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

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

Interestingly on windows there does seem to be a little bit of screen space info but its almost not noticeable

Dylan Browne @dylanbrowne.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

When you occlude the reflection source in puddles for example there is no change whatsoever is the appearance of the reflection, its completely stable , and no screen information being added on top

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

forever jealous! by far my favourite trek film, and excellent vfx work all round, it still looks excellent to this day. I yearn to work on some trek but so far its not panned out in my career.

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!!

Dylan Browne @dylanbrowne.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Where is the fun in all this, none of these AI workflows are fun, satisfying or something to be proud of, a passionate artist will do stellar work, all these things do is suck all the passion and creativity from your work.

I’ve actually found myself avoiding local industry events a bit because I’ll either bump into someone who I have known or respect only to have it be revealed they have dived right on in.

Dylan Browne @dylanbrowne.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

This is something thats been worrying me a lot recently, funding is in dire straits as it is, to see so many just arbitrarily deciding to sell out go full tilt AI bro has been such a defeating experience.

Dylan Browne @dylanbrowne.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Artists also can’t really found more studios as much as that would be an excellent development, try finding someone with money that is also anti ai, i can’t think of one in my local area, if they exist they certainly aren't being vocal about it at all.

160

Dylan Browne @dylanbrowne.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

The answer isn't an easy one, it can't just be “join smaller studios” , for every large studio that embraces it there's a tonne of smaller ones also embracing it often in an even worse way.

Dylan Browne @dylanbrowne.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

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?
