I guess it's time to update my pinned post.
Hi, I'm Mr F.

I work on Bakery, the GPU lightmapper: https://t.co/7Egmju0kvz

I also work on Faded, my game: https://t.co/pYsCMPzLH9

@SebAaltonen @kechogarcia I wonder how much data do you really need for it to find bugs and don't do much else. Feels like even just the knowledge of programming languages + human languages (variable naming) alone could already get it far for code logic analysis.

[Mr F @guycalledfrank]

@CodyBennett @mrmaxm These models live in a world of pure logic, probability and textual symbols, they can't "see", they can only measure/compare/predict data. Even when analyzing visuals, they have to use another NN to convert it to something word-like, and it's very different from human vision.

[Mr F @guycalledfrank]

@adc_bx I did similar curbs but they inflicted so much pain on me over the years, at least if you try it on a very large scale. Lots of curbs = lots of draws and geometry, so ideally you need to draw these with instancing (combined meshes waste too much mem) and also LOD whole chunks...

[Mr F @guycalledfrank]

@MyroDev (DMs are ok)

[Mr F @guycalledfrank]

@MyroDev halffloat2hdr uses DirectXTex to save both .hdr/.exr. It doesn't convert .hdr to .exr, it stores raw input data to .exr straight. Maybe DXTex encoder isn't great... but how was your custom fix doing it?

[Mr F @guycalledfrank]

@sampavlovic Looks awesome!

Suslik (Alexander Sannikov) is presenting some advances in radiance cascades (at 04:16:10)

[Mr F @guycalledfrank]

@MyroDev @u_Kotovsky Ah, damn, that's right. I have another method that reads directly from the temp folder, but it wasn't used there.

Anyway, please try patching! Option for EXR is there now.

[Mr F @guycalledfrank]

@u_Kotovsky @MyroDev You can also choose to save to Unity's own .asset format in project settings (which is raw BC6h or uncompressed data)

[Mr F @guycalledfrank]

@u_Kotovsky @MyroDev I have an exr version but didn't publish it. Will do today 😂

[Mr F @guycalledfrank]

@CallOfSaregnar Funny how your game was looking more like Daggerfall with HD textures when I started following and now it grew to a level of pixelated KCD almost 😅

[Mr F @guycalledfrank]

@NaukaNauki Oh yeah I invented many more headaches 😂

[Mr F @guycalledfrank]

@GustawMackay Same shit, I started getting spammed by these too around last month. It wasn't like that recently... and it's not better on bsky either :(

[Mr F @guycalledfrank]

@GustawMackay I suspected that, but also those are just common words ("Ice-cream master") and it reads funny, like "Iccream maser", somewhat has this gibberish vibe when you ask image AI to generate text

[Mr F @guycalledfrank]

@vassvik Simulation aside, the shading is quite amazing!

[Mr F @guycalledfrank]

@sweenus987 @quinnfiddy No, the old docs stretch more horizontally and the new ones are always in a narrower column.

[Mr F @guycalledfrank]

Lol, did Unity vibecode the new docs? What's even this formatting? Giant header with no argument names, a smaller header, still without them, then a code block that looks like it's supposed to be an example, but it's just the function, at least with arg names this time…

[Mr F @guycalledfrank]

@quinnfiddy Yeah, except they already had much more (imho) readable docs before
