@ValigurskyM @playcanvas Clever idea! I wonder how big the texture size is.

[Martin Valigursky @ValigurskyM]

Vertex Animation Textures, now an example in @playcanvas 🧵

Rather than animate a skeleton per character, we bake every vertex position and normal into a texture and let the vertex shader interpolate between frames.

10,000 characters. One instanced draw call.

I wonder why everyone is building their own game engine nowadays?

A. 100GB engine is too much make a cube.

B. The license started feeling a like a horror game with surprise twist.

C. You accidentally joined a philosophical movement, by using the engine.

D. All of the above.

[XBOX Game Dev @XBOXGameDev]

🌟 XBOX Godot Sample - now available as a public, source-only reference on @github

We’re making it easier to build for XBOX on PC with @godotengine. Check out our new sample that helps you integrate Microsoft GDK, XBOX Services, and PlayFab directly into Godot, with reusable code and modular samples that help make your development path shorter, smoother, and more open.

Check out this cinematic FullDome 8K render created in Unreal Engine by Ivan Elizarov using Camera Render Studio and the Cinematic Earth asset by HuguesCG. The domed presentation format is intended for use cases like Planetariums, immersive theatres and more🌎

"In this render, I wanted to demonstrate how a detailed planetary environment can look when presented in the FullDome format. Instead of viewing the scene on a conventional flat screen, the image is designed to surround the audience across the dome surface, creating a greater sense of scale, depth, and immersion" - Ivan Elizarov

In case you are wondering, Apple Silicon is a beast for game physics.

[Erin Catto @erin_catto]

I’m happy to announce the release of a new open source 3D physics engine called Box3D. I’ve been working on this project for a few years now, but it represents over 20 years of experience writing physics engines for games. Read more here: https://t.co/2d9aVuUsxj
