secondary motion constraints in mittens-engine
now you nest one of these:
ReturnToRestWhenStill {
motion_threshold(0.028)
still_for(0.4)
}
on a SpringBone{} component
next i will support stylized angle-dependent motion sensitive pose snapping for spring bones

ToonOutline component for mittens-engine.
just talking a bit, and physically gesturing to demo the normal-expansion inverted hull outlines.
A bit of overhead added, but they make use of the gpu-side skinning cache at least, then expand along normals

Wait I'm high 🤣
It's using 40 MB.
This is the proper Apple experience to be honest.
This is what it's supposed to be like using an Apple product

Got it.
Gentoo With the 6.6 PPC kernel from the Adelie image / boot disk since compiling 6.18 on the single core PPC took about 36 hours and didn't end up working

Apparently there's like the evil and the good version of open firmware depending on if you ended up there from an error or not
And if you're in the good version it will let you boot from USB devices

So I got a bootloader installed.. I got grub installed.
After blessing the HFS attributes.
Now Gentoo won't launch from grub because of an invalid memory address and open firmware isn't letting me boot from USB 🥀

Adelie Was the only PPC distro that would boot.
Using an adelie boot disk (+ helper scripts / creating a Linux distro lol) to install Gentoo which should have actual packages for things and they should work theoretically.
It was the partition map or bootloader or both? I got stuck on last time

Trying to install Linux on iMac again..
So far I have a fancier boot disk And some failure telemetry from open firmware being picky about the exact alignment of partition tables

why not both?
but i do wonder, is it *meditative* to contemplate the destruction of something? even something evil like the CCP?

Rider and Mountable components,
+ underlying attachment_system,
+ new spatial model of `Zone`s
powering managed component attachments,
(and eventually the other spatial models like bounds and spring bone colliders will use zones internally)

controlling only 1 rotation axis at a time in xr feels worse than i thought. going to default the editor gizmos [when used from an xr Pointer] to controlling pitch+yaw+roll simultaneously.
still very cool imo to be able to do this in #vr instead of in blender.

grid drawing is now decent.
there was a bug where the raycastable wouldnt be picked up on grids, which is fixed now.
that had basically prevented initiating a paint stroke / free draw when there was nothing behind grid.
so now u can move the grid around and draw

thats not bad actually.
didn't match the white balance or lighting between the 2 photos and the original object is no longer in this configuration unfortunately.

i know someone who has done this,
but they're also the kind of person that doesn't spend that much time on social media..
..so it seems like there's correlation between being chronically online and needing to investigate things that are disturbing (vs things that are soothing / calming)

RoughTransmission component / material in mittens-engine
just screen space effects.
several layers of down-sampling and blurring.
Also added a proper Unlit{} component (to change the shading model of a Renderable), supporting Color and Texture.
