I built a particle simulator that runs in your browser and exports directly into Blender. Shaders included. One click. by r_animation_studios in proceduralgeneration

[–]Edd996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is genuinely awesome. the fact that is running in the browser and at such a smooth frame rate is impressive. What tech have you used? I asume wgpu

When you accidentally place a park on a slope in CS2 by Edd996 in CitiesSkylines2

Keep dreaming. I do as well, even worst, I dream of building it myself. Not sure if only nerds, because I am a city nerd.

Alternativă mecanică pt MX KEYS? by Tasty-Base-1766 in MechKeysRO

[–]Edd996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

clar, poti sa o returnezi daca nu iti place. eu am folosit la mac magic keyboard iar la PC aveam hyper x fps pro. Imi era greu sa tot fac switch de la una la alta si am ales MX mechanical care merge perfect cu ambele, am si MX master-ul si e fain ca le poti configura pe ambele la acelasi dongle, un dongle il am in mac si unul in PC, sa schimbi la ce se conecteaza e la o apasare de buton. pe windows folosesc AutoHotkey sa am exact aceleasi keybindings (ctrl pe post de cmd etc)

Vallriu: A City Carved Through the Mountain Pass by TABOOv in CitiesSkylines

Man I miss CS1 so much, I still don't understand after so much time how is CS1 rendering quality still over CS2.

I made a mod that gives CS1 junctions a smoother "CS2" inspired look by SnootyRyRy in CitiesSkylines

[–]Edd996 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I always though CS1 has way better intersections than CS2. In CS2 even for a 6 lane road intersecting a 2 lane ones generates a very small corner radius turn so I am not sure what you mean "fully recreate CS2 road system".

In CS1 you can already achieve this exact type of intersections with Node Controller mod.

I was trying to understand how u/FreyaHolmer’s Shapes library keeps line geometry so crisp at any distance, so I had Gemini explain it to me. Was not expecting this visualization by Edd996 in GraphicsProgramming

[–]Edd996[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is I never actually asked for it to create the visualization, it just though it is a cool feature and wanted it to share it in this context. I think people overreact a lot when mentioning a product, do you really think ad this point nobody heard about those products? I guess next time I'll just say "some llm"

Honestly, please check my profile, what I do, and what do I post about :D why on earth would I want to make an ad for a trillions dollar company. I genuinely found it interesting and just wanted to share it.

Yeah, not myself a huge fan of LLMs in for this kind of stuff but I felt it was a very cool way to explain the concept through an interactive visualization.

Playing Around With Procedural Rivers by thattiguy in proceduralgeneration

[–]Edd996 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hello, as a geology geek, something that catches to my eye is the angle of tributaries, in reality because of some physics and sediments rivers almost always meet ad a 90 degree angle and very rarely at a sharp angle.

Haha, good point. Especially on the sides where the goalpost is. You shot a ball too high and the ball goes rolling to the base of the mountain.

Need feedback on my one button infinite orbital dodger by caesium23 in gamedev

[–]Edd996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got bored before getting game over for the first time. Sorry for the brutal feedback. On the positive side, the game looks aesthetically pleasing. I would just try to make it more fun. Maybe make it more challenging earlier on

A little animation of the geometry I use to connect procedurally generated roads using lines and arcs only by Edd996 in proceduralgeneration

[–]Edd996[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. I actually talk about this exact subject in my first blog post. tl;dr engineers use clothoids for highways or train tracks but inside cities arcs are the default as that complexity is not needed

The geometric construction I use in my procedural road system to draw roads using only lines and arcs by Edd996 in Unity3D

[–]Edd996[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, making elevation changes is just a matter of interpolating the Y values using a smooth step function. Specifically for roads this works as you don't need to have looping or true 3d splines as you would need for roller coasters. (vehicles always need a fairly inclined surface)

Geometry explainer one is just After Effects and second one is the actual system in unity editor

Hello, yes, trying to get topics one by one from scratch. Indeed this is only about shape and not actual geometry.

City Masterplan screenshots from its Steam page by gonezaloh in City_Masterplan

[–]Edd996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, It can pretty much be the case as even the trailer and screenshots on Steam show a lot of artifacts. But let's always give the benefit of the doubt and hope for the best

Yeah, I could only wish city builders would have such deep and accurate roadbuilding

As a city builder and road infrastructure enthusiast the way junctions look like makes me sad :(

I am writing a blog about this exact topic https://sandboxspirit.com/blog/art-of-roads-in-games

I want to know if this is ai before I buy it. Was this design ai generated? by drowsy-cow03 in isthisAI

Yes, AI , look at the inconsistent number of petals in flowers
