I lost a big part of my motivation months ago and I thought the AI development will spark a new interest in me for coding, because that is one field I never really explored...but it hasn't. Then, few days before I posted about ambient occlusion, my new PC started crashing randomly. That didn't help at all. I thought maybe drivers got messed up or something, so I reinstalled Windows (I was planing to do that either way), but it didn't help. I haven't bothered installing Visual Studio again...
Long story short, don't expect new updates any time soon.
