[3015.02 --> 3016.60] Plus, it's, like, happening so fast. |
[3016.74 --> 3018.58] Like, people are making cool stuff with this. |
[3018.58 --> 3030.92] And I find that the people that are actively developing interactive things for, like, WebGL-based art are not, like, software engineers for their day jobs. |
[3031.02 --> 3037.56] They're just, like, multi-faceted technologists and artists that were like, oh, this is cool. |
[3037.82 --> 3039.54] I want to make cool stuff for this. |
[3039.68 --> 3040.98] And that's really awesome. |
[3040.98 --> 3044.88] I haven't done a ton of WebGL stuff. |
[3045.70 --> 3049.58] A little bit for some of the Stripe splash page stuff. |
[3049.76 --> 3053.84] But I have met Mr. Doob, which I feel like is pretty much the same thing. |
[3054.34 --> 3054.74] Okay. |
[3054.96 --> 3055.72] There you go. |
[3057.74 --> 3061.76] I tried to use 3JS and I really couldn't get my head into it. |
[3061.76 --> 3066.80] But it's just one of those libraries that's just so massive that, yeah, I just... |
[3066.80 --> 3067.44] I really couldn't... |
[3067.44 --> 3070.62] Like, I could take a demo and kind of hack it up, but I couldn't really get my head around it. |
[3071.04 --> 3072.38] Let me get this straight. |
[3072.58 --> 3079.36] You'll build an oven to bake your own bread, but you didn't want to do a deep dive into 3JS? |
[3079.96 --> 3080.46] Well, no. |
[3080.66 --> 3088.88] It's because, like, to get at the low-level constructs that I actually want to figure out in order to understand how everything is built, it was just too much code in the way. |
[3088.88 --> 3098.28] So what I eventually ended up finding, though, is Makola Lysenko and Substack live on the Big Island in Hawaii now next to a volcano. |
[3098.66 --> 3100.64] And they hack on this thing called Regal. |
[3101.12 --> 3101.56] Wait. |
[3102.58 --> 3104.18] You kind of skipped over that kind of fact. |
[3104.50 --> 3104.80] Yeah. |
[3105.16 --> 3105.34] Wait. |
[3106.24 --> 3108.76] Substack lives on an island in Hawaii now? |
[3109.34 --> 3109.58] Yeah. |
[3109.72 --> 3110.16] Yeah, yeah. |
[3110.22 --> 3118.08] Substack and Makola and Marina all moved to the Big Island in Hawaii because it's cheap and because coconuts have 1,200 calories in them. |
[3118.88 --> 3119.32] Okay. |
[3119.90 --> 3120.26] Yeah. |
[3121.76 --> 3122.68] It's amazing. |
[3122.86 --> 3125.44] You have to eat the skin in order to get all 1,200, though. |
[3125.88 --> 3126.62] I don't know. |
[3127.50 --> 3131.40] But, no, they're building this thing called Regal, R-E-G-L. |
[3131.40 --> 3137.90] And essentially, it's various kind of Substack small modules philosophy. |
[3138.68 --> 3143.56] And Makola is just like this amazing math dude doing all these kinds of crazy algorithms. |
[3143.56 --> 3152.38] But it essentially gives you WebGL, but then adds a bunch of features and kind of modules, and you can plug in different algorithms and stuff really easily into it. |
[3152.38 --> 3164.18] But the most amazing thing about it is when you get an error in your WebGL code, you actually get line numbers out of the debugger that gives you your line number in your crazy abstract thing from Regal. |
[3164.18 --> 3170.86] So, it's really well put together, and they've done a really amazing job with the tooling and the debugging side of it. |
[3171.34 --> 3176.06] So, I was actually able to build much cooler, kind of quicker things with Regal than I could with 3.js. |
[3176.06 --> 3182.40] Because even though there's far less big demos and stuff with it yet, I did find it easier to just kind of pick up and learn. |
[3183.38 --> 3187.18] Anyway, I think we're nearly good. |
[3188.08 --> 3189.30] We're going to do picks now. |
[3189.56 --> 3190.38] It's time for picks. |
[3190.84 --> 3198.56] I hope you all picked something that you like that you can link to, or you can just pull one of the many things that you've already mentioned in the podcast so far. |
[3198.56 --> 3206.78] I think, yeah, I'll go back and I'll just pick Regal because it's an awesome library. |
[3206.96 --> 3212.14] I think they did a great job, and I love those guys, and I hope they don't die in a volcano eruption. |
[3214.54 --> 3218.02] Oh, and I'll plug bits.coop, B-I-T-S.coop. |
[3218.66 --> 3226.88] Actually, McCullough and Substack do consulting for any kind of 3D programming stuff that you need, or really just any programming that you need. |
[3226.88 --> 3228.18] They're pretty amazing. |
[3228.56 --> 3230.18] And they're available through Bits.coop. |
[3230.30 --> 3239.02] They're trying to do a kind of cooperative, anarcho-socialist style thing for a consulting business. |
[3240.00 --> 3241.40] So check that out. |
[3242.48 --> 3249.32] My pick will be Observatory from Mozilla, which is the security checker that I mentioned before. |
[3250.28 --> 3257.84] So if you have a website and you're interested in finding the security properties of that website and what you might want to do to increase them, |
[3257.84 --> 3266.92] such as get rid of your SHA-1 certs, then check out observatory.mozilla.org. |
[3267.66 --> 3275.44] My pick is actually a talk, and it's Marco Kosaka's talk on how computers read pixels. |
[3275.44 --> 3287.68] It's really, really interesting, and it has great diagrams if you're ever wondering how image processing works, which is a foundation for a ton of augmented and mixed reality stuff with WebGL. |
[3287.68 --> 3295.62] So it kind of helps you understand on a more fundamental level what is happening when you're looking at these kind of AR markers. |
[3296.30 --> 3296.60] Oh, man. |
[3296.66 --> 3298.30] Maria Kosaka's talks are always so good. |
[3298.30 --> 3307.54] She really dives into these concepts that everybody kind of takes for granted and really learns them and explains them in a really, really amazing way. |
[3307.54 --> 3317.12] I've told her that I really appreciate how she doesn't just explain how something's working so that it's accessible to everyone, |
[3317.12 --> 3328.64] but she also tells the journey of what led her to want to even do that in the first place and the struggles that she had while making it and then the successes. |
[3328.64 --> 3330.94] Those are my favorite kinds of talks. |
[3331.04 --> 3340.86] I'm going to try for the picks maybe every other week between maybe a library that's cool or a project that's cool and then other talks that I think are really great. |
[3341.88 --> 3344.06] And, of course, you can find links to all this stuff in the show notes. |
[3344.60 --> 3345.62] That's it for this week. |
[3345.70 --> 3347.16] We'll, of course, be back next week. |
