I ran out of ram like 3 times today on my computer, I'd save up to get more ram, but a. I already have 32 and b. Ram prices are stupid, so no.

I've been porting my cool water shader effect for use as a Poiyomi Toon Shader module, No more material stacking and mesh setup required! I've been starting to learn raw shader code to pull this off, and really this opens a lot of doors. No bubbles yet, but i'll see about porting that next.

Resonite modding is simple, you just make a new eyes and get rid of the mouth.

So after messing around for about 12 hours today looking for a thing to do pupil dilation on the frame before the babble stuff comes out, I found a thing: github.com/sasaken1102r... This really isn't a proper implementation in Resonite but it kind of works for now.

Uhh, I tried getting eyetrackvr to work with the frame and... Yeah I think i'll stick with the official eye tracking implementation for now.

I just used the steam frame for pretty much a whole day straight. First impressions: - The lightest headset I've ever tried - FOV is massive - Screens are a little behind the quest pro with colors (to be expected, but that's okay) - I can't wear glasses in it (lenses are super close to eyes)

I'm off to home after a while in Tennessee, I had a really good time with friends and stuff! Im just waiting for my flights now, I'll be back home soon.

I was there

75 Large Pizzas at the IRL @resonite.com Meetup - I was pinged with this by a friend in the Resonite community specifically to ogle the utterly gargantuan amount of food they ordered (I've played Resonite for years, it's a VR sandbox/social platform that I recommend trying out!!) 150,000 calories

Are you kidding me, I'm on vacation! My frame is coming tomorrow. I dont know if this is the best luck or the worst lol.

Well, I got lucky!

Yeah the Resonite devs really need a steam frame.

We are excited to see the Steam Frame release! Unfortunately, our engineering team did not receive a dev kit, so our Steam Frame support will be limited until we get hands on. We will work on it as soon as we're able to!

So, I'm going to be going on vacation for a bit, just to let people know.

I made a mod for @resonite.com that makes full body tracker calibration much easier. github.com/ModernBalloo...

Collections exist in @resonite.com now, and... Well, I just had to do this.

Balloon chipori talons, but they somehow got bigger.

I hate that I'm mandating VRCFury use with an avatar modification pack I'm going to release soon, but I have no choice. Since VRChat doesn't support native face tracking, most of the parameter list is taken up by that alone, and the features I wanted to add to it, it's become impossible to do-

I had to do some crazy stuff to get the physics on this piece of clothing to act right with the inflation stuff, I'm honestly really proud of this. Balloon chipori almost done! For real this time.

Honestly there's something that's been bothering me, I love Resonite but there are some issues, particularly with their dynamic bone implementation that I've been finding harder and harder to work around. Mostly not being able to animate them properly because they reset and look stiff.

I have been making this water shader work way better, it's way more responsive plus, I added some sounds from @runeyco.bsky.social and it goes along with the effect quite well! I worked on this for 6 hours yesterday, but i'm definitely including this with the balloon chipori.

How my day went when working on the balloon chipori today.

I guess I'm in an official resonite post now.

I've been making a cool detailed squeak rubbing sound system for the balloonie chipori, Really this is based off of a thing I made a while back, but now it's better! Sounds were made by SangriaSnake.

I just went to the dentist and came back home, had a tooth filling with anaesthetic and I immediately wanted to see if my face tracking would pick up my lopsided face, It did and it's really funny.
