Just released the Material base I use on Vesper to get nice, chunky anti-aliased pixels with meaningful shimmer reduction. Check it out! riversalmon.itch.io/retro-surfac... *example image uses Makkon Textures, not included. #unrealengine #retro #gamedev

Floor corner demonstration of Retro Surface. A Makkon floor and wall texture are used, and the camera is at a grazing angle to demonstrate that shimmer is mitigated and anisotropic filtering still works, which it typically would not with point filtering. The scene is with dark teal lighting, and dark carved stone and tile surfaces.

What UVing in a good level editor tool is like: Select a face and Alt + RMB on hovered faces to flow it to that face. I can also flow it from the hovered face to the selected faces with Shift + Alt + RMB (coming in Scythe 0.7).

Really sorry to hear things went this way. It's not much, but if you want some short term env art + level design contract work, I have a project I'm running that could use some. Feel free to message me and we can discuss rates/the project/everything. I'm sure you'll land somewhere good

Sadly this checkbox doesn't actually change anything; it just lets you use the function in contexts that need to be threadsafe. The actual behavior doesn't change, and if the function wasn't safe the checkbox won't make it so

Ex-farm worker here. We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing. Not true AT ALL. Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are. The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour. At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

one of the saddest things about western masculinity is that it comes with a predetermined set of life goals from the very start. a kind of life that one should live, and things they should strive for lest they be a failure as a man. none of that sounds like freedom

Thanks to @iquilezles.bsky.social 's blog (iquilezles.org/blog/) for the UV tricks that make this effect possible. They're the real hero, I just made it convenient to use in Unreal :P

The textures themselves are from Makkon's Quake textures.

another shot of the Retro Surface material I'm making to make using nice crunchy pixel textures look right in #unrealengine

An outdoor air conditioning unit rendered using Unreal 5 and the Retro Surface material. Point filtered details are preserved without Moire patterns forming in the distance.

River Salmon @riversalmon.itch.io · 25/05/2025

I put in some UV interpolation that allows it to resist Moire patterns that usually form with point filtering or quantization like this.

River Salmon @riversalmon.itch.io · 25/05/2025

Using some UV tricks from Inigo Quilez's blog, I was able to get very convincing pixel textures but still using regular samplers - meaning you get to use shared samplers, anisotropic filtering, etc! I also have some PBR inference from color textures worked in too. Textures by Makkon.

River Salmon @riversalmon.itch.io · 20/05/2025

There are nodes to do replacements for specific passes; I'm aware of at least Shadow Pass Switch and Lightmass Replace. It's not exactly what you're looking for, but changing parts of the material based on pass might get you started
