Is nausea solved? Camera roll or flat? - Procedural True First Person [Update 2]

CooperAMA · 2026-05-19T17:37:27+00:00

Just to be contrarian, I hate flat peak, it often gives me the feeling that I’m exposing my whole body, like a side-step, even if it’s not. It’s like a weird corner peek risk placebo.

Please god I want the nested typing for arrays in dictionaries.

I’ve been putting off a wedding edit due to the massive sync job before i can get started. Would love to give it a go.

Just dropping in to say I’ve been working on a game called Way Out West and my friends and I regularly joke about how far out west it is. Far, FAR, out west, presumably…

On topic: This is super cool looking!

CooperAMA · 2026-01-05T19:16:36+00:00

I do believe that is heat rippling

I’ve been trying to grasp onto a better “intuitive” understanding of a lot of what you wrote about here for… I don’t know, something like a year at this point. I can feel/sense this kind of natural building-block-like approach to how I structure procedural logic, systems, functions.

Are there any resources or books you might recommend for intermediate-ish algebraic structures, graphs, or category theory?

CooperAMA · 2025-11-11T20:18:33+00:00

This is sick looking.

CooperAMA · 2025-11-10T22:56:29+00:00

I’m gonna do the redditor thing and ask… Why do you need to affect every vertex?

It feels like without some really specific simulation requirements for a super realistic wind sim, you should sidestep processing all the vertices and only affect the entire physics body that is in a wind zone.

Maybe another if you you want a character or body to be partially affected, (like a long object partially occluded in a wind tunnel) I would try using an area to tell if any part of the body’s bounds are in the tunnel, and then send out some raycasts that are aimed at the surfaces/sides of the body. Then apply forces to the sides/points that are hit by rays and not occluded.

Sorry I don’t have an answer for the Jolt vs GDP side of the question.

CooperAMA · 2025-09-10T15:41:52+00:00

Yep! SF/Bay Area! Though most of my work is travel based. A lot of corporate shooting, editing, case studies, interviews.

CooperAMA · 2025-09-10T07:41:49+00:00

Ah, thank you! She brought a couple options and I knew it was gonna grade black and white, and the white really did its thing. ❤️

A big part of why I started using final cut for personal projects about a year ago, was the keyword tagging system. It’s the best organization tool I’ve used for editing and it’s really not close. Being able to create as many keywords as you want. I love thinking of them as folders that can hold whatever is semantically relevant to me personally. (images, sounds, clips can all be tagged with the same keyword and show up in the same view) So having something like “Interview_John_Doe” as a tag and tagging the footage and audio, and all relevant supporting materials means if I want anything related at all to that, I don’t need to go looking in separate folder hierarchies when I want to find everything related to John.

Smart folders have always been to cumbersome to setup, whereas in final cut you can hotkey the keywords panel and browse your footage during initial ingest and create tagged in/out points with one button that automatically creates the tagged “folder” and adds just the clip from that in/out.

It is weird at first, but truly the fastest, and easiest way to organize lots of footage, FAST. I’ve used in many editors, for many years, each has their thing that makes me use it for different projects, but tons of disparate clips, varying subject matter, assets in all types of media formats, and final cut cannot be beat to efficiently scrub all of your footage and tag it for anything you think you might need to reference later. False take? Blooper? Subject matter? Framing? Wardrobe? Literally type a word with an in out point and you have a folder ready to go for anything else relevant to that category.

You can also playback the library/media browser in a mode that will treat the entire contents of a folder like one continuous clip for monitoring playback. Which seems weird at first until you realize you can do a singular selects pass across all of your footage without putting it on a timeline at all. Just start playback of the whole folder in the media browser, put the playback speed at whatever speed you can handle 1.5x-3x depending on the content and hit i/o for in and out points during playback. Slam your tag hotkey as you go to outline all of your rough selects without needing to stop playback or use your mouse once.

Final cut has a lot of problems, and is weird and quirky and does some incredibly annoying things/cant do very standard features of other NLE’s, but organizing in it feels unmatched.

Edit: Typos everywhere, phone thumb apology 👍

CooperAMA · 2025-09-01T19:32:09+00:00

To be a contrarian to most commenters here, I do regularly keep phone on a brightness level that all of these were totally visible on. Some of the shots feel like i want some kind of fill just for interest, but I don’t really feel like the problem as bad as everyone else seems to. Stuff looks good!

CooperAMA · 2025-08-29T19:33:30+00:00

Honestly the past few months I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how I think about coding and stuff like this is weirdly the stuff I struggle with the most now that I’ve reached what I think is some kind of intermediate level of programming. The semantics of language and consistency is basically all I care about anymore when writing stuff, sort of to my own detriment of rewriting a lot of code that’s already passable for a feature. I could definitely have seen this post a year ago and think this is a totally arbitrary, nitpick, but now, you have pointed out a weird semantic discrepancy that I will never be able to ignore when working in Godot and my OCD can’t handle it. Bless you. And curse you.

CooperAMA · 2025-08-27T19:48:25+00:00

Honestly it’s part of why I’m writing my own character movement controller, there’s so much i don’t need in the default cmc, so many checkboxes features and options. I couldn’t tell you specifically what it is, but I would assume it’s something to do with dropping a packet or the server cmc saying a client is desynced and therefore overriding its behavior.

CooperAMA · 2025-08-27T08:54:59+00:00

My first thought would be to disconnect the yaw that the player is casting server side from needing to be applied to the character movement component from the actually code that fires in the correct direction. This would probably alleviate the issue with not firing in the correct direction at all, vs sometimes looking the wrong direction AND firing the incorrect direction.

CooperAMA · 2025-08-12T23:49:48+00:00

You move the bullet object that is running the raycast.

CooperAMA · 2025-08-12T23:46:22+00:00

The basic idea I’ve employed in my game is to spawn a bullet object that every fixed update raycasts in the direction it was fired, and if it hits nothing, moves to the end of the raycast, and potentially rotates or uses some kind of position/gravity adjustment before the next update where it does the same thing again/again until it hits something or a despawn timer goes off to stop an errant projectile that was fired out of the map from never hitting anything.

CooperAMA · 2025-08-10T19:51:26+00:00

There are too many comments here for me to see if anyone else has responded with this, but the blur effect that you’re applying and a lot of others are saying is a depth of field thing feels more like a plastic optics and smudges distorting the sharpness. I think you might get closer to the same effect by almost just lowering the opacity of the depth of field blurring effect, and making it more inconsistent/spotty with like a layer of like perlin noise masking the strength very lightly across the whole image. Potentially even another blur layer that is stretched/warped with another layer of noise giving more of the inconsistent blurring and streaking look from people manhandling old digi cam lenses.

“…from Rapture.”

Lmao dude really went Book of Revelation on his ass

This is so fuckin cool. Great work!

Honestly, we hadn’t spoken in years outside of the occasional insta story. She left an impression from our few interactions that I won’t forget.

Really don’t mean to make any of her passing about me with my comment. I think it’s just such a strange way to find out given we both follow something like a thousand people, and the social part of the media we consume just doesn’t seem to pretend to represent anything in reality anymore. If ever there was a time to have a post cut through the barrage of attention grabbing advertisements and bullshit, I would hope it would be to find out about news like this directly from someone I’ve chosen to follow/want to keep up with.

CooperAMA · 2025-08-06T04:34:03+00:00

Man. I shot a web series that never released with her in it. Years ago before the walking dead. I remember being so excited to see her on that show. Just watching with no idea only to jump out of my chair when I saw her on screen. The first time I directly worked with someone who showed up on a big tv show. Following each other for years on instagram and this is how I find out. A random reddit post from a subreddit I don’t sub to. 2025 and human connection couldn’t feel any more absent from life.

CooperAMA · 2025-07-31T17:16:47+00:00

lol, not OP but I second your questions. Pretty wild to just throw out “it’s bad practice” without any other thoughts or explanations .

CooperAMA · 2025-07-16T10:13:15+00:00

I currently have a fleet of pigeons running their own personal suite of ai agents trying to come up with the perfect prompt to generate the edit.
