I know it’s been a highly requested feature since launch, with the pathtracing update this week we also added support for FSR 4.1 upscaling to the PC version of 007 First Light

Happy to share that I'll be joining the Advances in Real-Time Rendering in Games course at Siggraph next week to talk about how we render volumetric effects in our Glacier engine & 007 First Light with Smolder! Take a look at all the cool presentations that are lined up!

As you might have seen there have been layoffs at IOI this week. While I’m not affected, a lot of really experienced, passionate and talented people are. If your studio has positions available, please keep an eye open for them on linkedin and strongly consider hiring them

Also, the game is absolutely gorgeous. Moderately conservative, technically, but it aims for great performance and image quality alongside strong art design. I love it.

Very happy that we were able to finally share a closer look at Smolder in the latest @digitalfoundry.bsky.social video! It is a fully integrated volumetric renderer, and it enables volumetric shadows for every light in the entire game. You'll see a lot of Smolder effects in @007game.ioi.dk

We talked to Digital Foundry about our Glacier engine and some of the tech we developed for @007game.ioi.dk. The super tired looking guy in there? That's me!

Some PS5 Pro 60 fps footage - It truly can't be overstated what an amazing job the team did these last couple of months to get the performance to where it is today. Looking forward to everyone getting their hands on it on the 27th! 😄

I'm sorry but if you have 4,000 employees and your revenue is 6 billion, you make 1.5 million per employee and if you can't make a profit margin there, you are simply embezzling it.

I really hope that AMD puts this out in official form even if it has worse quality than RDNA4 level FSR4. It would be a great way to allow older GPUs on the AMD side to get in on the ML-reconstruction train even if it costs more on them.
