With some additional intersection checks 🤪 ivy can now continue from one wall to another 😎 (thank you for giving me a primer on AABBs and segments and stuff @h3r2tic !)

Recently I've been practicing landscape painting, but tonight I spontaneously made a portrait. I was quite chuffed to discover that the techniques translate well 👩‍🎨

Making ivy work with arches was waaaay more straightforward. I simply discard the fragments (pixels) that overlap with the arch.

I feel that rendering is a lot like painting. You just need to... paint an illustration 60 times per second, and it has to work from different angles, and with different light directions 😅 And well, your brushes are code, but otherwise it's similar! Honest! 👀

[8/10] Being a huge fan of time lapses made by the Sims community, and the time lapse feature in Procreate, I felt that it would resonate with the vibe of my game ✨ Et voilà! I can now replay this small "Thank you" scene, hehe 😊

Keeping a visual journal, especially when you do lots of trial and error, is quite nice! It gives a sense of progress, and it's satisfying to go back and see where you started :D

I don't know about you, but I'll take a proper Summer break now: get some sun, maybe dip my feet in a lake, and just slow down for a bit😌 I'll be back in late August. Stay tuned by following the newsletter 💌 Have a wonderfully delightful Summer! 💚
