gltf VS Primitive Pictures

This is a very ugly and confusing site which claims to be an overview of the format. I balked after trying in vain to parse it for two minutes. So off to the wiki.

Rustracer: a PBR glTF 2.0 renderer based on Vulkan ray-tracing, written in Rust.

I've found glTF ( https://www.khronos.org/gltf/ ) to be quite simple. The entire format is encompassed in something like a dozen entity types. Nice visual overview here:

Do yourself a favor and learn about making glFT files. That's the format they're using internally. One file, with everything self contained plus more advanced shader features than OBJ.

Looks like a GLTF file. https://www.khronos.org/gltf/

There are no standard 3d formats at the moment that you can use and view in VR with the same ease as you could a png/jpeg on a desktop, VR is still very much based around full apps with their own proprietary formats. But glTF/glb at least can be imported with reasonable ease into many different places, e.g. both the WMR and Oculus home environments have importer for them.

- Exporting as .obj might be a bit of a poor/outdated choice, please check gltf

hmm. never heard of GLTF. A quick look on their site shows max/maya/houdini/blender/C4D so thats good. It seems to be roylty free. Is it open source? Is that something I should be looking for?

Thank you for the response. The subreddit /glTF is basically dead because no one can post without moderator approval and the moderator has been inactive for the past 3 years. Can you please let me know what the "other reasons" are why you will not approve my request? I work for The Khronos Group who created and maintains glTF. Please see www.khronos.org/gltf for more information. Thank you for your reconsideration.

TIL about https://github.com/fogleman/primitive from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_raster-to-vect...

Looks great! I've been thinking of having my own attempt at something like this ever since I saw a similar idea at primitive.lol

Looks like it's made with https://github.com/fogleman/primitive

If you're looking for a more artistic arrangement of coloured blocks, and you've got some skills (or a Mac), there is this one application that's fun to play with. But I'm sure there are other ways.

Some examples off the top of my head (not game-dev specific) are https://www.michaelfogleman.com/ (creator of https://primitive.lol/), Marco Arment (https://marco.org/ - Overcast), or Pieter Levels (sadly as I write this I found that his blog seems to have been taken down and just redirects to his twitter https://twitter.com/levelsio?ref=levels.io - but still has a laundry list of projects old and new in his twitter bio)

Any ideas on how I could simply cross-compile a non-module GitHub repository to three different architectures with predictable filenames? I wouldn't mind setting up a go.mod file, the problem is I would like to compile the executable in the github.com/fogleman/primitive repository, not my own code.

Consider an SVG from [Primitive](https://github.com/fogleman/primitive) and a mostly-transparent overlay containing the diff against the original image. Tuning Primitive is not entirely deterministic (like your algorithm) and I think a human interface for the front-end would allow a few knobs to erase parts of the diff in order to shrink the detail imperceptively. Seems like a good opportunity for a contest :)

I think stroke-based painting methods like these are neat: https://github.com/jiupinjia/stylized-neural-painting https://github.com/fogleman/primitive
