@sean_gause @crispytheghoul I can’t emphasis how much having some form of replica of the thing you’re animating helps, I have guns laying around everywhere for this very purpose

@crispytheghoul If you’re looking for feedback - the momentum of releasing the slide wouldn’t tilt it that far forward. It actually tilts the gun upward for a moment until it hits the front, then back down slightly.

Is this a good pistol reload animation ? #blender #gamedev #b3d #godot

@Slinky_Invasion I’m thinking specifically of stuff like paths and roads, anything with directionality that needs to be separate from the rest of the tileable layers. This would be more for converted meshes, but still anything that needs specific directionality.

@mac_shirk Likely not happening for initial release which will be experimental. Is your need to persist converted mesh uvs as is or you would like to author them after the fact? I assume both… If you have usecases in mind feel free to share

Sharing pre-release Mesh Terrain doc Mesh Terrain is our upcoming tech supporting non-uniform res, full 3D and multi-users through non-destructive modifiers workflows and PCG. While experimental, we look forward to feedback and seeing your experiments! dev.epicgames.com/community/lear…

@Slinky_Invasion Good to know, do you think it will support multiple while in experimental, or only expected for full release?

@mac_shirk Single for now

I used IlluGen to create all the texture assets for this effect in #UE5

Nvidia getting rightfully roasted tonight.

@Dispatch_Graph @collinalexbell How is anglescript? I keep hearing about it as an option, but have never seen it used or talked about in the wild.

@collinalexbell Free yourself from these shackles and use AngelScript

I am not touching C++ scripting ever again even with a ten foot pole. fuck that shit

@sampavlovic Leg? More like late and see.

that will cost you an ARM64 and a leg

@J_Lee_Design RE has always had really poor pacing in the second half of its games. The initial areas are always golden

@mac_shirk I can see that, it’s definitely strange pacing wise where something like 7 stays fairly consistent with its horror. Felt like in 9 I was constantly waiting for a scare that didn’t happen

The second half of RE9 is so damn gorgeous oh my GOD

@sean_gause @FPSthetics Thankfully I beat the game with proper FOV before they broke the mod.

@FPSthetics unplayable in first person for me if the FOV can't be adjusted. It's like looking at the game through a tube.

was there a sneaky re9 update? RE Framework is now crashing my game on launch.

JangaFX is giving artists who have lost their jobs free six-month licenses of its #realtime FX tools If you were laid off in #gamedev or #VFX, you can now apply for licenses of #EmberGen, #LiquiGen, #IlluGen and #GeoGen via its new web portal cgchannel.com/2026/03/been-l… @JangaFX

I spent around 65 hours researching, implementing, and writing for my next "Gotta be less than 2ms" newsletter article. In this article I explore Julian Love's famous Diablo 3 VFX talk from GDC 2013. I go over how you can implement the techniques from his talk into a modern engine like Unreal Engine 5 and some of the problems you may face when doing so. I show the process from start to finish on how to recreate some of the FX demos that were shown and provide the IlluGen project files so that you can have source materials to try and replicate the effects for in engine verification purposes. I had a lot of fun investigating this and I certainly learned a lot more than I had anticipated.

Game already has enough whiplash going between Grace and Leon, but this was just over the top dumb

Just got to the motorcycle sequence in RE9 and it has to be one of the dumbest and most tone def things I’ve ever seen in a game. Absolutely horrible sequence that adds no value to an otherwise good game
