I was curious about making some cloud shadows move across the map, so I made a procedural shader and attached the cookie to a directional light. Could be refined to make the shadows look even better, but even as is, it'll add a nice movement to a scene. #unity #gamedev #indiedev

Was looking through my photos and forgot about this one I took some years ago during the sunset as I looked over the lake. A very peaceful evening. #photography

I stayed at an Airbnb that had this section of the wall with a clock that looked really nice, even though the clock wasn't working and had an incorrect number on it. I'm going to make a 3D render of this photo. It has a nice minimalist feel to it. #photography

I miss the food in Japan. The tonkatsu we had in this small restaurant was very delicious and incredibly filling. It was a nice way to end the night. #japan #photography #food

I got my new portable studio last week and finally got around to testing it. The color balance is definitely nicer than the previous version that I had and much more spacious. I used a Miku figure I have for testing. #photography #miku

There's a bird in Antarctica that tries to the steal the penguin eggs. I don't know if this one succeeded while I was there. #photography #travel #antarctica

I've been periodically going through some backup recovery as I never fully restored my corrupted drives. In the meanwhile, I want to go back to see the wisteria in Japan. It's amazing how they cultivated it to spread out so much. #photography #travel #japan

Quick Unity sprite shader tip I just learned: You can separate the sprite color tint from the shader if it's messing up your effect by checking "Disable Color Tint," but Vertex Color still retains the tint, so you can mix and match effects as needed. #unity
