Replying to @dangreenheck
same, feel mostly bored. these are all but the last remnants. abstractions (threejs) will go, agents just write wgpu. open source will go. sharing solutions ends, problems are just an amount of tokens. it's the death of human ingenuity, everything gets dumb and lifeless.

The growth of a shader, over time (testimony of my overused macbook) I've been learning Rust + wgpu from scratch these past weeks. The goal is to replace the OGL layer on my portfolio with my own rendering engine, written in Rust, compiled to WebAssembly. #rust #webgpu #wasm

globing some minor sandboxes together that have crept up. too specific or simple to be added to fiber docs but could help someone nonetheless. 01. model loading, custom environments, reflections, effects codesandbox.io/s/astronaut-h…

It's also incredibly rewarding being able to manifest your creations in the browser.
Learning how to code was the best decision I made as a designer.

Today was optimisation day, the entire website went from around roughly 30Mb to only 2.5 ! I took the time remaking the textures in #substancepainter to correct some uv seams that were visible, and then exported them as #webp images. Enhanced visuals, reduced carbon footprint🫡
