Includes wrangle params with chf/chi and Houdini OpenCL-style #bind, etc @ calling snippets.</p> <p>Would love feedback:</p> <ul> <li>whether the Unity, vex, linting, parms on snippets feel useful</li> <li>what curve, noise, shader families are missing on your daily work or curiosity</li> <li>whether Houdini OpenCL, Metal, Glsl snippets should be a separate copy target or format</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://curvoteca.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://curvoteca.com</a></p> <p>Enjoy!</p> gamedev showdev sideprojects tooling Progress on Plexus!
