@DecimalCubed With the dynamic solution can you not simply use one mesh (instead of 2), and in the shader remove backface culling and treat the backface differently ?

@ItsPolyCube Have no idea what's going on but it's juicy af 👌

@seven_teenth Thought it was a Pacific Drive screenshot for a moment there

Now the for the exterior

@HakanssonAugust Can't wait to explore the world you've created. A Simon Stålenhag fan by any chance ? The aesthetics have been a big influence for my own game.

working on some low poly 80's industrial props, any ideas as to what I could add ? #blender

@cube_1224fk Oh a fax machine of course! Totally forgot those were a thing 😅 thanks for the suggestions

[Sam @_saminton]

@libbypeteanim @igdmag This actually seems like a really cool workflow. But the whole point of using Godot is that I can avoid having a massive piece of software that will take up all my disk space 😅. If I'm going to install Unreal I may as well use it for creating the entire game.

@KenneyNL @Steve86094 And this is the reason why it's so rare, there's always that one tool or plugin. Ultimately you're in the same boat as all the rest, trackers cookies and all 😬

@FR3NKD I only tried with Bazzite as it was marketed as a gaming alternative to windows and thought it would be an easy setup. I daily drive a mac for work. It does kinda feel like a roulette when starting out, so many distros and things that can go wrong without understanding why.

[Sam @_saminton]

@FR3NKD And even once it's installed it's not guaranteed that all work correctly. No matter what I tried I couldn't get my graphics card to output a display, would only output through the motherboard. Also ended up giving up.

@thomasbrushdev With 4k I'd say there are 2 sorts of people:
1. gamers that specifically bought a 4k monitor to get the most out of their games
2. people that have 4k screens for other purposes (design, video work etc) and happen to play games on them.
The former will want to play full res

[Sam @_saminton]

@thomasbrushdev I agree 4k is a bit more nuanced. It's not something me or my friends own so I can't really say. However 1440p monitors (what I own) are common and unlike 4k they have a similar PPI to 1080p screens. Where anything other than native resolution becomes a blurry mess.
