Rayshader: now a realistic "flying through clouds" dream simulator in R with rayrender's new volume rendering! All I need to add now are whooshing air sounds and a faceless clown who slowly chases you throughout the scene—gaining, always gaining.

Ever wonder "how big is the `volcano` dataset in #RStats, really?"
No? Oh.
... Well, no need to (not) wonder any longer, thanks to rayshader's upcoming raypeople with render_people() + render_trails() here!

3D maps do more than just look appealing; they capture attention and make data storytelling easier.

Wtf was that Rayverse sound effect

Wtf was that Rayverse sound effect
Reading @tylermw.com's new post on the latest rayverse update.
Best lines so far:
"...a cartel of cartographers formed an illumination illuminati to plot an influence campaign so you would understand their plots."
"...in effect, all terrain maps are pretending to be Norwegian."
😂

Just amazing how Tyler keeps making the rayverse better year after year! Thank you! 😊😊

1/3‼️New #RStats package update! And it's a doozy! Announcing rayrender v0.38.0: the emoji + denoiser update! text3d() now support custom fonts and emojis (for better or for worse😉), and #rayrender now has realtime denoising support via OIDN! Which means no more multi-hour renders—Merry Christmas!

A belated #30DayMapChallenge 2024 round-up. 30 days, 28 visualisations. First time in four years I missed not one, but two. For some reason, it was a pretty rough month. Still mostly the #rayverse and #rstats where possible.

Turns out I shared over 2 gigs (3,000+) of visualisations since 2020, which is when I really got into the #rayverse. And it all started with a ggplot sword and a spinning pig.
Talk about obsession. Too bad I don't see much improvement. I should actually learn how to make maps.

I'd probably say follow me on bluesky at {domain} which isn't too awkward?
also i think the decentralized model suggests we'd eventually have spread out ATProto PDS servers so it might not be obvious to use xyz . bsky . social then

Tile-based card battle game "Rayverse" was already in hot water when it turned out that "Mistress of the Night", when attacking a player, would turn them into one of her Thralls . . . and, if the player had a male ingame avatar, they'd be made into a woman both ingame and IRL.

What can you do when you combine the great spatial ecosystem in R (sf, terra + many others) with rayshader? The only limit is your imagination.😎
Modeled. Animated. And Rendered. Entirely in R.
Rayshader 1.0 coming soon 😃

The next update to rayshader has completely overhauled water meshing to support multi-elevation water bodies and includes a new feature, render_streams(), that does exactly what it says it does 👍

New package on CRAN! {skymodelr} allows you to generate glorious high dynamic range skydomes in #RStats at any place and date/time! Realistic radiance, 0-15000m altitude, stars, planets, and of course, the moon: modeled with the correct phase and brightness! #rayverse

‼️New #rayrender on CRAN! v0.41.3 brings screenspace text and lines (so you can annotate in 3D independent of lighting and orientation) and a new “space heater” functionality 😋! That’s right: set `deferred_render = TRUE` and your render will never end—no more render countdown!
