more realistic cloth in the browser 🧵 parallax occlusion mapping, edge fraying, warp & weft properties, transparency map derived from height + albedo and more params on top of @fal PATINA model-generated pbr texture built in @threejs with my best friends opus and fable

@ranli_thinker @Google graphics engineering? estellekimdev.com

We are hiring exceptional engineers with insane design taste at @Google Someone who: - is deep into systems (latency / scale / pipeline / optimization) - is a super hacker and super builder - lives and breathes media / visual / UX - has ridiculous storytelling instincts We are an AI prototyping lab. We build frontier AI initiatives and things that literally didn’t exist before. Every week feels like science fiction. We use every AI tool you can think of to turn impossible ideas into reality. We work with frontier models like Omni, Genie, alongside the world’s best filmmakers, artists, and creators. Our bar is stupidly high. If this sounds like you, drop me your portfolio.

feeding my obsession with tiny graphics tools for super-specific behaviors

🍍? tiny experiment turning pictures into pbr textures with @fal PATINA (& doctoring height maps with photoshop)

weekend in LA 📷

‘projection’ where r/g/b channels behave freely and converge upon the click of a mouse built by generating a silhouette of an androgynous person, using it as the first and last frame of multiple generated videos, and layering / creating projector effect w/ glsl and css layers

non-duality additive color blending + webgl shading + video generation 📚

a prototype for my portfolio landing page: i kept editing text descriptions that tried to say too much in a linear format - this time, i turned it into a visual graph that shows where i am, smaller fields it led me to, and where i’m dipping one foot in.

@richardzphotoz i’d love to connect! looking for cool people and opportunities in comp graphics / design eng :)

Looking to meet new engineering and technical talent. If you’re someone who’s exploring new opportunities/want to join high growth startups let me know. Have some friends looking.

@loktar00 13 years ago 😮 this is super cool- i’m imagining it on a landing page or transition screen. thanks for sharing!!

@estellespace Hah saw this and it reminded me of something similar I did like 13 years back, yours is much cooler of course :P codepen.io/loktar00/detai…
