I think I need to step back from the internet for a bit 😔

Yeah, its also hard to tell just based on the wireframe. There's definitely a lot of packs with assets like that on FAB, even from studios with a long history of making assets. But usually its a consistent thing across the whole pack if I see them. As even a lazy workflow is still a workflow

Been retopoing a bunch of similar assets I got on FAB somewhat recently. Baking them down onto something usable. All of them claim hand-made, so idk. The line between artists forced into "we need to pump out 2 asset packs per month" and AI is hard to find at times 😮‍💨

Another thing is that those usually keep it for a highpoly version only. Altho now that nanite is a thing - most of them stopped doing a properly clean lowpoly that would have normals baked down from that mess of a highpoly mesh. As nanite just doesn't care.

I've definitely seen similar-ish results for bevels when doing a voxel remesher to solidify a very messy boolean setup. And then using a damage geo node setup to create chips and inconsistencies for a stylized look. But its pretty rare to see outside of asset packs made by production houses

Clean colors and GI bounce strength >1 is just such a great look. Every time i see people replicate ME style with pure PBR it just fails to capture why it was so timeless to begin with.

Played a bunch of Wipeout (via Omega Collection) over the past couple days again. Peak videogame, honestly

Be weary that this will often make your avatar extremely bright in some clubs that rely on projector based lighting to darken the players to match the current lighting as well

Have been sick for almost a whole week. Probably the worst it has been since the last time I got Covid like 3 years ago. Would not recommend, actual misery

Playing through Deathloop is definitely one of the most memorable experiences I ever had. And getting that perfect ending loop was so worth it. Also the world was just so thick with environmental storytelling and interesting details that left me longing for more. What a game

For me, as not a native speaker, this is basically a map of content creators I watch. I do wonder if it'll shift over time now that I'm in Canada full time.

Spent the day refactoring and adding support for arbitrary passes for my little webgpu thing at orels1.graphics Implemented tonemapping (not uploaded yet) and now to figure out how to do Bloom without going crazy

Switched from using Music Bee with my library sitting on a NAS to Navidrome server + Feishin on PC + Arpeggi on iOS. Main reason for it was to avoid SMB as it kept giving me issues and would also freeze the player sometimes. Feishin allowing u to adjust volume bar size is also goated for VR overlays

It seems like making a fast movement FPS with a banger soundtrack is literally a cheatcode for a full access to my wallet. Totally unrelated: CICADAMATA OST is an absolute bop stillcrisp.bandcamp.com/album/cicada...

Stumbled upon this youtube channel recently that has been providing me with work background ambience for a couple weeks now. Tracking down non-ai music has been such a struggle, but this one is just really nice if you're into it. And yes, mentally im still at gm_construct youtu.be/LxxK7ANKXEA

It was also a rare AAA game I actually enjoyed playing. Over that time I mostly shifted to indies, but Destiny was always there in the background, as nothing could really match the vistas, the flow and the gunplay. But its probably for the best, AAA is not in a good place anyways

orels1 @orels1.bsky.social · 17/08/2026
I hope a game like this happens again in my life, something that I come back to again and again for more than a decade. But I worry that Destiny became what WoW is for a lot of early WoW players "you just had to be there". Something you love, but cannot really explain to anyone who wasnt there

orels1 @orels1.bsky.social · 17/08/2026
Datto released the very last Destiny 2 video. With that a decade+ of my "safe space" in games is wrapping up. It was always something to come back to, it was always there. And while the game is still online and I'll probably be poking at it from time to time, this feels like the final stopping point

I might’ve spent more time on this before bed 😅

It should separate into layers based on the angle. It didn’t work for zekk at all until they manually set the flag and then the blending was totally broken for them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Learned a little bit of webgpu + slang + odin over the last couple days. Got a new domain and used it as an excuse to spend some time porting one of my unity shaders. orels1.graphics Unfortunately, if you're on firefox - it doesnt really work, as its webgpu support is still lacking, apologies!

Did the Big Walk ending with a bunch of friends. This was so cool, if you have even a single person to experience the game with - you should

orels1 @orels1.bsky.social · 13/08/2026
I have accepted that at this point a certified "you just had to experience it back then" moment. i wish i could relate and be excited , but it never clicked for me :(

orels1 @orels1.bsky.social · 13/08/2026
This is definitely gonna make so eone unhappy, but for me thats Halo. I grew ip with doom and half-life. And i tried so many times to get into halo: the originals, the new ones and the anniversary variants, and it just never lands. Despite hundreds of hours in destiny and tons of other shooters.

hehe, yeah its really good. I use it all the time especially when migrating materials. So much better than locking and manually managing many inspector tabs constantly
020
orels1 @orels1.bsky.social · 07/08/2026
i usually would just plug stuff directly into the gesture manager's Test Animation thing, so making a tool to do it for me instead of needing to remember what they were called - was the easiest way here, hah
010
orels1 @orels1.bsky.social · 07/08/2026
Another "i can just make this" moment. Finally made a quick favorites tool that allows you to quickly play an animation on Gesture Manager from a predefined list. Together with time scale adjustments - makes it really nice to test for clipping issues. I should really find a place to dump these

orels1 @orels1.bsky.social · 06/08/2026
Everyone should be using Alt+P (or right click - properties) to have a floating inspector when they need it, so much better than locking and unlocking all the time. It’s just so nice
