#22Earlier quoted context omitted.
When the topic is rendering 3d models using ASCII glyphs, we've already exited the realm of advantages and disadvantages. This is just supposed to be cool.
Cool things are allowed to be practical and well-engineered, too. Either way, it seems weird to list a disadvantage as a headline feature.

#23Seeing some of your rendered 3D models in ASCII glyphs reminded me of 3D pixelated video games. It is really cool, but I fail to see its applications.

#24What’s up with filtering of clearly low effort AI posts here? Every now and then I see this crap here. And people even engage into discussion. This is ridiculous.
It pairs well with a 3d splatting story in the front page https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48618481 despite the slop

I was gonna say that this kind of thing is a big yawn in the age of asking an LLM to do something like this. I think it would have been interesting if the author had gone a bit further and made it a useful command line tool for something. I'm impressed by demos to the extent that they show skill. I'm impressed by tools to the extent that they show an understanding of the process. I'm not sure whether this accomplishes either.

#27That is very cool, dare I say impressive (at least in my opinion).
Folks need to ease up a little I think.

Dwarf Fortress 3D obviously

#29Thats fantastic. Someone make a video game using it
Re: Show HN: An ASCII 3D Rendering Engine
#30Is it like a filter on top of graphical 3D rendering or is everything rasterized in ascii from the basics?
