I started with a blank project template 5 hours ago. Now I've got a little 3D scene graph editor with gizmos, wireframe and shaded view modes, texturing, drag and drop OBJ file importing, and tile-based raytraced rendering, that runs on Mac and iPad.
Thanks Codex!
@stroughtonsmith wonderful, it looks really clean too. Is it all Codex? Or did some of your experience come into play during development? Do you think you could get it to a shippable state?

@simsaens I'm trying to recreate Valence3D based on what I see on the website, since Apple hired the developer and it's not likely to see any new development. So, for now, the visual identity isn't mine. As I keep progressing it, I expect that to diverge a lot more. I'm guiding Codex through it bit by bit, it wouldn't come up with anything like this on its own; but it can blast through a raytracer no problem

@stroughtonsmith it’s weirdly reassuring that your experience and creative taste are still important. These tools really let us focus on building the fun bits

@stroughtonsmith @gernot yeah though sometimes you get me doubting that when you casually produce a full scene editor with gizmos, raytracer, viewport orientation widget, and an inspector with gesture-based numeric sliders in five hours

@simsaens did I mention I know absolutely nothing about Metal?

@stroughtonsmith you did but thanks for making it clear

@stroughtonsmith Seeing all this makes me wonder how Codex would fare with building a Unity game project from scratch.

@stroughtonsmith @simsaens This is all reminding me of how much I miss iTracer. https://page-online.de/tools-technik/itracer/

You know what I really could use at WWDC?
Teach a generative model to build high-quality vector SF Symbols so we can make custom ones, like say a full set for 3D modeling suites or PencilKit drawing apps, on demand
…asking for a friend…

@stroughtonsmith @stern what we need is a blender-light

@stroughtonsmith @stern that would be nice. But given how bad Creator Studio is, with its upsell nags - I hope it won't be. But who knows. World needs something like blender - free and good, but "light" . I know how to use blender but I still have to look up tutorials from time to time to do basic things. It has soooo many features!

Upgraded my raytraced renderer with bounce lighting and true reflections. Now it looks pretty legit!

The floor also needed some bounce lighting
