@KaiKai2492 Art is heavily affected by technology of the time. In video game's case, that's PBR rendering - very hard to pull off deliberate looks.

I'm actually very tired of Photo-realism. So many games which once had distinctive artstyles now switched up because a lot of people will refuse to try a game if it has an anime/cartoony artstyle. I don't even think they look bad but good lord, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, DMC, Onimusha, Monster Hunter, Stellar Blade, etc. Look at this shit man I want art direction like this back in triple A.

@HorrorUntitled Nice and crunchy, feels like a deliberate style choice now instead of a blurry texture

left - old pallets right - new pallets

@artbyrens You're doing the Lord's work, rooting for you!

still very disappointed it has taken this long to find time and build upon this. still stuck in an endless loop. problem back then was light bakes. ive worked on getting custom lightmaps in, lightdata instancing and custom baker, going to be a good season

@Passer1dae Gonna do one for Unreal?

HTrace: Ambient Occlusion V2 is finally released on the Unity Asset Store and on our Patreon! Nearly a year of research went into this new version, especially in the areas of hardware ray tracing, denoising, and improvements to GTAO tech. We also applied everything we learned during the development of our other assets. And our documentation is better than ever, with visual examples and setup guides: ipgames.gitbook.io/htrace-ao Available for HDRP, URP, or as a bundle: Asset Store -assetstore.unity.com/lists/ambient-… Patreon - patreon.com/c/htrace #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d #raytracing

@myyryasever Dunno, that guy looks more Russian than Texan redneck cowboys on a mobility scooter look American

Tbh people are really underestimating Russian cultural regionalism because I bet you'd never guess that those for ex are ethnic Russians (important to mark that they're not just Russians who adopted traditions of the locals but an actual separate group with differing culture)

@braingrub_ The hand flag should be a hand dunked in blood and placed upon a white canvas

Made my own tierlist

@DS2LightingMod now thats cool

@PS_Leoluch You are employing the principle of rest areas much much better in the metal bits than in the arch below. The grime is also not following gravity. Fix these two and it'll click.

Back to the modeling some gothic stuff. Updated metal arch cover and center element - wasn't happy with initial design. "Almost" done with this area, finally

@Gentle_masc Wow I didn't know Vaseline makes you ripped and transports you into a sunny country

Most men ignore the simplest way to improve their appearance. You only need one product: Vaseline. Here are 7 Vaseline tricks that can transform your look (and your life): 🧵

@DS2LightingMod Ah yea I see, merely commenting on the overall aesthetic. I think when you do such realistic lighting on such outdated and sparse assets it looks a bit weird. Hopefully the modding community runs with it tho and updates the env as well.

@damdeuce It’s not a different mode of lighting, if for eg u keep the path tracer running offline for a few minutes the right image is what will come out eventually

Indirect GI only vs Full PT modes. In Full PT light portals at cave openings become activated, part of importance sampling including local lights. For SHARC Importance sampling is done on all bounces, here you can notice the directionality/shadows from skylighting inside.

@Evanylaaa Three gorgeous specimens

I am the one who made this thing here

@HPotterUniverse The issue is that these are graded for OLED HDR panels and they don't think to do a separate SDR grading despite it looking so bad it's become a meme

Someone brightened a couple of still shots from the Harry Potter TV series trailer. Look how much better it looks with some brightness and color!

@ADHD_Alien Toss your phone and pick up the pen.

I have my writing journal right in front of me and I *want* to write this ADHD comic, but my brain really doesn't want to. What do I do??

@0xluffy ⚠️When you do this, give yourself very concrete end conditions for your metacognitive rewiring. Otherwise you WILL end up with crippling anxiety.

aside from intelligence you can rewire how you think through metacognition. basically thinking about how you think most people react to events blindly and run on autopilot. but you can observe your mind in real time, noticing your own thoughts, questioning your reactions, interrupting your emotional reactions and updating your beliefs when you observe your own thoughts, the region in your brain called anterior prefrontal cortex activates. for self observation. turning it's attention inwards it’s like having a coding agent rewriting it’s own prompt and harnesses

@JoeWilsonEQ1 I never thought to grow my own tileable textures

Does anyone else grow trays of moss? No? Only me? Okay...

@fromsoftserve Those screens make me believe they did tonemapping for HDR and didn't think to do SDR separately

just posted my personal tonemap i use with reshade for crimson desert. nothing too crazy

@Xenoimpulse It's fixable now if you wanna mess with some chemicals

@Ozzny_CS2 4. I stopped playing because it's just not consistent enough to take comp seriously, and they gutted all the casual modes.

3 YEARS AGO TODAY: Counter Strike 2 was announced ‼️ > Rate the current state of the game from 0-10 as well as what you think is missing

@LionHeartz1337 Ppl will spam smokes less by some % at every elo

Its very odd but I also think long term once players adjust habits this update will be pretty "invisible" 90% of the time you never come close to running out of ammo in a round so as long as you dont "cod reload" after 5 shots you shouldnt notice much of a change.
