Paper mesh deformation with pure 2D canvas API. The sheet is built as a grid of points, not as one flat image. Each point keeps its base position, current position, previous position, and a small fake depth value. When I drag one area, the code pulls the nearest point... and spreads that force through the grid, so the paper bends instead of just skewing like a card. The structure is held together with constraints between points. Horizontal, vertical, diagonal, and longer links all try to stay close to their original length. That is what gives it paper-like resistance. It can flex, but it does not stretch too far or collapse too much. The solver runs many times per frame, which keeps the shape stable while dragging. The fold detail is driven by texture data. One image is the visible paper surface. Another image is sampled as a fold map: dark values become stronger fold areas, and image gradients give fold direction. That data feeds back into the mesh, so some parts lift more, crease more, and react with more stiffness than others. The rendering is still just 2D canvas. Each cell in the grid is split into triangles, and every triangle is drawn with its own transform so the texture stays locked to the surface while it deforms. Then a shading pass adds highlights and shadows from the fake depth and crease values. No WebGL, no shaders. Just mesh math, texture sampling.show more

That’s seriously clean — building a full constraint-based mesh with just 2D canvas is impressive. Love how you’re combining physics (constraints + solver) with texture-driven behavior. The fold map driving stiffness and depth is a really smart touch. Feels like one of those projects where the “no WebGL” part makes it even more interesting.

A neural network can begin as a flat sheet and learn the shape of hidden data A self-organizing map turns learning into geometry. Each data point pulls one winning neuron toward it, but nearby neurons move too, and so the whole lattice bends without losing its neighborhood structure. The strange part is that the network is not given the roll shape. It discovers the shape through competition and local cooperation.

We often hear that Machine Learning models learn patterns in data. But what does that look like in geometry? Picture dropping an elastic mesh into a cloud of points and letting it adapt. How would it bend, stretch, and settle so it matches the shape hiding in the data? In this scene we watch a self-organizing map(SOM)...a classic unsupervised neural model...learn a 2D dataset arranged like a spiral arm. Over the points we place a square grid of neurons whose weights live in the same plane. At the start it’s just a flat net drifting across the cloud. No clue what the structure is. Fir the SOM, learning is a repeated game: Pick a random data point, find the neuron whose weight is closest, then nudge that neuron and its neighbours toward the point. Repeat, repeat, repeat...while gradually shrinking how wide the neighbourhood influence spreads. The result is satisfying...the grid stops being a grid and turns into a coordinate sheet wrapped onto the spiral. #MachineLearning #ManifoldLearning #UnsupervisedLearning #NeuralMaps #GeometricML #SelfOrganizingMap #Topology

How about one image straight to an editable UE5 or Blender scene? Lumera just dropped paper - Engine-Native Editable 3D World Reconstruction with Objects & Lighting. You give it an image. It figures out what's in the scene, rebuilds every object as a separate mesh, then recreates the lighting as actual engine lights you can move and tweak. Even pulls an HDR environment out of the shot. The lighting part is the big deal here. Every other image-to-3D approach bakes it in. Lumera keeps it a parameter, like the scene was built in the engine from the start. Code and weights marked as "Soon". Paper -

We often hear that machine learning models "learn patterns in data". But what does that actually look like in geometry? If you dropped a little elastic mesh into a cloud of points and let it learn, how would it fold itself to match the shape of the data? In this scene we watch a self-organizing map...a simple unsupervised neural model...learn the shape of a two-dimensional dataset arranged in a spiral arm. On top of this, we lay down a square grid of neurons whose weights live in the same plane. At the start, this grid is just a flat net floating across the cloud...it knows nothing about the structure underneath. Learning is a repeated game: pick a random data point, find the neuron whose weight is closest, and then nudge that neuron and its neighbours toward the point. Do this again and again, while slowly shrinking how far the neighbourhood influence spreads. #MachineLearning #ManifoldLearning #UnsupervisedLearning #NeuralMaps #GeometricML

iPhone Duo just made 5 years of Samsung crease excuses look like a joke Samsung fans spent half a decade saying "you stop noticing the crease after a week." Galaxy Fold 1 had it. Fold 2 had it. Fold 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Eight generations and you can still see the crease in any lighting from any angle Apple showed up with generation one and the crease is invisible. Not reduced. Not minimized. Invisible. Different angles, different lighting, it does not matter. The matte nano-texture display eliminates it completely Samsung had 8 attempts and $4 billion in foldable R&D. Apple needed one. The same company that told you creases were "normal in foldable technology" just got exposed for accepting a problem they could not solve This is not about the phone anymore. This is about Samsung selling you a compromise for $1,799 every year and calling it premium while the actual solution existed and they just could not figure it out Every new hands-on is confirming the crease is gone. I am collecting every angle comparison between Duo and Fold 8 side by side as they come in. Follow if you want to see what Samsung does not want next to their phone

Now that I am home and have access to my files I decided to do a quick test with one of my Vtubing avatars. It works way better with my larger iPad Pro (less crashing/more memory and more screen space) compared to the mini so I did want to bring that up. Importing the file over as GLB was more stable than just OBJ plus it kept the color info from the previous texture. I texture all my avatars on substance painter but have been looking at an alternative when I am out and about that is not on the computer and this actually hits all the right "wants". Adding a quick video of the way the app works for me. I like that it has layers, I can alter my brushes and even add stabilization when I am drawing (which I use that extensively on procreate so that was a huge plus). The stamp tools will come in handy as well but did not show it on this video. The file itself is imported as "one mesh" but each part is treated as their own separate piece which I show in the video. I do the same thing on substance painter making it really easy for me to texture. The app then exports the texture out for each object which is the same way I do so on substance. Overall I am extremely impressed with the work Sparseal has done on this application and see how useful this will be for my current work flow of texturing. I for one love the ability to be "portable" which is a big reason I sculpt so much with Nomad Sculpt on the iPad. Having the freedom to do your work away from a desk and if you feel like doing it outside is probable why I yearn for iPad apps so much like so. Give this app a look, it is free to try on the App Store (It is $19 to be able to export, but a one time buy). It is called "Wafer" for the iPad. I already use CozyBlanket from the same creator to do re topology so I expected this level of fantastic with this current app.

Everything far away in a game engine can feel small, flat, and washed out. That is correct perspective, but it can make for some poor scenery sometimes. Two features I've added to my engine try to fight against that: Spatial Recession magnifies the distance. After a vertex is projected I push its screen position outward from center. Near geometry is untouched. It only moves x and y, never depth, so nothing sorts differently and nothing z-fights. The result is a long lens bolted onto the far half of a wide one: the tower and the ridgeline loom instead of receding, while I keep the wide field of view I actually play in (FOV is identical in both of these examples). Dimensional Falloff is four distance ramps on the surface itself. Lighting contrast flattens so distant hills stop having a hard lit side and a hard dark side, which is what haze does in real life. Color then desaturates toward its own brightness to fake more distance. Then that desaturated color is pushed, and that is the one doing most of the visible work here. Last is texture detail, with a custom MIP value based on distances. All of it keys off real radial distance from the camera rather than depth This is so it stays put when you turn your head. Performance cost is next to nothing. The recession is two lines in the vertex shader. The falloff is a few lerps at the end of the pixel shader, which was already computing that distance for the mip bias anyway. Quite happy with the results, what do you think? #gamedev

Fable 5 is back. So I gave it one of my favorite frontend tests: one prompt + one reference image. The task: rebuild a 3D globe dashboard.🌎 The result was almost too good. It did not just make a working page. The texture, lighting, spacing, depth, glass panels, and overall layout were all close to the reference. Some parts felt nearly pixel-level.

Chinese researchers just published a paper with a brutal title: "The End of Software Engineering." their argument: writing code is finished as a skill a human brain holds only so much state and so many dependencies before it stalls an agent has no such ceiling, and its capacity climbs with compute so the person stops being the one typing the code you turn into the intent architect - you direct the agents and audit what comes back code turns disposable, judgment turns into the job that's why i wrote the guide below on building your own agent system from scratch the paper it's based on is down there too

A fun way to try the new Claude Fable. I asked it to train a bot using RL to navigate 3D worlds created with SpAItial AI. This is all running in the browser including RL training! Link to demo and code in comments What you can do: -> Train a bot from scratch, watch it learn in minutes, then drop it into a world it has never seen and it keeps navigating obstacles. -> The worlds are real scenes generated from a text prompt or a photo via the SpAItial AI API (you get a splat + a collision mesh). -> Mesh is made into a 2D walkability + height grid that the RL environment runs on. -> The trick to generalization: the policy only ever sees egocentric inputs. A 16-ray lidar, the goal's body frame, and its speed. No global coordinates, no map. So it learns navigation, not a memorized world.

Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 built the same scroll-animated website from 1 skill in 32 minutes and only 1 of them made it feel like a film. Same prompt: boutique Japan travel brand, origami style. A subway pulls in, a paper house unfolds into a hotel, a bird takes flight as you scroll. Doing this by hand is brutal multiple videos, matched starting frames, frames ripped out 1 by 1 and synced to scroll position. The skill does all of it: Generate 1 anchor image and approve it every scene inherits the style Turn it into video through the Higgs Field MCP (Seedance), straight from the terminal FFmpeg pulls every frame Each frame maps to scroll position, so your scrollbar becomes the playhead Setup is just connecting the MCP and loading the skill works in Claude Code and Codex. It interviews you first about scenes, budget and mobile, then shows the anchor image before burning a single credit on video. Budget reality: 6 scenes runs ~800 credits and is overkill, 4 scenes is the sweet spot, crop-safe mobile is the cheap path. The verdict came down to transitions. GPT-5.6 Soul built strong scenes with incredible detail inside each one then hard cuts between scene 1 and 2, and again between 2 and 3. Fable 5 stitched them together: wires push out of the top of frame while the next scene blurs in behind, gains depth and locks into place. Same skill, same prompts, 10 generations each. Credit to Peter Wang for the original Scroll World skill open source, now forked with budget tiers and mobile fixes. Soul built 4 scenes. Fable built 1 film.

This is much worse for 3D artists than another AI image generator. Claude takes one architectural reference, connects directly to Blender, and starts rebuilding it as an actual editable scene. It blocks out the buildings, matches the camera, adds materials, vegetation, lighting, and then renders the result. The interesting part is not the first generation. Claude inspects its own render, notices the composition and lighting are wrong, then goes back into Blender and keeps changing the scene. The final result is still rough. The materials look basic, the geometry needs cleanup, and an experienced artist would make it far better. But AI is no longer producing a flat image and pretending it understands 3D. It is operating the software, judging its own work, and iterating inside the real project. The “AI cannot do their actual work” argument is getting harder to defend.

ComfyUI Tutorial for Beginners: Text-to-Image & Image-to-Image Workflows One graph, two workflows and Module 2 is where you build it node by node instead of loading someone else's. We start from a blank canvas and wire every connection, then change a single value and turn the same graph into image-to-image. What you'll learn: → The 5 core nodes, connected one at a time — checkpoint, CLIP encode, KSampler, empty latent, VAE decode → Why the data flows the way it does, not just where the wires go → Every KSampler setting: seed, steps, CFG, sampler, scheduler → Denoise from 0.9 to 0.0 — the one value that decides how much of your source survives → Locking seeds and generating takes instead of chasing one perfect image → Preview vs. save, and why every image carries the graph that made it → Reopen any result in your asset library as a live workflow → The 6 errors that break Comfy most often → How to read a red node like a sentence Click the links below to run the workflow ⬇️

Most AI tools today are just command-takers. You type, it responds. You click, it executes. There's truly no learning, no memory, no adaptation. You're still doing most of the work. Which is why Miles by Avo on Solana would make so much sense if built well. From what I understand so far, miles learns about you over time, adapts to how you operate, and figures out the tools you struggle to navigate on your own. Less clicking, more conversation, the more you use it, the better it gets at working with you, not just for you. That shift from command-follower to learning companion is bigger than it sounds. It's the difference between a tool and an agent that actually knows you. The second one is Agent Grid and this one is for builders and power users. But as I mentioned in this video, I'm still studying the Agent Grid. I'd come talk about it once I learn properly about it. Souren just keeps shipping!

"Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey" map of Greece on a single 32,768 x 32,768 texture in the Browser. Virtual Texture tech in WebGL 2.0 The source is a 804 Mb PNG. Without Virtual Texture tech you'd need to download that and wait for a few seconds for your browser to decode it before you could use it. Your browser would then crash when it tries to upload it to the GPU :) If we imagine that the upload to the GPU would succeed - it would take 4Gb of VRAM. Virtual Texture loads immediately, because the image is split into small fixed-sized tiles with full LoD chain (mips) and uses 2048x2048, which is just 16 Mb of VRAM. Article:

Bilbo Baggins: When a Life Is Stretched to Its Limit There is a line spoken by Bilbo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings that has stayed with me: “I’m old, Gandalf. I know I don’t look it, but I’m beginning to feel it in my heart. I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter that has been scraped over too much bread.” At first, this might sound like nothing more than the complaint of someone who has lived too long. But what caught my attention was not that Bilbo says he is old. It is the way he describes that feeling: “I feel thin.” He does not say that he is in pain. He says that he is being stretched. And from there, I began to see this line as an image of a being carrying a burden greater than the scope of an ordinary life. This is my personal interpretation. Tolkien does not directly present a concept of “capacity” or “the elasticity of a life” in the way I am using those ideas here. I am simply taking Bilbo’s own image of “butter and bread” and using it to look more deeply into the feeling he is describing. Too Much Bread and Too Little Butter If I had to imagine that feeling through another image, I would think of a balloon. When it is in its natural state, it has a certain shape. As the pressure increases, it begins to stretch. It has not burst. But it is no longer in its original state. And I think Bilbo is much the same. He has possessed the Ring for sixty years. Yet what is remarkable is that, after all that time, Bilbo is still Bilbo. He still loves the Shire, loves Bag End, cares about Frodo, writes books, smokes, and talks with Gandalf. The Ring has affected him, but it has not completely taken over who he is. That is why I do not think Bilbo’s endurance should simply be understood as: “He was so strong that the Ring could not affect him.” Quite the opposite. The words “I feel thin, sort of stretched...” show that he has already begun to feel that pressure from within. And this is where the image of “butter and bread” becomes especially interesting. The piece of bread does not necessarily have to be understood as the Ring itself. In the way I see it, it is something broader. It is the entire scope of what Bilbo is carrying: the passing years, his unusual existence, the pressure of the Ring, and everything that comes with it. The butter, meanwhile, is Bilbo himself. A finite being with finite capacity. A little butter is enough for a reasonably sized piece of bread. But when it has to be spread across a piece of bread that is too large, it has to become thinner. And that is what I feel in Bilbo. It is not that he suddenly becomes weak. It is that the same being is having to stretch itself to accommodate a burden that has grown beyond the boundaries of an ordinary life. “Stretched” Does Not Mean Destroyed This is the part I find most important. Bilbo is still alive. He is still himself. He still has things he loves and still has the ability to experience the world around him. But something has appeared within him that perhaps was not there before: He feels that he is being stretched too thin. So, being “stretched” does not mean that Bilbo has been destroyed. It shows that he is still enduring, but that his endurance has begun to leave a mark. Being able to endure does not mean being unaffected. A person can endure something for a very long time and still become tired. Someone can continue living almost normally while inwardly feeling that they are being stretched too thin. Bilbo is in precisely that state. And perhaps that is why his next words feel so natural: “I need a holiday, a very long holiday...” I like the way Bilbo says this. He does not try to prove that he can endure more. He simply realizes that he needs to leave. To me, this is a remarkable form of awareness. Bilbo does not wait until he has completely lost himself before recognizing the problem. He realizes that he is being stretched. And from that realization, he wants to step away from the circumstances creating that pressure. Recognizing Your Limit Is Also a Form of Strength If we continue with the image of the balloon, Bilbo has enough elasticity to withstand that pressure for decades. But that elasticity is not infinite. The more it is stretched, the farther it moves from its original state. And what catches my attention most is that Bilbo is still aware enough to recognize this. From this perspective, I see Bilbo’s decision to leave in a different way. He does not leave because he has failed. He leaves because he has recognized his limit. To me, this is much more meaningful than simply saying that Bilbo is “strong” because he was able to possess the Ring for so long. A being can be remarkably resilient and still have limits. And being able to recognize those limits is not weakness. It is awareness. Bilbo does not say: “I can endure more.” He says, in a very different way: “I need a holiday.” Perhaps that simplicity is exactly what makes the line so thought-provoking. He does not need to prove how strong he is. He only needs to be honest about what he is feeling. Why Is the Image of the “Butter” So Sad? That is also why I find Bilbo’s image of the butter so sad. Bilbo is still there. He has not disappeared. He has not been destroyed. But he feels as though he has been spread too thin. The image does not describe a moment of collapse. It describes a process. The burden creates pressure. The pressure forces Bilbo to adapt. That prolonged adaptation makes him feel increasingly stretched. And eventually, he realizes that he cannot continue that way forever. That is what makes the words “I feel thin” so important. “Thin” is not a declaration of weakness. It is a sign that a being has been pulled away from its natural state for too long. And recognizing that opens a choice for Bilbo: To leave. It makes me see Bilbo differently: “Bilbo is not a being that cannot be stretched; he is a being that has endured pressure for a very long time, yet remained aware enough to recognize that his capacity to stretch is not infinite.” And perhaps that is what I like most about this line. Strength is not always about enduring more. Sometimes, strength is knowing that you have endured enough.

Bilbo Baggins: When a Life Is Stretched to Its Limit There is a line spoken by Bilbo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings that has stayed with me: “I’m old, Gandalf. I know I don’t look it, but I’m beginning to feel it in my heart. I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter that has been scraped over too much bread.” At first, this might sound like nothing more than the complaint of someone who has lived too long. But what caught my attention was not that Bilbo says he is old. It is the way he describes that feeling: “I feel thin.” He does not say that he is in pain. He says that he is being stretched. And from there, I began to see this line as an image of a being carrying a burden greater than the scope of an ordinary life. This is my personal interpretation. Tolkien does not directly present a concept of “capacity” or “the elasticity of a life” in the way I am using those ideas here. I am simply taking Bilbo’s own image of “butter and bread” and using it to look more deeply into the feeling he is describing. Too Much Bread and Too Little Butter If I had to imagine that feeling through another image, I would think of a balloon. When it is in its natural state, it has a certain shape. As the pressure increases, it begins to stretch. It has not burst. But it is no longer in its original state. And I think Bilbo is much the same. He has possessed the Ring for sixty years. Yet what is remarkable is that, after all that time, Bilbo is still Bilbo. He still loves the Shire, loves Bag End, cares about Frodo, writes books, smokes, and talks with Gandalf. The Ring has affected him, but it has not completely taken over who he is. That is why I do not think Bilbo’s endurance should simply be understood as: “He was so strong that the Ring could not affect him.” Quite the opposite.

Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe tells Joe Rogan that Trump coining the term “fake news” was one of the worst things that could have happened. Because now the left just dismisses it as another “Trump talking point” even when so much of the news is objectively fake. HINCHCLIFFE: “I feel like so many people feel like they’re doing the right thing, watching the news and being informed.” “And they hear that the news is fake and they think that’s just like a Trump talking point.” “I’ve always said that Trump calling it fake news was one of the worst things that could happen because then it sounds like a Trump thing.” “And the Trump enemies go, oh, fake news. Sure it’s fake! If he’s saying it then it can’t be fake because we have to disagree with him.” “Meanwhile, it’s a f*cking...it’s a Goddamn production.” ROGAN: “It is fake! They’re right, it’s fake.” “A lot of the news is fake. It’s not true.”

Gpt image 2 + Seedance 2.5 on Higgsfield Prompt: 30-SECOND CINEMATIC SHORT Create a 30-second cinematic sequence with the visual discipline of a major feature film. The world is entirely made from paper, cardboard, ink, and delicate handcrafted materials. 00:00–00:05 — THE FIRST FOLD Begin with an extreme macro shot of a blank sheet of textured paper. A single fold slowly forms across its surface. Lens: 100mm macro Camera: Completely static Soft daylight moves across the paper as the fold continues. Cut precisely as the paper reaches its final shape. 00:05–00:11 — THE CITY EMERGES Transition into a 50mm shot. The folded paper begins forming miniature streets and architectural structures. Buildings rise naturally from the surface through carefully constructed paper folds. The camera slowly tracks sideways. Tiny windows catch the light. Nothing feels computer-generated; every surface should have believable paper fibers, folds, shadows, and imperfections. 00:11–00:17 — THE REVEAL Move into a 35mm shot. The camera pulls backward. The small arrangement is revealed as an enormous handcrafted paper city stretching across a large table. Roads connect different districts. Bridges cross miniature rivers. Paper trees move gently from an unseen breeze. 00:17–00:23 — MORNING Transition into a slow overhead crane shot. Warm sunlight gradually spreads across the paper city. Shadows from the buildings become longer and more defined. Tiny paper windows begin reflecting the sunlight. The camera continues rising, revealing the geometric relationship between the streets and buildings. 00:23–00:27 — THE DETAIL Cut to an 85mm close-up. Focus on a tiny paper clock mounted on one building. The clock moves forward by one minute. Rack focus from the clock to the miniature skyline behind it. 00:27–00:30 — FINAL IMAGE Return to an extreme wide shot. The entire paper city sits beneath a large studio window. The morning light completely fills the miniature world. Camera slowly pulls backward until the city becomes a small object within the larger room. Fade to black. CINEMATOGRAPHY Large-format feature-film aesthetic. 100mm macro for texture. 85mm for detail. 50mm for natural perspective. 35mm for environmental shots. Controlled dolly and crane movements. Realistic depth of field. Natural focus transitions. Soft motion blur. Subtle lens imperfections. No artificial camera shake. MATERIAL DIRECTION Every surface must visibly behave like physical paper. Visible paper fibers. Natural folds. Tiny imperfections. Soft cardboard edges. Realistic contact shadows. Believable paper thickness. Natural material deformation. LIGHTING Soft morning daylight. Large window as the primary source. Natural bounce light. Gentle shadows. Subtle warm highlights. No artificial neon effects. No excessive visual effects. CONTINUITY The same paper city throughout the entire sequence. Buildings maintain identical shapes and positions. Roads remain connected. Paper materials remain consistent. No random transformations. No flickering. No duplicated structures. No sudden environmental changes. DIRECTOR’S NOTE Treat this as a miniature feature film, not a visual-effects demonstration. The camera should discover the world gradually. Start intimate. Reveal scale. Return to detail. Finish wide. The audience should feel that they are watching a real handcrafted world photographed with a cinema camera. Photorealistic 4K • tactile materials • feature-film cinematography • sophisticated lighting • realistic miniature photography • cinematic depth • precise camera movement • seamless visual continuity.
