+The Java mascot Duke, but with feet. Generated while experimenting with image models together with a colleague, Oliver. For some reason this one stuck.
+
+Around the release of GPT 4o, image generation crossed a threshold where producing coherent and highly specific results became trivial. Duke with feet feels like a small but telling example.

+Experimentation with marching cubes using a sampled 3D scalar field. Each grid cell evaluates eight corner values and selects one of 256 cases to generate interpolated triangle surfaces.
+
+Compared to block based voxel meshing, marching cubes produces smoother continuous surfaces at the cost of higher computational and implementation complexity.

+
+Face occlusion culling in a voxel engine where internal faces between adjacent solid blocks are removed during mesh generation. Starting from six faces per block, shared faces are eliminated to produce a minimal surface representation.
+
+This reduces triangle count, improves vertex cache locality, and lowers GPU bandwidth consumption. Particularly effective for opaque geometry.
