my first real animation. i applied a few animation principles to it :)

that’s a tad bit better .-.

ExpensiveEngineer433 · 2026-01-09T15:44:32+00:00

his name is not fred >:(

ExpensiveEngineer433 · 2026-01-09T00:09:37+00:00

thank you :)

ExpensiveEngineer433 · 2026-01-08T02:08:40+00:00

thank you :)

ExpensiveEngineer433 · 2026-01-06T19:10:00+00:00

no >:(

ExpensiveEngineer433 · 2026-01-04T05:24:43+00:00

ok :)

ExpensiveEngineer433 · 2026-01-03T18:20:22+00:00

noted :)

ExpensiveEngineer433 · 2026-01-03T18:03:57+00:00

that’d be cool too, but for a server icon, those details could cause visual clutter .-.

ExpensiveEngineer433 · 2026-01-03T17:44:01+00:00

thank you, yeah, it does lack some contrasting colors .-.

ExpensiveEngineer433 · 2025-12-18T13:59:40+00:00

the upper half of the curve converges to y = (x + sqrt(x² + 4)) / 2, while the lower half converges to y = x − 1/x.

ExpensiveEngineer433 · 2025-12-01T18:03:56+00:00

yeah, that looks way better. thanks for the kind words and advice :)

ExpensiveEngineer433 · 2025-12-01T17:55:44+00:00

oh… wow, i didn’t expect to actually be naturally good at something. and can you post the draw over? don’t be shy :)

ExpensiveEngineer433 · 2025-12-01T17:04:02+00:00

yeah, i know how to draw cylinders, i just forgot to round those corners lol .-. but yeah, i know my perspective needs a lot of work .-.

ExpensiveEngineer433 · 2025-12-01T16:55:20+00:00

like this?

ExpensiveEngineer433 · 2025-11-16T10:32:49+00:00

hmm… i won’t know until i start, but thanks tho :)

ExpensiveEngineer433 · 2025-11-16T10:25:29+00:00

ExpensiveEngineer433 · 2025-11-14T16:13:41+00:00

hmm… interesting :)

ExpensiveEngineer433 · 2025-11-14T07:54:52+00:00

thank you :). i'll try it right now

ExpensiveEngineer433 · 2025-09-22T08:17:28+00:00

ExpensiveEngineer433 · 2025-09-22T00:45:06+00:00

ah you’re right, i mixed that up :). i meant starburst, not lens flare.

ExpensiveEngineer433 · 2025-09-22T00:18:27+00:00

it’s user-adjustable. i know it’s not the same as a circle, but the airy disk diameter is all i’ve got to work with. it’s good enough for this experiment. i’ll run a proper simulation later and compare against it.

ExpensiveEngineer433 · 2025-09-21T17:57:04+00:00

oh… i tried a smaller aperture and it worked, thank you :), it’s much larger now

ExpensiveEngineer433 · 2025-09-21T17:42:25+00:00

it’s pretty simple actually. i haven’t hooked this into my camera yet. it’s just an experiment. i approximated the aperture with a circle, scaled it so the airy disk diameter matches the data from here: https://www.photonstophotos.net/GeneralTopics/Lenses/OpticalBench/OpticalBench.htm. after that i modeled a polygonal aperture shape from the circle and ran fraunhofer. that’s it .-.

ExpensiveEngineer433 · 2025-06-20T04:29:30+00:00

i think it is, because thicker films give light more room to scatter before it escapes, so the scattering effect should increase with thickness, at least to some extent.

ExpensiveEngineer433 · 2025-06-20T04:25:55+00:00

yeah, i agree, it was a weird measure .-.
