Spent the first part of this week working on expanding https://lovr.org 's Truetype/SDF font support to support pixel-art fonts. It went well. I am now one step closer to my dream of somehow making VR look as though you are watching the world itself on a busted VHS tape.
Finally I also did some experiments with expanding Lovr's truetype MSDF shader to do outline and glow effects. This was the image I was happiest with even though it was a bug (a < should have been a >, so instead of the letter outline fading to transparent the "inside" fills the whole glyph quad). It has this great construction-paper-cutout feel (it's a small thing but I love the imperfection inside the "t", it looks like an ink smear) #sdfidk
Postscript: Here are some gorgeous/awful images that came about when I was trying to debug something. I will not be explaining these.
