In a mist-shrouded corner of the eerie neighborhood, where the line between the living and the afterlife blurs, a new home emerges next to the infamous Addams Family mansion. This house, a bizarre mix of Victorian architecture and Gothic grandeur, appears almost overnight, much to the curiosity of the Addams clan. Gomez and Morticia, ever intrigued by the unusual, decide to greet their new neighbors.

As they approach, the door creaks open, revealing none other than the ghost with the most—Beetlejuice, in all his chaotic glory. With a mischievous grin and a puff of green smoke, he introduces himself, reveling in the sheer oddity of the situation.

HEY EVERYONE!!! This coming Saturday, TOMORROW, November 1st we will be celebrating Álfablót the Nordic celebration that honors the spirits of a family’s ancestors, loved ones who have gone before s in this life, and the family’s ongoing vitality. It's sort of a cross between Halloween and Thanksgiving, and it's celebrated in the homes by the families. This year we're celebrating Álfablót over in Birch Springs which is nestled in the beautiful and peaceful land of Bjrkeya which is governed by the Jarl Thorvaldr Ragnarsson, and his Partner Aelgifu Sveynsdottir.
The festivities begin at 2pm GRID time (That's Pacific time), and Thorvaldr & Aelgifu (Elle to us) will be hosting this event.
Music of the era will be provided by DJ Lavia.
Dress: We're partying like it's 999 or maybe 1025, so Medieval, Elf, Viking garb if you have it - if not, hey come as a Dinkie or even just a regular Avatar outfit like jeans and T. However you dress, come and join us!!!
The map to Bjrkeya is below:

THEME: Medieval.
EVERYONE is welcome and we hope to see you there!!

Porcupine Tree: Die Band die es nicht geben sollte

Der Mythos vom Stachelschwein

Beginnen wir mit einer unumstößlichen Wahrheit: Porcupine Tree war zu Beginn ein Witz. Ein kompletter, frei erfundener Scherz. In den späten 1980er Jahren saß ein junger Mann namens Steven Wilson in seinem Zimmer in Hemel Hempstead, England, und tat, was viele junge Männer mit zu viel Zeit und einem Vierspurrekorder tun: Er machte Musik. Sehr viel Musik. ...

What is PBR?
PBR (Physically Based Rendering) is a rendering approach that uses physics-based calculations for more realistic lighting, while Blinn-Phong is a non-physically based, older shading model that approximates specular highlights. PBR uses techniques like energy conservation and microfacet models to create more accurate materials that react realistically to light, whereas Blinn-Phong often produces a plastic-like, less realistic appearance. PBR is generally more computationally efficient and produces more consistent results because it focuses on the material's properties rather than the final rendered output.

PBR (Physically Based Rendering)
- Based on physics: PBR is a collection of techniques that aim to mimic how light interacts with surfaces in the real world.
- Realistic output: It produces more realistic results because it uses inputs like the material's microfacet properties and energy conservation to calculate how light reflects.
- Consistent results: The final appearance is more predictable and consistent because it is not based on a specific "look" but on physical principles.
- Efficient: PBR is often more efficient, as it relies on a smarter implementation where a single material object contains all the necessary textures and a single drag-and-drop can apply them.
- Example textures: Uses textures like metallic, roughness, and normal maps to define the material's physical properties.

Blinn-Phong
- Approximation: It is a non-physically based shading model that approximates the appearance of light reflection.
- Less realistic output: It can produce a "plastic" or less realistic look because it doesn't account for real-world light behavior.
- Fixed pipeline: It was developed for older fixed-function graphics pipelines and works by calculating a specular highlight based on the angle between the view direction and a halfway vector, rather than the more complex rendering equation.
- Texture maps: It typically uses diffuse, specular, and other texture maps to define its appearance.


So what does that all mean? It means PBR is more efficient and better at handling how light reacts with a material, producing a more realistic rendering. So PBRs are considered materials and not simply textures, because all the bumps, surface roughness and textures are included on one packaged resource.

In the upper image, I put a light source between two cubes.
LEFT: PBR
RIGHT: Blinn_phong
You can see how the light reflects correctly on the left and the right looks more plasticy

In the bottom picture is:
LEFT: PBR Drag and drop
MIDDLE: Blinn-Phong Adjusted, meaning I turned down the default shininess
RIGHT: Default Blinn-Phong No adjustments made
