dxu24.bsky.social @dxu24.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Deus Ex: Revision starting to look jacked on Surreal 98. Latest patch adds a lot of new features, along with a super high performance new lighting system that optionally replaces UE5's lighting system. 120
dxu24.bsky.social @dxu24.bsky.social · 02/07/2026The video shows a grid of probes generated at level load. As dynamic meshes, like characters, weapons, etc, traverse the level they sample this grid for how to light themselves. The spheres output the colour and directionality of the lighting at each point in the grid. 020
dxu24.bsky.social @dxu24.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Due to how Unreal Engine 1 did lightmaps (per light, not per surface) we can actually reconstruct them into HL2-esque basis vector light maps. First image is lightmaps, spherical harmonics for dynamic meshes, no UE5 lights. Second is UE5 fully dynamic lighting 180

dxu24.bsky.social @dxu24.bsky.social · 02/03/2026There's a lot of details that can be eek'd out of old meshes and textures in games. The material system in Surreal 98 tries to guess at what roughness, specular and normal map values might make sense for a given texture, with parameters for tweaking. MJ12 Command Deus Ex GOTY 040

dxu24.bsky.social @dxu24.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Ok, yes, can technically place LAMs on the wall now 031
dxu24.bsky.social @dxu24.bsky.social · 08/01/2026I can't stop listening to this. There's something deeply engrossing about this game, yet at the same time, it's also kinda bad. You can feel the love / effort put into the game, the developers really cared about atmosphere, interactivity, depth of simulation.youtu.beShenmue Music: FREE 1 (Extended)YouTube video by Shenmue Fans 110
