@t3kt.bsky.socialThere was a time when Polyhedral Orbs weren't accepted in the broader Orb community by those who insisted that smooth curves were the only "valid" way to be an Orb. Thankfully society has moved past such bigotry.
Humans need to be more like Orbs (the acceptance part not the roundness).
@t3kt.bsky.socialOrb Time: the time in which we contemplate orbs and orb-related topics (roundness, hovering strategies, ominous noises, etc).
While I am not a member of the Orb community I try to be a supportive ally.
@t3kt.bsky.socialThis was one of my first experiments with raymarching, a few months before I started work on RayTK. Little did I know it would become the basis of most of my work for at least the next six years.
I'm excited to enter the next phase with Aurion (coming soon).
@t3kt.bsky.socialSometimes you just need to flip things inside out and see what happens.
Note: do not attempt this with organic life forms.
@t3kt.bsky.socialThis shape has been practicing this dance and wanted to show off her progress. It's taken a lot of intense physical conditioning to be able to move so smoothly. Personally I doubt I'd be able to do it.
@t3kt.bsky.socialGetting back to my liquid metal roots with RayTK. They don't work well as roots though. Very little water gets transported into me through them. And they're pretty bad at anchoring me to the ground.
