Requests & Feedback!

Hi everyone! First of all, thank you all for your amazing support! Your contribution continues to greatly help with both video production on YouTube and Hazel's development.

Secondly, I'd like to ask you all for some feedback (and requests) when it comes to this Patreon page. Access to Hazel is the primary focus of this Patreon page, however I would like to know what else we could do to provide more value to you. What can we do to keep you around, or if you haven't yet subscribed to a p...

Is C BETTER than C++ for beginners? // Full Code Review

Hey all! You guys liked the previous "Full" Code Review on Patreon so here's another one!

In this one we're looking at the beginnings of a little Vulkan engine made by a 13-year-old in C, which got me thinking whether or not C might actually be better than C++ for beginners, since it seems to teach a "better" way of programming than what many are taught in C++. What do you think?

He wrote this out BY HAND? // Full Code Review

Hey all! Trying something new here - longer more in-depth code reviews just for you Patrons! Let me know what you thought of this video, and if you have any follow up questions, I'll take a look for the next video.

And of course, if you have any code of your own you'd like me to review, send it in to chernoreview@gmail.com and mention that you're a Patron in the subject, and I'll do my best to review it. Thank yo...

Hazel 2024.1 🎉

Hi all, happy to announce that Hazel 2024.1 has now officially been released! 🎉

As well as a release tag (Hazel-2024.1), there is also a 2024.1 branch in the repository, which has been made the default branch. This branch obviously contains the 2024.1 release of Hazel, but also allows the team to continue to support this version by pushing bug fixes. This should be helpful going forward to those of you who wish to use specific versions of Hazel for your projects, as you will continue...

How To Add Custom Render Passes to Hazel

In this Patreon-exclusive video we continue taking a look at Hazel's new renderer, and what's involved in creating your own shader effect and inserting it into the rendering pipeline.

Leave your suggestions in the comments below; I'll be reading and discussing the comments in the next exclusive video.

PS. apologies for the audio - the gain was set too high for like the first 14 mins but I realised later and turned it down.

[EXCLUSIVE VIDEO] Answering Questions & Hazel's New Renderer (Part 2)

Sorry it's been a while since the last one - the Ludum Dare Game Jam and recovery meant I didn't get the chance to make any exclusive videos for a while! Hopefully you enjoy this one, and I'll try and put out one every week or so, as possible. Thanks for the support! ❤️

[EXCLUSIVE VIDEO] Hazel's New Renderer (Part 1)

Hi all, welcome to the first new exclusive video! If you're out of the loop I put up a video here on Patreon a few days ago announcing this new type of exclusive content for $5+ Patrons - basically I'll be putting out technical deep-dives on various Hazel topics every week or so!

In this first one we're taking a look at Hazel's new, much faster renderer. There's a lot to talk about so this will be a multi-part little series.

Would love some feedback on this new format because thes...

NEW EXCLUSIVE VIDEOS!

Hazel 2023.1 - HUGE New Release! 🎉

Hey everyone! Just thought I'd write a post to announce the Hazel 2023.1 has been released! Let's talk a little about what that means exactly, and what's new.

Basically we've decided to do quarterly "releases" where we merge a QA tested version of the latest features from the dev branch into the master branch. This ensures that the master branch remains stable and useable while the team works on new features in the dev branch. The master branch will be renamed to "release" in the future...

Unintentional Loss of GitHub Access

Hi everyone - Happy New Year! 🎉 Hope you all had a great holiday season! 🎄

Some of you may have recently lost access to the Hazel repository when your pledge renewed at the start of the month - this was due to our system misinterpreting a change-of-pledge notification it received from Patreon. We've made some changes to our system so it should not happen again, and if your subscription renews later in the month you shouldn't lose access.

If you currently do not have ...
