Thank you for all the support!!! 🥰 The builds are public now! Release Notes and links: github.com/bnpr/Malt/disc… #malt3d #bnpr #b3d

@SebAaltonen What catches my eye the most atm are the normal maps. I believe the Y axes are flipped. Look at that wall on the right.

The image looks otherwise pretty good but the area marked with red outline looks like shit. This is because we don't have no baked lighting, no realtime GI and no approximation for large scale AO / sky visibility. GTAO (screen space) only gives us high frequency occlusion...

@voxagonlabs An entity id index can just be an index into a big entity info array, where the info points to its archetype and its index inside the archetype components arrays. So the overhead for arbitrary entity/component lookups doesn't have to be too bad.

@voxagonlabs If you defer entity and component creation/deletion until a fixed point of the frame, you can still use temporary raw pointers, though.

I got several requests for a blog post about my thoughts on ECS, so here it is! This is an area that interests me, so I'd be very curious to hear your opinions on the topic, so please comment and share your thoughts! blog.voxagon.se/2025/03/28/tho…

@ashlee3dee Awesome! Don't hesitate to share your feedback on the Devtalk thread. :)

here's something we managed to slip in in time for blender 4.3! this should be very useful for people using eevee for NPR in the future :3

@jwtstone For temporal stability, I think in general it's best to drive line width by parameters that are temporally stable in the first place. (Object/UV space textures, vertex colors, crease angle...)

@jwtstone From a software perspective, I think it's best to just expose relevant parameters and let artists use them however they want. My old proposal for a Blender NPR engine showed some examples of this workflow (Malt also works this way): #line-rendering" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">gist.github.com/pragma37/9970a…

How should curve change its width/color in animations? Drawings/Manga use heavily stylized lines a lot, while most anime avoid this to reduce the work. I've been thinking for years, but still confused... I could match/track the curves, but how to make it visually appealing?

@rittzler Sure, in theory, there’s no reason why a game like this shouldn’t fly on any potato, but in practice you already did a better job at optimization than most games. 👍

@rittzler I played the whole thing at a locked 60fps on a cheap Rizen 3 laptop with integrated graphics, where even 2d games tend to struggle.

shoutouts to the people who are always like "why does an n64 lookin ass game run like shit on my pc" i hear you. i really do. unfortunately i am a dumb motherfucker. i am a caveman banging together my vector rocks to make my enum hut. just refund it brother, i am sorry
