growing trees


I like Darwinia a lot. That's a game you *have* to try if you haven't done it yet! I could not resist to start making own procedural graphics stuff :) The web is full of nice tutorials and explanations how this is done. Recommended to read : new science. Very big fat book but contains useful algorithms and nice pictures.

<3 OpenGL


Listening to Boards of Canada and playing around with OpenGL ... Mirror-effect is done by simply copying the whole framebuffer as a texture (glCopyTexImage2D) and blitting one quad with a slight drop of blue in it. Flares are nice, I think I'll write some kind of intro/demo when I have more ideas :-) BTW Texture used in cube is from one of my favourite anime movies .. Laputa : Castle in the sky.

sauna

Visited Porvoo in the weekend. Very nice city! Apparently cats over there like sauna quite much :-)
