Dirt5 launch trailer! I made bits of this.

@assembler_bot I prefer the second, pixels are less noisy and placed with more intention.

@techfusionjb @delaigrodela Why would using the cable component result in more draw calls?

마을 스케치 하는 것을 봐달라는것이애오! 게임을 플레이하면서 바로 아트를 그릴 수 있는 전용 툴을 만든것이애오. 아주 편리하다요!! 이름은 LivePainter라고 지었다요. 너무 좋은것이애오😭❤️#indiegame #gamedev #pixelart

@rileyb3d Looks great! How are you doing the dangly bits?

[Richard Heasman @Heasmo]

@delaigrodela Looks great. How have you managed to swap out the cylindrical cable mesh?

[Richard Heasman @Heasmo]

@VincentBcht_3D @trailbotic Very clever! I don't see the kuwahara filter applied to the screenshot though - are you applying it directly within the foliage material or doing it via a post process material and masking out the non-foliage?

[Overdraw Games @OverdrawGames]

I revisited my #UE5 blackhole project recently. Updated the lighting. Before the light was only coming from the photon sphere around the event horizon. Now, in addition to that, I've added light coming from the gas itself, which gives it a much more realistic appearance.

More screenshots in thread.

@EricRetro Love the animated shadow blobs. Any reason why they didn't get the cross hatched treatment?

I am working on new environments for the UNDERKEEP game from Rake In Grass studio. If you like old-school dungeon crawlers, you will love this! And! Demo was released on Steam yesterday evening!

[Richard Heasman @Heasmo]

@EricRetro Love this. Like how you've got dithered pixels at a smaller scale than the regular pixels, there's a thin line between genius and cheating!

Reality is nuts

[Alexey Testov @Biuzer]

I’m using a custom sprite-based lighting system, so I thought—what if I used particles instead of sprites?

Now I just need to figure out why I’d even need that in the game 🤔

🎨 Gaussian Splat rigging opens infinite artistic possibilities!

@theworldlabs @TheoMediaAI

Technical
• GPU compute shader skinning (256 threads)
• Linear Blend Skinning (LBS) with up to 4 bones per splat
• Bind pose capture for accurate deformation
• CommandBuffer synchronization for frame-perfect timing

Why splats are perfect for comic art I think:
Each splat is a volumetric 3D ellipsoid that naturally creates crisp edges and flat color regions—the essence of cel-shading. No complex shader tricks needed. The volumetric representation itself gives you that graphic novel aesthetic.
