This is, without a doubt, the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen online. The team behind this absolutely NAILED it—I’m so proud and deeply moved. Tears in my eyes! It’s available on Prime Video, and I cannot recommend it enough: Drop everything and watch it **RIGHT NOW!**🤖🌟🎮

This indie team is making a kart racing game where your vehicle is an office chair - Drift office chairs through hallways - Each chair & driver has unique perks - The longer you drift, the faster you go Would you play this? It's called Need for Seat

I implemented fully async world loading (not just off the main thread), so the renderer can show the world as fast as possible while other threads update acceleration structures, bindless arrays, and so on. I'm making a game, so iteration speed is critical.

Ok so what’s your all time favourite Star Wars sound?

@robertrioux "You didn't build your house, the hammer, the saw, and the paintbrush did!"

Ok one last thing. For those of you saying I didn’t create my addons because Claude did the programming, that’s not how it works. Claude did not spontaneously created an addon out of thin air. I came up with the idea, the functionality, the UI and Claude coded it for me. And I called the modifications and the changes. I’m the architect. Claude is the worker. Claude is the tool that helps me realize my ideas. And for those who say that are not my addons because I didn’t code them, that would be like saying Indiana Jones is not a Steven Spielberg movie because he didn’t write it, didn’t act in it and didn’t fill the 250 jobs that were needed to make the film. And no, I’m not saying I’m the Steven Spielberg of Blender! It’s just an analogy.

You seem to be a professional when it comes to completely misunderstanding posts! :D I love that Jared is the NASA administrator, and I hate Trump and how he treated him. Jared and the crew were there as a formality but oozed discomfort and it was clear as day they didn't want to be there.

@_james @theblaze we eagerly await your underwhelming, forgettable lunar mission

Question is asked about new NASA headquarters and Trump can’t help but point out NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman’s large ears: “You heard that question with those beautiful ears of yours? He’s got great hearing you know.”

@Im_A_Murse @theblaze I fully understand why Jared is there, I was referring more to the horse and pony show of it all.

@_james @theblaze it may/may not be related to his title of NASA administrator

This is why RAM is so expensive. 🔊

@panoskarabelas Sexy!

Added volumetric lighting to area lights and fixed ray traced reflections, they were ignoring scene lighting before (super bright all the time) Now I'm thinking I might keep working on this world and load into it from my car project, use it as a showroom or tuning shop.

@panoskarabelas Extreme for the sake of demonstration

@panoskarabelas Love to see it! One of the biggest issues games suffer with is some form of simulated GI (like old school ambient light value) and I've always wondered about the option of having some sort of simulated-GI via ambient-fog with levels based on screen space lighting..

I'm remaking my car showroom default world in my engine, this time using area lights, with more thought and love. This is just a first draft, I will share more as a improve things.

@panoskarabelas Imaging something like being generated based on light values, and then massively blurred, and overlaid

Took it further with @omma_ai, (@splinetool ) now it works on video, and everything working in a Web Browser. Drop a video, Depth Anything v2 calculates the depth map frame by frame, and Three.js renders a fully lit 3D mesh in real time. Depth estimation on video in the browser +Automatic baking pass + Dynamic lighting reacting to the geometry #vibecoding #threejs #webgl

Did I just fix subD creases??

@denzelgamedev From the macro world building to the micro details... And give me complexity in systems, the richer the better!

I tested the same prompt on both Grok 4.3 and GPT 5.5: “Count to 10 starting from 11” ChatGPT 5.5 gave the obvious 11–20 Grok 4.3 gave 11, 10 and explained why going backwards was the only logical move Grok’s logical reasoning is at a level most models still can’t even touch

@panoskarabelas @guycalledfrank Maybe the denoiser is cleaning up some otherwise-needed AO results depending on amount of bounces? I was talking with AI about this and it mentioned ReSTIR possibly picking up too many samples and over-illuminating "shadow" areas.. :shrug:

@guycalledfrank There is something flat about it, couldn't spot anything, I suspect the issue might be coming from somewhere else. Not sure yet.

On the left, what a regular engine would do. On the right, Spartan path tracing the room from nothing but the emissive ceiling material at 16.6 ms. FYI: Also wrote a lightweight spatiotemporal denoiser to clean up whatever noise remains after the second spatial reuse pass.

Amose05 made a SPOM shader for Godot and posted it on godotshaders. I tried it out and the results are interesting, it's a start!
