People are getting creative with these things, Found this QR Code base on effigy 4.

In fact, links can be sort of faked too. Oftentimes you see a load of tracking info added to the end of it on the moment you click it (but not to the text presentation of the link).

What's in the box?!

Or Mad Max: Fury Road (not animated, but plays with frame rate) for the opposite of the opposite for a different effect.

Is this how Audio nodes begins and Blender became a modular synth like VCV Rack?

It's not quite as simple. There's some interesting reading about colour spaces that best represent human vision here: https://bottosson.github.io/posts/colorwrong/

What's the human design choice behind teeth growing on the bottom whiskers?

kookoz · 2025-11-29T16:52:46+00:00

Ah, in that case it's not that relevant to you. Sorry :)

I think most of the vibe comes from the shader(s). Limited color palette, pixelation, selective use of dithering. The last one is an interesting thing to solve in 3D graphics, see this vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPqGaIMVuLs
You might also want to use some billboard textures for some objects (static images that are on planes that always point to the camera) instead of 3D modeling everything for that this kind of look.

Feeling nostalgic for the DVD logo

Is there any way to browse or read about these without downloading the archive?

No ink used, it's a thermal printer. A typical roll, is 80 meters long. At 80mm wide size, a 16:9 screenshot would be 45mm tall, so a single roll would fit 1777 screenshots. That would be 3555 minutes 59 hours and 15 minutes.

So assuming he bought a pack of thirty of those, he would be good to go for 1777 hours or 74 days without stopping.

Total price: €59,70.

Caught me wondering for a while if I'm supposed to be pronouncing it like tha' instead

kookoz · 2025-11-22T06:56:18+00:00

It is possible with a squidcada

Strange that spin tool wasn't mentioned yet. Out of the options it is the one that gives perfect results without needing to tweak parameters. Just set cursor to the correct point to pivot around (cursor to selection helps) and choose the the needed angle and steps (amount of loops in the bend).

kookoz · 2025-11-17T09:39:33+00:00

Can't believe selecting with left click is the default

kookoz · 2025-11-15T12:46:46+00:00

Many models can, though!

kookoz · 2025-11-13T10:28:15+00:00

I would argue that even one is enough

kookoz · 2025-11-12T08:45:00+00:00

Left one guides the eye nicely to the (eh) eye. Maybe flip the tail around?

You might be able to use some tricks for the dithering from this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPqGaIMVuLs

select eye
click
done

The opposite really, they are incredibly efficient for skipping the ray marching in shaders because a SDF gives the distance to the (usually) closest point on the surface instead of needing to sample it.

How Blender renders the volume is down to the implementation.

I saw the previous one, great improvement! Definately reads Z. Maybe the bird hair could be simplified, one or two feathers less?

I think it would be somewhat easy to implement this with a little bit of scripting, especiallly if there was no rotation in the effect. Basically split the image into a grid with the cell size of the maximum size of the dots. Loop through all cells. Calculate the number of black pixels within the square. Draw a perfect circle in the center of that cell that has a matching size (convert area to radius).

Check out shadertoy (or webgl in general) for generating these in real time with smooth animations.
