a 3D flythrough of Crazy Taxi's Pizza Hut model, serenely floating in the void
Ghidra readout of the Crazy Taxi Android port's debug symbols with functions like LetsPlayTennis() and HesLate()
a scene of Warsong Gulch with an early implementation of the particle system. instead of proper particles, i'm rendering screenspace dots which are roughly colored correctly as specified by their particle emitters. eventually, these particles are depicted in-game as "billboarded" textures, so-called because they're always drawn facing the camera
an early scene showing the Dark Portal in Outland. much is incorrect about this scene: the skybox is wrong, the world lighting is wrong, the green portal texture has a weird oval that shouldn't be there, and none of the particles are implemented (the braziers and statue eyes are empty)
a scene from the Deeprun Tram showing the doorway to Stormwind. pink debug lines illustrate where the WMO's triangles are, with pink text denoting their position in 3D space. this was from a debug tool i wrote to visualize how Blizzard partitioned their levels into smaller chunks, allowing for efficient culling of level geometry that's not visible to the camera
a scene from Warsong Gulch, where a bird is majestically soaring over the Horde base. but as the camera pans around, it becomes clear that while the bird is fine, literally every other model in the scene is upside down
a scene from Arathi Basin where schools of fish are swimming in the water near some bobbing barrels. but something is terribly, terribly wrong with the fish -- their 3D mesh points are rapidly flying around the screen due to an incorrect interpretation of their animation's transformation matrix
a screenshot of terrain from the desert region of Tanaris, but the terrain color looks totally wrong. while some patches look ok, large portions are black & white, and there are abrupt seams where the color changes. this happened because terrains have up to 4 separate textures, which are combined differently depending on certain flags on the terrain. the problem here was i was rendering the textures as-is, rather than combining them per the flag's instructions.
an early screenshot of the WoW viewer, showing the mountains of Dun Morogh and exterior of Ironforge nestled within them. again, game lighting isn't implemented yet, so the scene looks unnaturally bright and flat
An early screenshot of the WoW viewer showing the entirety of Blackrock Depths, zoomed out to a sort of "dollhouse" view. There's no game lighting, so the level looks unnaturally bright and flat
an early screenshot from the WoW viewer, showing a greyscale model of the terrain around the desert area Tanaris. rolling dunes give way to a steep mountain range, after which the terrain is completely flat, as the player is never meant to reach that part of the map
an early screenshot from the WoW viewer showing a 3D model of an Arathi farmhouse. the model is tilted 90 degrees counterclockwise
an early screenshot of the WoW viewer, showing the texture for the Threshadon corpse in Darkshore. the image is distorted and details are arranged oddly, but this is typical for game textures since their 3D meshes specify how the image is mapped to the 3D object
A flythrough of the World of Warcraft raid Ulduar, captured using noclip's built-in studio mode
A video flythrough of the dwarven city of Ironforge in World of Warcraft, , captured using noclip's built-in studio mode
A scene from the video game World of Warcraft of the gates of Ironforge, a dwarven city embedded in the mountains
my worm post got liked by wormwife
a large collection of rhombuses that initially form a cube, but after some rotations, form a smaller cube inset a bit
a dark planet passes over a starfield
the 42 lines of code being slowly drawn into an invisible black hole in the center of the screen
a gelatinous blob of neon layers whose shapes and widths keep undulating
horizontal and vertical lines whose lengths are proportional to various periodic functions, overlapping in ways that form various parts of a grid
