Spring Mood with Kling AI 2.0

I created an approach for caustic effects using the same shadow-map pass, without affecting the functionality of the current shadow map. Which seems to have a good performance. Example raw.githack.com/sunag/three.js… PR github.com/mrdoob/three.j… #webgpu #tsl #threejs

Why did only humans invent graphical systems like writing? 🧠✍️ In our new paper at CogSci Society, we explore how agents learn to communicate using a model of pictographic signification similar to human proto-writing. 🧵👇

I've ported my vrchat isosurface ray tracer to shadertoy and added it to my fluid simulation there. Its probably the fastest multibounce ray tracing for liquids I've made thus far. shadertoy.com/view/w3sXzs
