| Quote parameciumkid (  ) It took a lot of frustrating learning-by-doing of shader programming, but the most important part was that Unity 5 allows indie developers (as opposed to before only in Unity Pro) to use the "GrabPass" function. Long story short, this takes a screenshot of the objects behind it, applies a sort of fisheye effect (based on some equations I found on Wikipedia), and then textures itself with the resulting image.
Cool! I don't have a lot of experience with Unity, but is the GetPass function grabbing just the black hole area or is it grabbing the entire screen? What's the performance like?

| GetPass() grabs the entire screen AFAIK, but it runs directly on the GPU so its effect on performance so far has been unnoticeable, even with my integrated graphics chip. I may run some benchmark tests later, as well as seeing how the engine handles several black holes on-screen at once.

| Thanks 
I used to have bluish gray eyes as a child, but that greenish layer grew over the natural color over time. Apparently it's a mutation called "central heterochromia".

| Oh man, I missed those last posts. Great macro shots as always... and that's an epic iris you have. 
As for me, yesterday I climbed a little mountain.

Thanks!
Those are some awesome sights
I really wish Finland had some mountains. Mountain climbing is something i would like to do someday.

Drive to Kilpisjärvi? Ok, a bit dull mouintians there, but from there it's just a short drive through the lovely valley of Helligskogen to Skibotn in Norway, and around there you'll find plenty of pretty nice mountains. Finland has mountains, but they're perhaps just teasers for what you'll find once you cross the border to Norway.

| Quote midtskogen ( ) Finland has mountains
Well yeah we have some with very shallow inclines. They don't really have as awesome views as the mountains you have in Norway.
The reason why i said we have no mountains, is that we have a separate word for those shallow mountains we have and the steep tall mountains elsewhere.
Quote midtskogen ( ) short drive through the lovely valley of Helligskogen to Skibotn in Norway
I've gone through that valley once on a trip from Finland to Sweden and then to Norway. Beautiful area.

Well, no 1000m drops, but some steep sides. I've been there a couple of times. This is the path to the three-country cairn looking over Kilpisjärvi towards Finland (to the left):
I think these shots were taken from the Swedish side of the border. From the cairn you're only 33 km from the Atlantic and still in Finland.

| Sometime ago I created a video visualising the Neil DeGrasse Tyson speech "The Most Astounding Fact". I made it for my A-Level course. The only thing I didn't record myself was the baby part.
