ProPixelizer for #unity3d's next update allows you to combine appearance and outline materials into a single uber material. Here's it in action, rendering a 3D object as #pixelart. #madewithunity

@alexanderameye Nice one Alex!

Linework is NOW LIVE on the Asset Store! A practical toolkit for rendering outlines, highlights and fills in Unity 🖍️ Get Linework here > assetstore.unity.com/packages/slug/…

@mikegalsworthy Would be interesting to see this normalised with respect to income band, eg 600 at lowest percentile will feel much more than 1k at highest

Fascinating analysis by the IFS on what the different manifestos mean for different wealth bands.

@GuatekeFrankie Nice height blending!

Also I made this concentric circles pattern (which is heavily inspired by The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom) to make some paths along the desert :) #zeldatotk

Using a triplanar shader for the terrain makes it more easy to work, as it uses the normal to decide wich of the textures shows up! #unitytips #indiedev

@OskSta @rawrafox Do either of you happen to know if you still get the benefits of the DepthPrepass (which only evaluates the color fragment if the depth test equals the value in the prepassed depth texture, discarding overdraw)?

@rawrafox Yeah I figured it's something like that. But I don't have a sense of how bad it is.

Does anyone know the performance implications of writing custom depth values per pixel in shader (using "out float depth : SV_Depth" in Unity)? Especially on weaker devices and mobile. I'm about to embark on a huge refactor and it would be nice to know if it's a terrible idea..

For ProPixelizer's next big update, one new feature I'm working on is better outlines: edge detection and outlines that respect dither and color palette settings if you want them to. All controlled through ShaderGraph and per object. #madewithunity #pixelart #unity3d

ProPixelizer for #unity3d's next update allows you to combine appearance and outline materials into a single uber material. Here's it in action, rendering a 3D object as #pixelart. #madewithunity

#ProPixelizer is currently 50% off in the asset store sale, with plenty of options for dithering and color grading to make #pixelart in #unity3d from 3d models in realtime!

@Darkere99 @FreyaHolmer their tweet states: "We want to be clear that the counter for Unity Runtime fee installs starts on January 1, 2024 - it is not retroactive or perpetual. We will charge once for a new install; not an ongoing perpetual license royalty, like revenue share."

@Darkere99 @FreyaHolmer ...We look at a game's lifetime installs to determine eligibility for the runtime fee. Then we bill the runtime fee based on all new installs that occur after January 1, 2024. " source: #unity-runtime-fee" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">unity.com/pricing-update…

I've double checked with unity the new changes apply to all unity games, including those released before 2024, for all sales and revenue in 2024 and beyond is this even legal

@pj_hobson @Mumetalshields @UoN_Physics @Sensors_QTHub Nice coils!

Excited to share our latest paper in collaboration with @Mumetalshields. We detail the design, building, and testing of a bench-top magnetic shield for atomic magnetometers, featuring optimised magnetic coils. Check it out: doi.org/10.1109/TIM.20… @UoN_Physics @Sensors_QTHub

@MolgeraxProduct @t3ssel8r @HarryAlisavakis Bear in mind that getting it to work is one thing, keeping it working is another - the api is not stable and those functions will completely change or vanish from one version to the next

@t3ssel8r @HarryAlisavakis I recently wrote a URP uber shader by hand for the first time. Having shadow mapping, SSAO, etc. readily available as one-liner functions is really convenient. But having to find out if / where they exist? Among the dozens of URP include files and compiler directives? Not cool.

@ForBo7_ How come it's so close but not equal? I like the other features, but the subtle differences here are offputting

Typst also writes a lot like Markdown. = Create A New Section Like This! _This_ text is really *emphasized*. + You can + create lists + like this too.

I tried out Typst from @typstapp , a new markup alternative to LaTeX, and it's so much more crazy nice to type in! Let's compare how writing the following equation looks in Typst and LaTeX.

@_ericelliott @aisolopreneur For me it started making up references almost a straight away, although interestingly they tend to use established names from the (niche) research field so they appear more legitimate. You can have fun prompting by asking 'Can you show me the paper on this topic by X'?

@aisolopreneur Bard hallucinates a LOT. Bing Chat is (currently) better for this kind of work, but it also hallucinates a lot. ChatGPT with GPT-4 hallucinates less frequently than either of those, but its browser plugin doesn't work as well as either Bard or Bing Chat (even the Bing version).

@breachway_game (link gives an error in twitter API for me!)

We have a new monthly development update up on our Steam page. Check it out store.steampowered.com/news/app/21188…

@zhinvfx You'll need to also snap the object positions to integer multiples of pixels to remove creep. You can also only solve the problem in realtime for orthographic camera projections

This works great only for a static image.. when camera moves, Pixels start to wiggle

I'm really interested in realtime-pixel-shader. Thanks to @drbentine's article on Medium, I've been making this shader on Unreal5!!🤩 #GameDev #MadeWithUnreal #UE5 #shader

@slipster216 @Erik_Borchers The API also changed in URP 13

@slipster216 @Erik_Borchers In 2020 and 2021, you can't use cameraDepthTarget on some versions, you have to instead blit to a sub element of the Color target, otherwise it only works in game and not in scene tab. There is no way at all to do it in Metal for 2020/2021, because you can't get the sub element
