Procedural Generation

The idea: ShaderGraph is a tool to create node base shaders in Unity. We have too many nodes to mix and create amazing shaders (just like Substance designer) or even make our own custom nodes to implement new functionalities. What if we use these awesome resource of nodes to bake textures? Pros: …

Last month I started building a side project. You can view the end result at https://textmmo.com or check out the code, it’s all open source. Requirements I’m a big fan of text based games like Zork, Slash'em, and Dwarf Fortress. I took inspiration from these games and wanted mine to be: …

A year ago, I was exploring the idea of generative cover art design, inspired by Antireal stuff and wanted to try to make something with his aesthetics, but in a more procedural way. I’ve made all the shapes and assembled this system using particles in After Effects, like it…

Around the time of Metropolis Graphics, I did some contract development for a Montreal company developing a GIS (geographic information system) application. What made the job interesting was that we developed the software on OpenStep, the Intel port of NextStep. Years ago I had read Brad Cox’s book on Objective-C…

Hello, in this post I’ll walk you through my implementation of the last homework of the semester. Specification of this homework is that we need to create a procedural terrain with Perlin Noise using geometry shaders in OpenGL. …

Hello to all Computer Graphics enthusiasts. Once again this blog post is aimed at explaining my experience and technical backgrounds of certain stages in the implementation of my third and last homework for the course Ceng469 Computer Graphics II at Middle East Technical University. Geometry Shaders Briefly, in this project we are…

Geometry Nodes is intuitive to use once you get into it, but getting started can be difficult. Here’s 3 quick tips to help you out. Tip 1: Learn how to make a simple scattering system. Instancing copies of an object across the surface of another object is one of the easiest and most useful applications for Geometry Nodes. …

Geometry nodes — Modifying the geometry of an object with node-based operations. Since I am not going to explain basic steps, this series is for intermediate or advanced users of Blender who are familiar with Geometry nodes but haven’t used it extensively. Disclaimer — Heavily inspired by Blender Manual. I…
