@fwbonnie__ @RoytaMustDie It’s a common issue with PS2 ports due to how they tended to use an insane amount of overdraw to create fog / rain effects. Typically Xbox ports suffered similar issues or perf as well

[dekaf @dekaf]

@dallao_porra What's the scale of this? There are some free SSR shaders / scripts you can grab for Unity URP (Reflect - SSR) is one

[dekaf @dekaf]

@rms80 yea I've run into that with Merge Actors. I did not know it could be done standalone though

[dekaf @dekaf]

@rms80 yea, I mean technically could see this being used to create a smaller HLOD of some type - like a single building, so it just gets crunched down to one mat / texture set. Still cool, thank you for sharing the video!

[dekaf @dekaf]

@rms80 that makes sense, was mostly curious as to the mesh reduction differences. On Callisto Protocol we ended up using InstaLOD to bypass the default reduction engine because of the same the headaches we ran into. I can see this being piped in via interchange to work on LOD1+

@HelderHP @Jonathan_Blow We need to go back to the leather suits, buzz cuts and sunglasses era.

@Phantasmerie but ultimately, you have to paint in lighting information to the point where it's not too overpowering and not super repetitive. For a metal pipe, instead of just slapping a metal texture, you'd want a soft highlight in the middle, soft AO on the sides and a tight specular line

[dekaf @dekaf]

@Phantasmerie so ultimately what games did was with vtx paint, or they would create texture variants with baked light. So like MGS would have specific quads with a cast shadow on it. But we're talking like 128x128 textures as a max size. https://t.co/3UeW7ved2v

@PlayStalgiaX Darkwatch retailed for $50

@DannyMacFinn hard to tell based on not knowing what your post material does, but ultimately you'd want to use one of these nodes for more flexibility. Your current blendable location will stomp over any color grading you attempt to do.

[dekaf @dekaf]

@PlayStalgiaX This was one of the first modern AAA titles. If you look at the credits it had over 400 people working on it

[dekaf @dekaf]

@games_inu Looks like it's new to 5.7 - before it was just alt + click on the wire; "Slice graph connections by alt+middle-mouse dragging in the graph editor."

[dekaf @dekaf]

@StormslayerDev @brittlehoellow Game sizes are large due to the sheer amount of assets being used. Nobody has stopped using detail textures, they have just evolved to be even more versatile since we don't use black&white bump maps anymore. Detail normals are very common, so are macro tiles for large surfaces.

[dekaf @dekaf]

@CaptainGPU No, this is absolutely not true. Modern games still use detail textures. There's a lot of value in tiling normals and roughness at varying scales to break up a surface.

[dekaf @dekaf]

@StormslayerDev @brittlehoellow You have no idea what you're talking about.

[dekaf @dekaf]

@digisculp Technically we are still fixing 4.x bugs

[dekaf @dekaf]

@TheStingisBack looks like the window shatters as soon as his arms touch it. Likely was timed to shatter by itself as close as possible since he wasn't moving fast enough to actually break the glass

[dekaf @dekaf]

@riobruto This seems pretty clean and well constructed - what did you not care about?
