Okay so my last idea has one big problem: I need to project vertices into a single space which encompasses an entire hemisphere. AND straight lines need to remain straight when projected.

That's not something a typical projection matrix can do. Damn. I'm thinking maybe something like octahedral projection? [1]

But I'm not sure there's an answer. Else I would have to chop up the hemisphere into parts and try rastering each tri for each view. Ugh, that sucks

I'm just gonna upvote you for math

I miss games programming. damn the math is sexy. the optimizations. pure. unduplicated. finding least operationalized maths. mrreeeow. talk about code golfing.

I'm high off the mildest stimulants ever I think. I feel drunk

I don't understand your words though but that doesn't matter. maybe one day I could develop a vocabulary again, and have the time to disappear like a crazy person into the night coding some dumb shit that didn't need to be made and amounts to nothing other than feeding my conceptual aesthetic hunger

@jestdotty are you upvoting for math or meth? ;-)

@Demolishun Hey, maybe both ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@jestdotty an Apple processor is still a shit processor even when it is faster. :-)

@jestdotty so I got some organic fruit powder shit to put in my smoothies. They sent me this weird 5 mushroom coffee I haven't tried yet as a sample.
