at this rate we might actually have full AI-generated movies within a couple of years instead of the five i thought it was going to take

obscure blender api question
has anyone messed around with custom render engines in blender? following https://docs.blender.org/api/current/bpy.types.RenderEngine.html i have a basic thing working, but i cannot get GPU drawing like the examples in https://docs.blender.org/api/current/gpu.html to work in the view_draw method...
the GPU examples work for me, but only when i use bpy.types.SpaceView3D.draw_handler_add. when i try and move that logic into my render engine's view_draw method i don't see anything.
that was my one and only take on tim apple, pls don't defederate
if they solved the limited FOV, short battery life and dimness of previous AR goggles, it will be worth the price for a lot of people. if not, it will be another overhyped tech demo
what is everyone using for random numbers for games that need a more natural random number distribution than plain rand()?

A friend in Germany just sent this to me. This is how gaming journalists took a #screenshot, back in the day.
i love how the NPC dialogue in TOTK is modified by the weather. such a simple trick but it works really well to ground them in the world.

Enough of fooling around.. Time to get serious about lights and shadows, and to build some scenes! Here are some repeating cylinders, borrowed more or less directly from Shadertoy :) The two images differ in the amount of Simplex noise mixed into the hatching vector field.

in absolute awe of the Zelda:TOTK physics engine. to be completely stable while giving the player ability to create arbitrary constraints is an incredible achievement! also very curious how much it will break at 60+ fps in emulators.
