4k at 200% screen percentage 2 minute frame 64 samples per pixel with 8 temporal samples This is mighty handy for High Quality Renders

Dylan Browne @dylanbrowne.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

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

Two new arrivals this week, Vicky's never seen the alien or predator series so propping for that, a bit scared to view the aliens one with Cameron's recent track record of denoising

Whipped up this fun little test scene while waiting for Houdini to finish doing stuff, Fully procedural Backrooms in #UnrealEngine using PCG, even the camera paths are from PCG's output Heres a full 27 mins of it on Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtAL... #UE5 #GameDev #Realtime #PCG #Backrooms

Delved deeper into LumenRef, the prototype Reference Lumen added tro UE6-Main this week, extreamly promising stuff. #GameDev #UE6 #UnrealEngine #Cinematic #VFX #VirtualProduction

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

Dylan Browne @dylanbrowne.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

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's very funny to use the nvRTX 5.8 branch, MegaGeometry uses a BLAS and CLAS to raytrace nanite geo correctly, in 5.8 Epic added their own CLAS implemenation, the cvars are a little close lmao play the guessing game which is which

Houdini 22's new UI is very nice, but most importantly themes are now a thing, which means I had to immediatley do the most important one. #Houdini #VFX
