A while back a friend was talking about their favourite character in a show, Their birthday was coming up, so I thought cool, I can make stuff, I can make their present(gift). My thought, was I could make something like portalgraph (something I saw a while back). The idea is to have a 3d illusion of a 3d character in real life by slapping a bunch of screens to a box. Somehting like this
yes this 3 laptop screen, i digress
I was planning to make a smaller, compact version, with 3.2 screens. One problem: I’ve never touched hardware before
My first idea was to use godot on a RP4, why an RP4 and not a RP5? because I was just gifted that, and I’m broke af. Problems with godot? it can’t really run 3d on a RP4, so I was left pondering. and pondering. Till Ithought, what if I just make the “3d” part myself. I could prob learn graphics programming (:skull:) and then make a 3 camera system, connect each camera to a screen, and beautiful “3d”. So I began my journey of finding the perfect language for this. and my big beautiful brain decided ofc, the best language, RUST (oh my sweet summer self).
