uh, this was not supposed to happen

Slight progress, still too uneven, particles move too slowly to even out but too fast to converge, maybe I'll have to allow teleportation from dense areas to empty voids. #b3d #blender #retopology

How do I block politics ans AI hype from my feed please.

The algorithm stoppoed showing me politics for today but now its crypto bs. please algorithm have mercy.

its still a pile of garbage but the particle algorithm is slightly improving. So I'll keep it as it is, and just keep adding more rules on top and call it something like "dynamic topological garbage refinement" algorithm. #b3d #blender #retopology

I messed up my visualization shader. but the result kinda looks interesting.

More progresses the particle retopo algorithm, still an absolute mess but now its an absolute mess with a semblance of squares. #b3d #blender #retopology

My particle sim code is plagued with segfaults and I have no idea where it is coming from. Gonna delete everything and rewrite from scratch with arrays of indexes for more arrays instead of pointer spaghetti brb.

Still too many defects and glitches, but I think I got it, I probably have to flip a few minus sings around. #blender #retopology

I thought my pc was just slow, but it seems my code had a bug which caused the spatial hash to lookup 900 cells for each particle instead of just 8.

Now that I fixed the bug. 40 thousand particles running near real time, now I need to support anisotropic quads to fix the topological defects. #b3d #blender #retopology

I got dynamic quad scaling to work. more or less, it needs a bit of polishing. #b3d #lender #retopology

Fixed one of the issues, it still explodes into a chaotic ball of polygons sometimes, but the result is much better. #b3d #lender #retopology

Small hack. It seems manual scale and positioning is possible.

Still fails a lot, but I made up a few more rules that kinda make it look nice.
