!! Sorry, there's a few tech things they're sorting out before I show!!!🙇‍♀️

@idlematts 🫂

Welp, grandma died about 30 minutes ago

@MintFantome @nanoplasm you're so obsessed with her omg

@nanoplasm I was just thinking the same thing!!!

mint fantome

@MintFantome GMM!!!

GOOD MORNING MINTO!!!

@furraridriver i know i'm excited for the next one ^^ really cool to see you working through the series in the year 2025

bizarrely enough, my riven stream seems to be doing rather well algo-wise compared to my typical stream vods. especially considering it’s a 6 and a half hour stream of a 90s game

@gupple86 from one pomu to another - hello!!!

While the fanbase formerly known as wisps continues to go nameless for the foreseeable future I have decided to make the bold decision to name myself and invite others to follow suit I'm Pomu 🧚🍂

@maplesights yeah!! even if it were just a regular rock concert i'd go in a heartbeat

been watching clips of the bocchi the rock live stage and man it looks like a lot of fun and the live performances are actually pretty good. it's probably an impossible dream but i hope i'll have the chance to watch smth like that in person one day

@cyanoacry I've been idly thinking about this ever since pomu put herself on that high altitude weather balloon. unfortunately getting to orbit and beyond is probably still beyond the reach of a fully fan (funded + made) effort 🥲

i want to do oshikatsu in space. on the moon. on mars. in LEO. in MEO. in transfer orbits oshikatsu, everywhere!!!

@MintFantome it's me, i'm fan of mint fantome

hello fans of mint fantôme!!!!

@yiningkarlli There's... a live action Moana remake? as in, the same Moana that came out less than ten years ago...?

So there was this really great Youtube video that came out over the weekend about why a lot of modern movies just don't feel "real" anymore and generally kind of look terrible. Anyhow in other news I just saw the trailer for the live action Moana remake. youtube.com/watch?v=tvwPKB…

@romblymo @naniwa_zuni but is ricotta even flavorful enough to be noticed in a white sauce? you're basically melting milk into more milk

@naniwa_zuni Just put Ricotta in you're Bechamel and then rub your big belly after eating it

juli and i are fighting about lasagna

@MintFantome GMM!!

GOOD MORNING MINTO!!!

@lisyarus Perhaps the mismatch is simply too big then? In my experiments, I found that ignoring even just one term (visibility, so V * Li * fr -> Li * fr) introduced a surprising amount of noise

@turtlespook The target function is costly to evaluate, so I'm approximating it with a gaussian, and the RIS weights come from this gaussian

Sampling the gaussian lobe using reservoir sampling and using it as the importance direction. Once again the amount of noise is pretty much the same as with uniformly random directions :/

@niro_koo @naniwa_zuni this is FOUL

@naniwa_zuni "bug that's vaguely asian" 😭😭😭

@lisyarus I wasn't sure from your description whether you're using {hemisphere, Gaussian, SH, etc.} purely for sample generation, or to calculate the weights as well

@lisyarus I could be way off-base on this, but I think a key part of reservoir sampling is using a target function (weight) that matches the integrand? If any of the terms are neglected - visibility, Li, BRDF - you'll end up with some residual noise

@ashlee3dee looks even cooler with the camera in motion!

standard bokeh vs swirly bokeh people pay a lot of money for special pieces of glass that do this to light. turns out its not that complicated to simulate in blender :)

@MintFantome @Kenzen_Ichigo GOOD MORNING MINTO!

@Kenzen_Ichigo GOOD MORNING MINTO!!!

No Minto is already suffering enough, but no GOOD MORNING MINTO is ending me...

@megsylhydrazine congratulations!

Manifesting 👉👈

@KostasAAA Very cool! is there some kind of "canonical reference" for the spatial hashing technique? I've seen the term used for GI solutions (like this), some ML stuff (instant-NGP), collision detection/nearest neighbor search... it's not clear to me if they're referring to the same thing

Did a quick and dirty implementation of a spatial hash structure to speedup RTAO, ray results are stored in cells indexed by pos/normal/cell size and after storing a few rays occlusion can be queried from the cell instead of raytracing it. 3x faster RTAO with no denoising.
