@Victor_Lucas It's abandoning a core part of the gaming culture. Even for people who are primarily digital, physical media is an important pillar that benefits everyone in the space.

@DT2ComicsChat I feel like I'm the only person who thought Superman Returns was pretty good.

[Chad Emond @chad_emond]

@TheCartelDel Absolutely. It's short-sighted. Even if physical media is a smaller part of the user-base, it's part of the CULTURE and that has larger effects on the industry a as a whole they aren't accounting for.

@Snefer Looking incredible @Snefer! Great work by the team.

[Chad Emond @chad_emond]

@henningsanden Any Hanz Zimmer compliation.

@RogelioD @TheCartelDel You also then need to pay for an AI model to hook into the MCP server, at least my understanding. As opposed to blueprints just being free and integrated.

[Chad Emond @chad_emond]

@RogelioD @TheCartelDel And then not know how to fix it when the AI hallucinates something that doesn't work...

After 3 years at Compulsion Games, I'm looking for my next adventure. Working at Compulsion has been a highlight of my career and I'm so incredibly grateful for the people I was able to work with and the projects we were able to bring to life.

@TheCartelDel Jet Li + Papa Roach, what more can you ask for? Those were the simpler days.

@digisculp @marmosetco I wasn't but now I can't look away.

[Chad Emond @chad_emond]

@henningsanden I remember a video from @ryankingslien years ago talking about how you need to get through "The Valley of the suck", and it's always stuck with me and it's something I tell my students. Sometimes you just need to trust the process.

[Chad Emond @chad_emond]

@henningsanden Every studio I've worked at was primarily Maya/Max, but I've seen Blender used more often the last few years. That being said, many times tools/pipelines still required Maya/Max.

[Chad Emond @chad_emond]

@TheCartelDel See you at the gym Mario.

[Chad Emond @chad_emond]

@mattiaslind93 There's also value in showing not only that you can bring an asset into unreal, but you know how to create shaders, materials, light a character properly etc...

[Chad Emond @chad_emond]

@mattiaslind93 I think it definitely has value if you want to work in the game industry. Showing proficiency with one of the most widely used engines has value at a base level. However if you're just interested in offline rendering, Blender probably has you covered.

[Chad Emond @chad_emond]

@henningsanden To add on to hard soft edges, not setting up your UV seams appropriately is a common issue I see. As in having a hard edge without a UV seam break. Could also add not hiding seams in natural seams like in clothing.

[Chad Emond @chad_emond]

@digisculp How do you remake perfection?
