Tuco having some catnip in an energetic mood!

I got the order refunded easily enough... someone forgot to properly secure these paint cans before shipping.

Just some interesting lighting artifacts from the new global illumination system in Godot when I accidentally set up a light that goes negative.

It's the early access release of UE5, and I thought I'd see how well its dynamic global illumination copes with a video source as the only illumination in a room. There are plenty of artifacts but mostly they're not obtrusive, so this could be a fun way to do some compositing for live streams.

Video is silent, no narration or direction, I'm just fussing with it and recording video. The video cube gets stuck in the corner a lot, and I try piping the unreal editor video itself back into the cube at the end which is kinda trippy.

A rendering I made using Blender and After Effects, of the CAD model of the Tuco Flyer robot, for this video:

Parody edit.. not the whole episode, just as much as I had patience to do.

A simple algorithm that vaguely resembles protein folding, for building 2-dimensional shapes out of a string of bits.

Simulated annealing and copy mutations will gradually converge on a template shape.
