I just heard from @sascharode1986, the developer of SDF Modeler, that he'll be working on a macOS version. 🥳

SDF Modeler is already available for free for Windows and #Linux.

As far as I'm concerned, SDF Modeler is one of the best SDF 3D tools around at the moment, featuring advanced options like nested shapes and a path-tracing renderer.

The #Atari 1200XL was a 8bit #homecomputer running a #MOS 6502 #CPU at 1.79 MHz. When this beautiful machine was launched in 1983 with 64Kb RAM the price was under thousand dollars, but... https://youtu.be/JyA5tA5mmYY

$omehow, in the #8bitwar the #C64 was much more popular even when specs been almost the same. The difference in #BASIC language was less significant for the success. Most likely that competition was won by #Commodore because Jack Tramiel took the advice of his grandfather so serious.

The ZX Spectrum was launched 1983 as #Timex Sinclair 2068 computer on the US market. With a #Z80A CPU running on 3.5 MHz this beautiful #homecomputer was capable to draw electric images on a regular telly. With a resolution of 256×192 #pixels even limited to 15 colours it was great for the budget.

‘Like and follow’, a short award winning CGI animated film from 2021 by Brent Forrest and Tobias Schlage. Unfortunately very true for many children (and adults), but again …, luckily there are healthy alternatives to escape from these toxic social media and gaming platforms …

I've been sitting here thinking about the practical effects used in The Thing, and it has made me a little annoyed at how CGI has taken over the world of horror.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but I miss when it wasn't relied on. There's something charming about practical horror effects.
