just realized the video doesn't actually show off the new chunk creation thing lol here's a quick demonstration that just fills the entire chunk with a white bg when drawn in
Vincent@vincentproject.bsky.social · 4w agobeen quietly doing a bit of technical work the past few days Vincent will no longer create and render canvas chunks that are already known to be completely invisible. instead, they're created on the fly as needed.

funny thing i just realized to use hex color codes, i just take the current text and pipe it directly into Godot's Color.from_string() method. while this does accept hex codes, i didn't realize it also accepts *named* colors. so doing something like this is considered completely valid input LOL
i decided to rearrange a bunch of things in this panel. kinda realized it felt really cramped, especially if you were using the minimum sidebar width. also dont need to switch modes to tweak the alpha channel anymore 🙌
Vincent@vincentproject.bsky.social · last mo.*very* work-in-progress sneak peek at the colors panel :)
man. as unfinished as this is, it's so satisfying seeing just how far Vincent has come. there's still a lot to do, but i'm incredibly proud of what i have already. :)
jackie's slow descent into misery perfectly documented by screen recordings
ohhh here's a fun thing i don't think i've shown off publicly yet this is some "concept art" of Vincent i made years ago when i was first dreaming up this project!
*very* work-in-progress sneak peek at the colors panel :)
sooo today i learned a few things: 1. SplitContainers finally have support for more than 2 child nodes 2. this was added in #Godot 4.6 3. there were *ZERO* mentions of this in the release notes. i'm suddenly incredibly glad that i put off the work for tool panels for as long as i did.
alright last update for tonight i threw together some really basic pencil and eraser tools :) #dev #godot #godotengine
i've just been informed that Vincent actually handles massive canvases and brush sizes better than clip studio paint LMAO??? HOW DID I PULL THAT OFF
splitting the canvas into chunks might just be the best thing i've done for this project by far. the performance difference is absolutely *staggering* #dev #godot #godotengine
*almost* got paintbrush back to working order again. main issue remaining is that it only works in one chunk per movement update, which results in these visible gaps.
some extra technical tidbits on canvas chunks for those interested: i'm currently using a chunk size of 256x256, which can be adjusted with relative ease :) i figured the optimal chunk size may vary between different hardware configurations, so i'll be adding it as an advanced option later.
Vincent@vincentproject.bsky.social · last mo.currently working on a canvas chunks system to provide significantly better drawing performance. i'm like 90% of the way there, i just need to get the paintbrush tool to correctly interpolate mouse inputs *between* chunks. otherwise you get these wild lines going absolutely everywhere lmao

Spent most of today grinding away at more core systems. Vincent now has (partially) working modular sidebar panels :] Not really much I can show off since it's largely underlying code stuff, but since it's not quite finished, that does mean the UI is *slightly* messed up atm.
i've found a partial fix for this TL;DR don't use full 32-bit color, it's extremely overkill LOL (🧵)
Vincent@vincentproject.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe only major performance issue remaining at this point is that there's a significant hold up after ending a brush stroke, at least on larger canvas sizes. I'm not yet sure what the exact cause is, but I think it's safe to say it has something to do with the data transfer from the GPU to the CPU.
Man, I wish I'd looked into the whole RenderingDevice thing sooner. The performance of this ABSOLUTELY blows the SubViewport method out of the water. #godot #godotengine #dev
have this weird effect i managed to create with a shader by complete accident
that's it that's the one. FINALLY my god i cannot believe how difficult it was to find this equation. this should've been like 3 minutes of googling, not *3+ hours*
Finally back in the saddle again after like... what, 2 months? 💀 Trying to ease myself back into development with something relatively simple (which I was also trying to work on before quietly going on hiatus): Localization support! #godot #godotengine #dev
ok so when was someone gonna tell me there actually is a way to preview translation strings in-editor and i had no reason to dread coming back to working on localization

Godot Engine@godotengine.org · 2mo ago#GodotEngine 4.7 is here! 🎉 Like a cult classic movie, Godot 4 has only gotten better with age; the 4.7 Director's Cut offers colors of never-before-reached intensity, helming a bevy of new features to eliminate any remaining friction between you and your vision! godotengine.org/releases/4.7/
today i got an email from some techbro scammer trying to sell me on an AI toolkit for vincent development lol
Zooming towards a point on the canvas is now working :) By default, it uses the center of the viewport, and when using scrollwheel zoom, it'll use the current pointer position. This needed a lot of really annoying math to get working properly LOL #godot #godotengine #dev
