Nutty AI coding experiment of the day... Some 11 years ago I wrote some simple programs that could encode image files as audio for #hamradio SSTV but I never wrote the matching decoders. Today fired up gemini cli and asked it to write a more complete suite of both encoders and decoders. What's cool is I had it compile using emscripten, so you can encode and decode SSTV using that code, but running in the browser. https://mvandewettering.com/sstv-ref/ Never did that before.

First test of displacement shaders on rhayes. Obviously broken near edges of grids and discontinuities, which is something that has to be handled carefully, not surprised it didn't sort this out properly. I think I remember how we did this back in the day, when I get more claude minutes, we'll see if I can guide it to the right solution.

Stepping outside the limits of the RenderMan 3.1 spec with rhayes: adding support for inline parameter declarations, which makes for a slightly better quality of life.

I'm not sure the operation of the various coordinate transforms is working, but I can at least rotate the shader in object space. (Yes, I know the stars aren't pointy, the rounded one had an easier implicit equation).

When I was working on the initial version of rhayes, the Claude code generated version of the REYES architecture, I had difficulty getting information for it in Markdown format that the AI could use. I have since discovered "docling", which is a python library that can handle all sorts of document conversion tasks. In a few minutes, I had Markdown version of the original paper, along with text even extracted from Fig. 3, which was pseudocode of the overall algorithm.

I think that the biggest mistake I made in trying to do a Reyes compliant RenderMan renderer using AI is that I didn't accurately convey how the various shading spaces work. To be fair, I started with just Part I of the spec, and most of this stuff arises in Part II, which has to do with the shading language. I suspect after my Claude minutes reset on Monday, it will still take me days to sort out the mess.

Yesterday I started to find the technical debt generated by Claude re: my RenderMan renderer rhayes. It simply botched the handling of variables passed to shaders in a way which was incredibly convoluted and patched together in a way that introduced some bugs, and I had to dig in the code to figure out what was going wrong. It also generated some very weak tests which actually didn't test what they said they were. Probably will exhaust my daily usage before its sorted out.

Noise is working. I didn't specify anything about it, it picked the more modern (2002?) version of perlin noise. Had to direct it to fix a code generation problem, but it's working now. (Rhayes is now totalling about 16K lines of code).
