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.

Blender 3D : Create a desert camouflage material with nodes.

Today I will show you how you can create new material like a Desert Camouflage Mosaic.
Open your Blender 3D and remove the default cube and add a plane.
You can use the default cube if you want.
Go to the main menu and select the Shading tab.
Using the keys Shift+A and Search option add these nodes to your 3D object (plane or cube).
