After 2 years of chasing the StarCraft: Ghost leak, I’ve lost count of how many times I almost walked away. I’ve scrapped my work and started from scratch more times than I’d like to admit. But persistence pays off. I’ve finally cracked the code on the NOD Engine. #StarCraftGhost

10 iterations later and we have liftoff. Tasked Claude Opus 4.7 with converting the C++ reverse engineered NOD SDK codebase into Blender Plugin. Model, Animation, and Level imports are now fully operational. #StarCraft #Ghost #NODSDK #Nihilistic #Blender #ClaudeCode

@MichalVanka cool stuff! :)

NVIDIA's Kimodo is the release of the week 🔥

Prompt the timeline whatever your want like: "a person walks forward" → "a person starts jumping", hit Generate, and watch a 3D character do it in seconds

(700hrs of pro mocap training. Works on human + robot skeletons. Super fast + free to use on HF)

It's nice to see that OG Dead Space 1, 2, and 3 actually uses RenderWave and EA lib. #renderware #ealib

Doom 3: OpenGL → CUDA path tracer.

Same game data. Same darkness. Now with soft shadows, indirect lighting, and color bleeding.

Gaussian Splatting is REALLY getting crazy 🥹

Arcturus Studios is showcasing their technology which is focused on capturing sports in full volumetric… so you can experience them at any angle

Insane!

I have got too much excited... But at least SH: Downpour its possible to compile under X360 with minor XDK version modification! And Xbox360TOC.txt from retail also passes. Now how to obtain correct VER_LATEST_ENGINE from GlobalShaderCache-Xbox360.bin. HxD help me! :D

[Ondřej Vaňka @aknavj]

I've heard that SH: Downpour has leaked... Well, I managed to get my hands on it and successfully compiled a Win32 build. Funny night indeed!

[Ondřej Vaňka @aknavj]

@leumask__ That would be interesting to get hands-on

[Ondřej Vaňka @aknavj]

We need StarCraft: Ghost 2006 (any build) to be leaked. To see how it progressed when devs were flipped! :) From screenshots, it looks better and interesting.

@jakub_kuznik USA je jako šachy skoro pořád to je bílý proti černému a naopak.

[Ondřej Vaňka @aknavj]

@MrBeastYT Hell yeah!!!

[Ondřej Vaňka @aknavj]

@FilipCieslar @NvidiaANZ Or let's do Aliens vs. Predator 1999 #RTXOn That would be hilarious :)

[Ondřej Vaňka @aknavj]

@hogsy16 Hi take a look here: https://t.co/hXt0nT8nRr

[Ondřej Vaňka @aknavj]

Maybe we can easily reverse engineer StarCraft: Ghost using *.pdb, *.map found in Nihilistic Xbox 2003 Leak. And a big plus is that it is using some iteration of NOD Engine which some of the file structure seems to be documented here: https://t.co/uoUVyJfNWk

Continuing with the comparison of Dead Space 3 Pre-Alpha vs Retail... Lunar Colony 1/2
