Full Screen (screen-space) can be used to create HUDS, overlays, menus Texture…

Today was a bit of a waste of time. When deciding what to learn this week I gave myself two main options. Pick a handful of topics from the Diving Deeper documentation.

Today I completed the final two chapters of the Babylon JS Getting Started guide. These chapters focused mostly on lighting and cameras, but also briefly touched on GUI.

    This was a short test recording I made with Adobe Podcast (beta as of Sep 2023).

    Recording:

    Unedited transcript:

    Joseph: This is just a test of the new Adobe Podcast app. It’s in beta and I’ve been on the waiting list for a couple of months and I got the email this weekend. So I’m talking into my MacBook with no microphone or anything, just using the the built in MacBook Pro microphone. And I’m sitting on my couch not terribly close to it and talking pretty quietly at my normal tone and not necessarily holding still or trying to be quiet. So. Yeah. That’s where it put this thing through its paces and see what it can do with mouth sounds and background sound or whatever. But yeah, I’m just going to talk for about, I don’t know, five more seconds and then I’ll stop and see what it sounds

    Notes

    • Editing is a bit limited
    • Exports are large and would need to be mixed down
    • Chrome only
    • Beta for now, pricing unknown
