@TakashiWIP @dddestroy9ball I like to view both sides as equally flawed, but righteous from their point of view. As was intended, I believe.

@Xathian1 @WBETA_NEXUS Apparently, now there is bevel shader for that. Makes retopo of static objects completely obsolete (it was pointless from the start, too). But there is inertia.
Also, less popular, but for many tasks quadremesher on top of crazy booleans and CAD bevels does the job quite well.

This might be a controversial hot take but I feel the same way about the explosion of use of CAD in the game art industry right now. I've worked with people who swear by it; "It's just so much better and faster to capture specific shapes and boolean workflows" yet every single one of them spends just as long, if not longer, fixing the horrendous CAD-to-subd topology Plasticity outputs than I would just modeling the same thing in Blender.

わざわざAIで出力して1時間調整するくらいなら、
ちゃちゃっとBlenderで5分くらいで作れそうだなと思うのは私だけだろうか…
カフェマス＠XR×VTuber@CafeSingularity
Meshyで生成したモデルをBlenderで1時間ほど調整して約2000ポリゴンに。VRで使うならこんなもんかな。

A few ideas a new rigging tutorial.
Which one would you like to see? 🤔

@nuhre_ The Outer Worlds (2019)~$40 Million~80 people
Avowed (2025) ~$70M-$90 Million ~120 - 150 people
Baldur's Gate 3 (2023) ~$100M – $150M+ ~450+ people
There is also time to develop. And independent vs funded by MSFT.

So the excuse is “romance takes too much time, money, and effort” to include in their RPGs.
Okay… you would think that extra time and effort went into making other aspects of the RPGs exceptional then.
Except Avowed and The Outer Worlds were just… fine?
If anything, both games probably would’ve been more enjoyable with companion romances included. Especially because they keep dancing around the idea anyway. Avowed practically does the “almost romance” thing with Kai and the first Outer Worlds literally had an entire companion questline centered around Parvati’s sexuality and romantic life while the player played third wheel.
And players have been asking for romance options for years.
So at this point it feels less like “we can’t do it” and more like “we don’t think it matters,” despite RPG audiences repeatedly telling them that it absolutely does.

RPG developer Josh Sawyer says Obsidian Entertainment is not against romance systems like the ones in Baldur’s Gate 3. He explained that these features take a huge amount of time, money, and work to create properly. “It’s not like an opposition to their existence,” Sawyer said. “It’s just that I don’t know if we’re going to be able to do it.” Sawyer said romance systems need a lot of extra writing, voice acting, cutscenes, and character reactions. Because of this, Obsidian would rather focus on other parts of a game instead of adding romances that feel incomplete or low quality. He also said players now expect romance content to be as detailed as Baldur’s Gate 3, which raised the standard for RPG games. Sawyer added that Obsidian still cares about emotional stories and character relationships.

@aynekko These are cool shaders, not to deny it, but I am working on some procedural buildings and have a theory that having an actual box behind each window will make no difference whatsoever. I have less buildings and less floors, though.

This is called interior mapping, and I also did that in my #Xash3D engine game. I have tested it as low as Nvidia 8600 GT from 2007 and, surprisingly, this particular setup isn't GPU-heavy at all.

People underestimate the power of shaders! 😎 Most environments look artificial cause the surfaces feel flat and lifeless So, inspired by Forza Horizon, I created this shader to add depth and atmosphere! Completely changing how flat surfaces are perceived Coming soon on Patreon #VRChat #Shader

@MUSTAPHA_SA_ @esonoku I mean... as Altair I would enter combat mode against 20 guys, he would hold his hidden blade behind his back, and seemingly out of nowhere one-shot dudes with what appears like bare hands in a couple of moves. After a few die, others get scared, then break and run away.
English
@megatronoverlo1 @esonoku You know, if you want to be purely an assassin you can be, play stealth and assassinate.
English
You know the game is gonna be shit the moment you as an assassin hit a little boar with your sword and a health bar pops up instead of just dying.

Hunting is back In Black Flag Resynced. AC Shadows did not allow hunting, so I'm super down with this.

@KatDoes3D They actually have nothing. There is no theory. The method is 1) try stuff 2) playtest 3) tune.

@slipgatecentral Look up "houdini project Titan" on YT. There are project files with generators for buildings, cables, platforms, etc.

moved my project to UE and decided to scrap it and start over 😂
needs more chaotic street planning and complex building generator, this one works but everything is squares and rectangles, we can do better 😅 nice little vibecoding experiment tho, 10/10

I'll never get tired of this 😆 @3Dconnexion Spacemouse in Houdini, practicing my virtual drone camerawork. Such a precise and responsive controller. Pursuing the idea of recording camera motion manually instead of using curve paths, makes it imperfect and more real I think

@TimothyEveland You'll need 1500 of these for a movie. So you make them cheap. However, many props studios in Hollywood are actually extremely good at painting and weathering armor. Whoever was behind that Nolan fiasco is an embarassment.
English
History enthusiasts: "Why does Hollywood always make historical armor look like plastic trash?"
Hollywood: "Budget constraints."
Random guy with a 3D printer: "Bruh. No more excuses."
Medieval Diesel@TimothyEveland
Nolan defending the accuracy of Agamemnon’s armor is futile simply because it looks like plastic garbage. It's offensive to even try when thanks to Nico's Printed Antiques we know how real plastic armor can look. This isn't steel. This is 3D-printed armor! #NicosPrintedAntiques

"Artists hate AI because they are gatekeepers"
DUDE all of us learned on free resources and are more than happy to share tutorials. AI doesn't make you creative, it's an illusion sold by billionaires trying to monopolize art and culture while skyrocketing energy and RAM prices.

@lute0829 Why do you want to rob a bank after it was already robbed right before you? Everyone seems to expect the riches to multiply proportionate to the amount of thieves. Consider pearls. Once valuable. Why not mass produce them? Good idea, right? And now the pearls are worthless.

@gameunlocked26 Youngsters these days. Why are they always running around in all of these "gameplay is amazing" videos? Were are 100 guards with one-shot pistols coming from all sides after hearing the sound of a single step? In my days, there was none of that!
