Fed up with the appalling swimwell website and trying to find an opening in the next session for my kid. So I wrote an app auto check the website every hour and alert me when a space opens up. #techdad #swimlessons #rust

I'm planning to teach a free online interactive course about projective geometric algebra, probably starting in a couple months. It would be similar to a one-quarter college course meeting at same times every week. What days would work best for everyone, and what time of day? (I'm in the US Pacific time zone.)
All of the subject material will come from my book:

Metal devs, which do you think is better, a small SwiftUI view that contains a cube for camera rotation and axis snapping.Or render out to a second texture,resize and make it appear above all other objects in the scene? I’m leaning towards Swift UI,but would love to hear thoughts

It’s been a busy few weeks. Currently working on SubD integration. 7million polys to 28million in 4ms blew my mind. But now to get the loading times increased.

Sometimes you get so caught up in all the pretty polygons and functionality you forget about the little things.. this was one of them 😅

We added some helpful feedback for saving a scene and making sure you don’t lose any of that unsaved creativity.

Been a busy week tracking down a nasty little half edge bug, but finally fixed it and with the updates can start to roll again 😁

Research Twitter, I have seen Gaussian Splatter which looks awesome, but have no idea how one could implement it due to licensing. Do you have to do your own kind of research that somehow ends up in the same place using other kinds of techniques, to implement it in a product🤔

Finally got the last bug out of the cut tool, so you can go full crazy slice and dice on a polygon.

Graphics Twitter, I’m working on rendering edges using instanced cards. Any recommendations? I’m in the process of converting the cards to orient towards camera and be in screen space on the GPU. Any suggestions for things to look out for, or gems of knowledge, I’m all ears 😁
