It is an interesting experience to work on two related series in parallel - traditional geometric drawings on paper versus digital images created with JavaScript code based on threejs. Both feature an ellipsoid intersecting a sphere, related to the physics of the gyroscpe:

Currently working on the latter: I am moving my virtual camera manually to find an interesting viewpoint (Shown in the animated gif). The actual artworks - to be printed - will be high-resolution still images. I am still playing with all the parameters: The shape of the ellipsoid, the colors, the density of points and randomization of colors.

BTW, first ever gif I created :-)

I'm about to go on a whole rant on why I love venture as a dps.

🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨

Venture is literally a splatoon players dream, as a person who used to play alot of splatoon 3 before I switched to overwatch.

(I use a Nintendo switch and my switch pro controller, I have gyro enabled and it's set to max sensitivity [both x and y axis] and the same goes for my stick movements).

The fact that they can go underground and avoid damage, plus getting a temporary shield when using their abilities!??!?! It reminds me of the swim feature in splatoon, difference is venture can't get hurt and the ability is timed.

They're Abilities are sooooo good when it comes to crowd control especially when they exit the ground, if you charge it, it causes a shockwave!??! Dispersing a crowd while also dealing damage.

Playing them reminds me of playing splatoon with one of my favorite weapons: the explosher. But 10x better!?!? Difference is higher mobility with venture and lower range. In splatoon the explosher has high range and very low mobility making it more of a backline weapon. However the projectiles are very similar, with a direct hit and a splash/explosion. Both weapons are great with crowd control in different ways, with the explosher you can fire projectiles from a distance, the projectiles explode on impact dispersing a crowd, pushing the other team back in order to regain health(it takes about 2 direct hits to kill). Venture's ability, burrow, definitely can help with crowd control by dealing damage, knocking back opponents and disturbing the momentum of the enemy team. In overwatch venture's weapon(smart excavator) takes about 3 hits to kill most characters(not tanks) without using combos. Both weapons are on the slower side, with a delayed hit and slow firing rate however both weapons make up for it when it comes to damage.

Because venture is so mobile it makes perfect sense for them to be melee/short ranged, again I love the crowd control aspect they have! I think blizzard also did a great job at making them balanced! Even though their abilities seem op, there are multiple ways to counter their attacks, even their ultimate can be countered by either a shield(as long as its on the ground) or by jumping(like you would a jump rope or the special: wave breaker from splatoon[you jump over the waves to avoid damage]). With venture as long as you look for the signs that they're around you have a chance at countering them or getting out of the way. When venture travels underground it shows exactly where they are, and when they charge up an exit you can clearly see how big the impact will be, making it easy to avoid as long as your character is quick enough.

In my opinion venture is a really fun character to play, honestly they have to be my current favorite. I found that their abilities are really easy to learn and even combo, if you like melee characters that are also good with crowd control and are very mobile.

BMI323 IMU breakout ⚙️🔍

We have a project we're working on with a BMI323 (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/b/bosch-sensortec/bmi323-inertial-measurement-unit) chip. Since this is our first time using the sensor, we decided to make a breakout for it! This chip has fast sample rates and an I2C/I3C/SPI interface. After we explore this chip, maybe we'll do an EYE ON NPI about it!
