Tool with S.D.K. for your avatar .

This is a useful tool I discovered on web about avatars feature.
The development team comes with this infos:
We recommend trying Avatar SDK with a desktop/laptop browser. If you want to try Avatar SDK on a mobile phone, you can use the applications for iOS and Android. Also you can look at RemoteFace, our virtual camera for video conferencing that shows your avatar driven by camera and lipsync instead of the usual video feed.
Face capture SDK allows you to create facial animations with a web camera.
A good example to convert a simple 2D photo into 3D object can be found on this demo webpage build with Unity 3D.
You can see a video demo from YouTube:

Shadertoy: Build a cross intersection - 001.

Based on this tutorial created by Inigo Quilez I created a new cross intersection shader:

The shader is very simple.
I created a black box and then colored all the areas in the corner of this box with black.
I left a white area to see the cross.
You can see better if you change this line of source code:
...into this:
p_m = 1.0-p_m/(p_m+0.1);
or this:
p_m = 1.0-p_m*10.0/(p_m*10.0+0.1);
The shader can be ru and testd here:

New Krita 4.4.1 released.

Today, 29.10.2020, version 4.4.1 of the Krita drawing and animation program was launched.
You can download it and read more on the official website.
The development team comes with this useful information: Despite an extra-long beta period during which we got awesome feedback from our community, 4.4.0 was released with several regressions, that is, bugs that weren’t present in 4.3.0. So today we’re releasing Krita 4.4.1 with the following fixes: ... NOTE for Windows Users: Microsoft has changed the way applications signed with certificates are handled. Only Digicert certificates are automatically trusted, other certificates will only be trusted if enough people bypass smartscreen to run the signed application. If you see the “Windows protected your PC” screen, press “More Info”, then select “Run anyway”. The more people do this, the earlier Microsofts machine learning algorithm will learn Krita is perfectly fine.

Shadertoy: The sin math function - 002.

This is another shader example to draw a sine math function using a sine wave, see Wikipedia. I used shadertoy website and the mat sin function by time. The source code is commented for a better understanding of it.
// this size of line to paint each pixel from screen
const float size = 0.01;

void mainImage( out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord )
{
    // Normalized pixel coordinates (from 0 to 1)
    vec2 uv = fragCoord/iResolution.xy;
    // resize uv 
    uv = uv  * 2.0;
    // translate normalized pixel coordinates uv from [0,1] to [-1, 1] with 
    uv = (uv - 1.0);

    // get uv.x aspect ratio
    uv.x *= iResolution.x / iResolution.y;
  
    // get simple sine 
    //float t = sin(uv.x);

    // get sine * 3 with same size uv will zoom the sine graphic
    // see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_wave
    float t = sin(uv.x * 3.0);
    
 // select domain area of sine and drwa yellow color 
    // else put an blue color on rest
    if (uv.y >= t - size && uv.y <= t + size) {
        // draw sine
     fragColor = vec4(1.0,1.0,0.0,1.0);
    } else {
        // draw background
        fragColor = vec4(0.0,0.0,1.0,1.0);
    }
}
The result of this shader is this:

Shadertoy: A simple round square.

This is a simple tutorial about how you can create a simple round square build using the math function sqrt and the shadertoy web tool.
The source code is very simple and all the lines of source code come with explained comments
Let's see the source code:
// create a function for round square 
vec3 round_square( vec2 uv )
{
 // Set the size of the square, can be changed .01 6.
 float square_dimension = 6.;
 
 // Create math function for round sqare shape 
 float my_square = sqrt(length(pow(uv-vec2(.0,.0),vec2(square_dimension))))-.1;
 
 //Set default poz 
 vec3 poz = vec3(1.,1.,1.);
 
 // Return the result 
 return mix(vec3(0.1),poz*poz, smoothstep(0.,.001,my_square));
}

// Set color for the round square
vec3 color = vec3(.1, 76., 76.);

void mainImage( out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord )
{
 // Normalized pixel coordinates (from 0 to 1)
 vec2 uv = (fragCoord-.5*iResolution.xy)/iResolution.y;
 // Set color 0,0,0,0
 fragColor = vec4(0);
 // u=Use for to build with round_square
 for (int i = 0; i < 10+int(min(0,iFrame)); i++) {
 // Set UV2 from basic UV
 vec2 uv2 = uv + 1. / iResolution.y * 1.25;
 // Create the round square
 fragColor += vec4(round_square(uv2) + color.xyz , 1.);
 }
 // show the square
 fragColor.xyz = (fragColor.xyz/fragColor.w);
}
This is the result:

Godot 4.0 : New features for godot game engine.

I used this game engine with the property scripting code GDScript and is easy to learn.
This is an procedual programming scripting language without OOP features.
The Godot game engine can be used with C# programming language.
Now, the author of this article name Juan Linietsky comes with news:
Yes, indeed. Godot 4.0 will also have a very cool Voxel based real-time GI.

Still, that is a different technique aimed at different use cases. Lightmaps offer significant advantages over any other technique when the following requirements are met:

  • Performance above anything else (for mobile, lightmaps are still a must-have)
  • Quality above anything else (no light leaking, ideal for architecture)
  • Lighting will not change (lights won't move)

If these requirements are met, then lightmapping is probably the best for you.

On this official youtube channel the author show us the result of these features.
You can download this engine from the official webpage.

News: About the NVIDIA DLSS 2.0

This past week, NVIDIA announced an update to its Deep Learning Super Sampling technology, aptly dubbed DLSS 2.0.
Deep Learning Super Sampling named DLSS is an NVIDIA RTX technology that uses the power of AI to boost your frame rates.
DLSS essentially takes lower-resolution imagery, and intelligently upscales it to looks like native, higher-resolution output.
Performance was universally improved to varying degrees since the game was being internally rendered at a lower resolution, but image quality wasn’t always optimal and sometimes resulted in unwanted artifacts.
The old DLSS 1.0’s effect on game visuals and performance was a mixed bag, that varied from title to title.
The new DLSS 2.0 comes with DLSS 2.0 improved the quality, balanced, and performance by leveraging the Tensor cores available in its GeForce RTX-series GPUs.

Unity 3D : Use Quick Fix on Visual Code for Unity and Linux.

Because I don't use Unity 3D with Linux and Visual Studio today I solve another issue for the development area.
This is the quick fix option for Visual Code that helps the user to add source code.
For example, you can add source code for the implement an abstract class PlayerBaseState:
using UnityEngine;

public abstract class PlayerBaseState 
{
    public abstract void EnterState(PlayerController_FSM player);
    public abstract void Update(PlayerController_FSM player);
    public abstract void OnCollisionEnter(PlayerController_FSM player);
}
Create a new C# script named PlayerIdleState. The script needs to be changed into this source code:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerIdleState : PlayerBaseState
{
    
}
Select the PlayerIdleState and use these keys: Cmd or Ctrl and . (the point key) .
This will show a menu named Generate overrides... and help the developer to generate the new code:
The result is this source code with all new override for each of methods of PlayerBaseState class:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerIdleState : PlayerBaseState
{
    public override void EnterState(PlayerController_FSM player)
    {
        throw new System.NotImplementedException();
    }

    public override bool Equals(object obj)
    {
        return base.Equals(obj);
    }

    public override int GetHashCode()
    {
        return base.GetHashCode();
    }

    public override void OnCollisionEnter(PlayerController_FSM player)
    {
        throw new System.NotImplementedException();
    }

    public override string ToString()
    {
        return base.ToString();
    }

    public override void Update(PlayerController_FSM player)
    {
        throw new System.NotImplementedException();
    }
}
