Noted, I know we tweaked some stuff regarding tablet handling some time ago as well. A lot happened since 2023 ! 😄 But fair, not pushing for the subscription, just pointing out that some fixes might be already available.

So if you have the opportunity I suggest trying out a more recent version. Otherwise you can try a simple and dumb subdivision of your model. Big/long triangles could impact negatively performance in the past.

Late to reply, but from what I can see : -That's quite an old version haha ! - We changed quite a few things since last year with baking - Painter historically doesn't deal well with low-poly geometry (we fixed this a few month ago)

I fell into the #unity3d #HDRP codebase again. Oops. I wrote a post about how the water currents were done at the time: rivers, cascades and vortices on an FFT ocean, and no feature written for any of them. If you are curious: anisb.github.io/2026/09/26/c...

I would be curious to know what Painter made you struggle with, if you are willing (or have the time) to share. 😄

Gunman Contracts is very fun and I wish more people had VR to experience it fully. If you do everything right, you're John Wick. Most players are closer to a very heavily armed Mr Bean.

I've released my Tone Mapping Analysis tools for comparing tone mapping LUTs, implemented as a Unity project with custom editor windows. Compare how different tone mappers look when applied to HDR .exr images, with comparison sliders and a variety of overlays and graphs. github.com/runevision/T...

A table of different images, each row shown with different tone mappers. One cell shows a comparison slider.

Graphs are displayed for each tone mapper row and the Saturation Overlay is applied to the images.

In ~2007 when coding the ambient lighting of Splinter Cell, I had the idea of storing dynamic SH probes in Voronoi cells, where a) dynamic objects could walk/lerp the face graph, and b) static meshes "palettised" probes per vertex and lerped to give Realtime GI. It never shipped but look how pretty!

One thing it shows to me at least is how accurate BRDFs and lighting is important compared to anything else. I'm a bit tired of seeing the default unreal shading and lighting everywhere now. I hope substrate will help a bit for this.

Froyok (Léna Piquet) @froyok.fr · 01/09/2026

The only area where it seems to be better at is for local occlusion/hallucination of self-shadowing which is where games really lack. But what a price to pay to achieve this.

Froyok (Léna Piquet) @froyok.fr · 01/09/2026

ACES was already a problem for color tones and grading in games in recent years, this will make it worse.

"But look at the details !" Yeah, don't care, I want balance. This is the opposite of that. Even Nvidia offical showcase show the same kind of issues. It's like bad ENB/Reshad adidng "contrast" just to make it pop more. It kills any artistic intent.

Froyok (Léna Piquet) @froyok.fr · 01/09/2026

The comparison videos going around with the DLSS 5 dlls are making me sad. Plenty of folks being impressed about it, but all I see is a fancy highpass filter that sharper the image and kills anything but midtones.

Sunrise in the mountain forest. #GameDev #IndieDev #ProcGen

Sunrise over mountain tops with red glow.

Looking down at tree tops far below with a haze of bright white light in the distance.

A creamy glow lights up distant mountains.

A faint red and yellow glow at the horizon prior to sunrise, against dark landscape and clouds that are blue and purple in the distance.
