I can't seem to escape the cycle of creative binge and then burnout. I live in fear of the burnout phase, but I can't seem to stop myself from obsessively working when I'm not in one. I have ADHD and am strongly suspicious of autism. Anyone out there have advice for me?

I fucking love ao

I keep meaning to show you guys how my water simulation shader is actually turning out but I just keep tweaking it instead.

Breh how do I post a gif without it looking horrible

Been experimenting with heightfield-based water surface simulation, dissatisfied with the usual "ripples on a puddle" look that such simulations usually have

A lot of the time I write/modify equations based on vibes. I'll end up with a solution and not know exactly why it works until I prove it to myself later. Is this a self-taught thing, or do formally educated nerds also do it this way?

The main non-negotiable features were good looking erosion, very long render distances, and generation that can keep up with very fast player movement. Plus I reeeally wanted nice rocky cliffs. It's still early but things are going really well in meeting those goals!

It's interesting to see it render motion blur on things that normally wouldn't get them like the flame particles here. If it appears to move, it'll get motion blur! Some rough edges, but it all looks pretty good in motion.
