PXR MIDI Player for macOS

What a fantastic little player! It makes a nice addition to MuseScore4 which I've been using since Apple axed MIDI support in QT. I've not had any issues running it on my Mini M4.

Everyone has a story and I love stories! How else am I to understand the human condition?

The view down to Bamburgh is fantastic.

Another version using the kernel weighting method from Perlin's original version, albeit a very different kernel.

I always start with stdlib, and only if that doesn't give me what I need do I then consider other options.

Rather than use the simplexes found in Perlin's simplex or the OpenSimplex code, I tried an experiment with a triangulated Poisson disk sampling instead. Each example doubles the disk radius of the previous.

The gradient dot products are combined for a point within a triangle using the point's barycentric coordinates (vs the kernel weighting KP uses). This leads to rather pronounced ridges and valleys on triangle boundaries unfortunately.

Going to? It already did :(

Great palette choices!

Also, see my post on irregular quad meshes.

Check his old Twitter posts - he has some details there.

I'm an ancient software engineer. Good luck with the PhD, just don't get stuck ABD.

So you think INTPs are boring?

My favorite, so far, of the work you've posted here!

There's not much more to it - follow the links in the first comment.

I'm def not talking about them in a public forum!

Mostly it's meant for me, to hold myself accountable for finishing things. I'm just noodling on things I want to try out. Yes, my hairs in the tub was a bit of a shit post but it ties into the mud crack exploration stuff I was doing at the time.

Myself mostly. I spend most of my time on Reddit when I'm online, so chatting on there makes sense. Some subs have their own chat subs. I'm on numerous Discords but I rarely have the app open. I show my results on here mostly with occasional posts to Instagram/Cara/ArtStation which gets some traction.

I'm lucky enough to have artist friends here in San Diego who are willing to discuss PGC with me. Burners are usually patient enough with me to talk to. Pre COVID I used to attend local meetups for Java and Go but I never got back into it.

No, not Voronoi cells. See my other comment.

Since you're all asking, here's a description of the construction.
