10/10 player has shadow.
I am no longer in control of my life. Someone made a deep neural network image upscaler trained for anime/manga art. It is really damn amazing at giving good quality upscales. Some images actually look like they were drawn at that resolution. Hereās an example of what it can do (original image to the left, upscaled to the right): http://i.imgur.com/S6pIyyC.png Feel free to send me anime images and Iāll upscale them to 3840x2160 for you. =P
On a more serious note, Iāve been working on writing some new model converters. Iām considering releasing a small open source project that can convert skeleton animated 3D models to the internal format we use for NNgine (formerly Insomnia >_>).
That is pretty amazing. It looks like it also de-noises the images pretty well, and gives nice gradients throughout objects but keeps the outlines sharp.
I would send some images, but alas, I have none.
Yeah, it also does denoising, although that can be disabled. It handles JPEG artifact noise almost perfectly, although some slight color variations remain which can be seen around the birds in that comparison picture.
EDIT: Here are some more examples. SFW, but regardless your colleagues may question your productivity if youāre staring at anime girls instead of working.

Well, shit, Imgur ruined the quality by JPEG compressing my 8MB PNGs. -_-ā
By far my biggest pet peeve in games. When my player doesnāt have a shadow it definitely takes away from the immersion.

What I did last day and the night before that day:
Stayed awake the whole night to give consolation and watch over my suffering dog. In the morning we went to the vet to put her out of her misery. I stayed with her until the end, looking in her eyes.
The rest of that day I spend digging a grave in the garden where we ultimately buried her with her first (and favorite) plushie. Also held a simple funeral ceremony with just my family.
She is now in dogās heaven playing on the big green meadow together with her parents and her siblings. I will meet her there in the afterlife.
Rest in Peace Felica, you will be always in my heart.

Now Iām tired, sad and everything is hurting⦠have to take a nap now.

Hello JGO! Webcam in Swing window (yes I know, dull compared to https://youtu.be/DGKrCdGIOx4?t=1m10s)
Started working on physics for my game dev suite. Working on spatial partitioning.
Hereās my take on a quadtree:
Started building a Monte Carlo tree search to playtest and balance my combat system.
Just speedrunned all of codeacademyās html and css course in 2 hours and 30 minutes(it has an estimated 7 hour length), for some revision, i surprisingly was reminded of a lot of new things.
I expanded my knowledge in electronics a LOT (I finally understand transistors. Yay!). And my girlfriend broke up with me due to my mistakes, so I was (and still am) quite depressed. It may seem like seeking for attention, so Iām not going to expand on that. But I want to say; @Opiop, I know how you feel. My pain may not be as severe as yours, but I had a ālittleā glimpse of it, even though Iām probably much younger than you (I say āprobablyā because I donāt know your age, but I highly doubt youāre a teen like me).
I finally understand transistors. And my girlfriend broke up with me due to my mistakes.
Oh, those transistors - they ruined so many lives ^^
My break up was extremely taxing because Iām already a very emotional person, I absolutely hate being alone because of situations I was in when I was growing up, and because her and I had an intense relationship for 2 years. I have no doubt in my mind we both actually loved each other (no, not like āteenageā love), but one thing Iāve forced myself to realize over these last two weeks is that some things are not final, and some things arenāt meant to be. Who knows, maybe sheāll come back into my life someday. We did have an amazing friendship that I hope will survive the situation we are in right now. On the flip side, we might have served our purpose in each otherās lives; I helped her re-discover happiness and she gave me the peace I finally needed after I managed to leave my abusive home. Maybe thatās all the universe had in store for us, who really knows?
I wonāt comment on your āpainā because I donāt know your relationship, or where you are in your life. But I will tell you that these things happen, and itās better to pick yourself up after you give yourself a chance to mourn, and better yourself. Believe me, these last few weeks have been hell for me. I go from hating what she did to me, to flat-out crying and wanting her back, to ignoring the fact that she even exists. That was my time to mourn the loss of my best friend, and now I have to continue on with my life and understand what went wrong/right in our time together. I cherish our beautiful memories, and I study the dark parts of our relationship so that I know what I can do to improve myself so these things donāt happen again.
I still miss her, and you will most likely miss your girlfriend. I can promise you that your life will go on though, and you will find someone who loves you for exactly who you are. Life is an amazing thing, go out and experience everything you possibly can and figure out exactly who you are. Itās cheesy and cliche, but you have to love yourself before you can fully love anyone else. Thatās one mistake that brought down my last relationship, and I will be sure to figure out how to appreciate who I am so I can avoid that same mistake.
Well, that was a rant Sorry for these non-programming related posts, I just find it really nice to write these things out and hope that other people read them. It makes me feel better and I really hope someone else gets some use out of them.
