Here's a really cheap method for removing texture tiling with a single texture sample- Distort the uniform UV grid with a smooth interpolated hash noise. Doesn't work for everything but works great for some organic textures like sand. #UnrealEngine #shaders #UEFN

@tom_doerr Flew under my radar. Thanks for posting.

@svpino @huggingface What are the compute requirements to run this?

New open-source 3D world-generation model. I'm rendering a couple of worlds in the video, so check it out. You'll find the GitHub and the @huggingface links to the model below. This is a multi-modal world model that you can use for a bunch of things: • To generate new worlds • To reconstruct worlds • To simulate 3D interactive worlds from a prompt, images, or a video You can edit the 3D outputs in Unity and Unreal Engine (they export as meshes, 3DGS files, and point clouds). You can also generate 3D characters in the world and walk around. Pretty fun stuff!

@p_kostic I'm planning it but there is no timeline yet.

@BlockyBard will this ever be public? because if so I'm definitely trying it once i get my hands on vr

Good progress so far on my VR WorldBuilding tool. What do you think? #GodotEngine #VR #Terrain3D

Do you review code anymore? Be honest

@wildmindai Did you manage to run it? How much VRAM does it require?

Software Engineers what's your plan B if AI replaces you?

@dummblond So did I today. Strange

So I did a thing. Fully uninstalled UEFN and FN. I am taking a legit step away and having a well deserved break from FN. I have never taken anytime away from it since it was released almost 9 years of being on almost daily. Even when I said I was taking a break lmao I was still doing stuff. Mental health has been at an all time low and I am trying to pivot to things that bring me joy. For too long I have felt paralyzed in my depression and was mentally and emotionally shutting down on all levels. I cannot let it win. So for now I am enjoying WoW, enjoying the weather outside and planning for a very special thing happening at the end of this year. 💜

@DesignLvLUp Great decision, you'll never look back.

I've officially quit Maya and moved to Blender. Saving on that yearly fee!

@Teteux_ofc How???!

First-person system with an arm and hand holding a flashlight. Smooth animations, works well, includes options to turn the flashlight on/off. Perfect for horror maps! 🎃🔦 #UEFN #Fortnite #VERSE #FLASHLIGHT #SYSTEM #NEW

@OlumoroD711 @EnergyUp_ I meant "lock in"

@BlockyBard @EnergyUp_ Lock what ? Cos I’m close to 26 👀

@AndyFidel_ Metaverse from "Meta" might be dead but the hardware only has forward to go. They're just pivoting to XR for now. This is the only medium and form factor that makes sense going forward.

“Isn’t the metaverse dead?” “Isn’t your medium kind of… over?” I’ve been hearing that a lot lately. And mmh… I get it. Things are shifting. Some platforms we love are closing. I feel like, the negativity is so loud right now. Recently, someone asked me: « Why do you even wear the headset? » And realized, I have so many reasons: For the moments of connection. For that sense of presence with my friends. For the freedom to create and build. For the way I get to share my passions! For the sense of wonder that still hits me... Our ecosystem might be changing. But that feeling? Is still very real. And honestly, I want to share more of that. I’m tired of the doom and gloom. The constant negativity. Especially from people who don’t even use it, yet have the loudest opinions. Quick to dismiss a decade of progress. Want to hear from people actually using VR. I want to share our stories. ---- I’m creating a social video report ✨ Collecting personal stories from the VR community. Not the hype. Not the platforms. Just the why: • Why do you choose to put on the headset? • What makes this medium special to you? • Why do you keep coming back? • Why does VR matter to you? If you’re up for it, come share your story with me :) forms.gle/BwVkJ1BFX31s6Q…

@jakeygrays @AndyFidel_ @brown_lantern @80Level I'm glad you like it. I wanna make level design feel as natural and as flow inducing as possible. This one is especially for my back. Can't afford to be hunched over a screen anymore(getting old 😅)

@BlockyBard but I'd get one for this!! just want to tag people to see this awesomeness @AndyFidel_ @brown_lantern @80Level 😬

Landscape layer painting tools, 3D native UI #godotengine #VR #terrain3d

@jakeygrays I'll send it to you first bro if you have a VR headset, once its usable enough. I'm planning a one click UEFN importer as well so you're gonna like it.

@BlockyBard this would be my happy place

@lichtfeldstudio You forgot btw at the end

LichtFeld Studio is available as Arch Linux package 🤯
