Had some time the other day to do some meta research, and oh boy have I been playing totally wrong this entire time. Now to see how we do during FZD events this weekend.

Hopped in the Fox for some Secret League action last night. Haven't run it in 959s for a while, though I don't think this was a full lobby.

Wrapped up this Mini World Tour run this weekend, survived 3 out of the 5 #FZD events. Gonna need to do some recording and submitting of GPs I think to figure out where I need to improve. EU GP - youtu.be/xcEauv0fT7M NA GP - youtu.be/winPkjhokG4 EAD - youtu.be/MJyNx9EcTUo

Wrapped up this Mini World Tour run this weekend, survived 3 out of the 5 #FZD events. Gonna need to do some recording and submitting of GPs I think to figure out where I need to improve. Feels like I'm losing speed in places, just can't tell where on my own. Did some speed runs this weekend too in between MWTs and I've blown a lot of my old times away, still ridiculously short of the pack on speedrun.com though.

Day #genuary4 of #genuary2026: Lowres.

This is WIP -- I have sunk too many hours into this and need to move onto some other stuff for a bit!

I interpreted lowres as also being "low poly" eg a Playstation 1 / N64 aesthetic. I have wanted to somehow proceduralize 3d form creation ala an extension to my 2d robots project (https://pixelfed.social/p/heavyimage/784371926546424868). I initially wanted to see if I could proceduralize the creation of lil robot pals with a lot of character ala the mechs in "Enter the Breach" using geometry nodes in Blender but it was proving a bit too difficult (though the most recent 5.1 alpha has the hilariously named "bone info" node for querying armatures which is super cool!).

In the end I tried to simplify by going with a more F-Zero / Wipeout style aesthetic to see if I could I could generate low-rez 'racers'. Even though the end result is supposed to be very polygonal, I thought I'd have the most control if the 'design decisions' were handled by a low resolution system of lofted curves.

In the screenshot you can see: the randomly manipulated control curves (via some rules I worked out to generate generally pleasing forms). Behind that you can see the lofted forms. And in the back you can see a procedural decimation / "low rez aesthetic" version of each racer.

Achievements:
* The setup is totally self contained and relies on a single "seed' value so that's literally just 7 cubes each with a copy of the GN setup w/ different seeds.
* I learned a ton more about GN and lofting
* Some (but not all!) of the racers have some character!

TODO:
* More variation in gross structure
* Still not really nailing the low-poly aesthetic.
* Procedural fins / canards / wings / air intakes
* Procedural texturing :-)
* Procedural low-poly mechs!

Woke up way too early yesterday so I decided to hop in EAD, was NOT expecting to do this. All 3 MWTs were with bonus points for not cheesing, but they were all packed 1.5x lobbies. Pretty sure that’s my first #FZD podium. #fzero99 #gaming #fzero #nintendo
