The companion project for my #PacktPublishing book is progressing pretty well...
These days, I'm working on the UI elements. Thanks to @kenney.nl for his amazing (and free!) assets.

So you’re crafting something for an all-knowing megacorp that owns your data, your soul, and your dog microchip? A few clicks in #UnrealEngine to add a looming tower and an all-seeing eye and you are finished. A totally original idea! ...or, is it?

I'm building a new UE5 plugin to be able to load VDB files at runtime. Any VDB on your disk. Only supporting static VDBs for now. Pretty happy with the results so far considering how challenging that was.

Working on such projects is always inspiring as you need to 'get into' the mind of other developers.
