Today in making my 5090 cry, I modified LumenPT (LumenRef has been Renamed) so I could control samples per pixel :D 32 samples per pixel here at 125% screen percentage haha Glorious #GameDev #VFX #Cinematics

Playing Silent Hill Townfall, and damn this is a very Dylan game, they even disabled screen traces in lumen and just let hardware lumen do all the work :)

also, can't stress enough that shit like wolverine having not an iota of respect for its audience has absolutely fuck all to do with "fidelity", stop throwing artists under the bus just because their type of art happens to coincidentally please you the least. blame the person who fucks up

Imagine funding countless live service games with immense budgets that never see the light of day or are shut down a week after launch instead of funding proven single player projects for a fraction of the cost

The Australian Cinematographers Society is hosting an AI session with Clayton Jacobson and they're saying it's to help build awareness of the threat of working with AI. A joke. AI has no place in filmmaking.

these worms are gettin' in the dev brains too. even indie devs or small companies you will see canceling a project or changing scope dramatically when they reveal and don't get tens of thousands of wishlists right away. you have to stick at stuff!!

As more and more vfx and game studios turn to AI in the fake pursuit of “cost cutting” (its more expensive) and “efficiencies” (it’s less efficient) I’ve been thinking a lot about where do the vast majority who wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole go?

Added today to UE6-Main a brand new Lumen mode; LumenRef, essentially reference quality lumen, per pixel, giving an absolutely stunning pathtraced feel to deferred renders but faster than using the path tracer, this scene has no lights, it is completely lit by those emissive. #UE6 #GameDev #VFX

You know those "rainstorm ambiance" long YouTube videos to fall asleep too that are almost always AI gen bullshit or really badly made 2.5d matter paintings? I thought there should be some nice looking ones without the AI Rainy Neon Alley 1 Hour Ambiance youtu.be/c0KefYj1p2c

Was curious about using PCG to smartly drive weather effects, so here's a test scattering drips from overhangs, puddles + splashes where those fall along with spawning spatial audio, pretty pleasing result for a quick test. #UE5 #GameDev #UnrealEngine #PCG

it is truly remarkable how big walk is full of australian native plants and animal sounds. you just really don't ever see this level of specificity. you are big walking straight up in australia. i keep being like "oh that plant!" but my wife is in dumbstruck awe every 15 minutes. "THAT'S A NATIVE!!"

I'm so very grateful for PeopleMakeGames giving me a platform to speak about the impact the dismissal from Rockstar has had on my family because it has been profound. We miss our dogs more than anything in the world and would do anything to have them both back. Unfortunately that cannot happen.
