btw you can hold ctrl+shift to select in intersection mode in blender it can be used to make selections that are inconvenient to make otherwise, i.e a part of a submesh that touches another submesh:

omnistep now has built-in goofy ahh head bobbing, third person mode and customizable "Done" key which I bound to left mouse button because it's convenient to be able to quickly jump in and out of walk mode

best blender addon after ucupaint

there's a pr to make godot output buttons horizontal which I think looks a fair bit better than the current sidebar thing

working on adding baked ao settings to godot lightmaps to allow you to overdarken corners for ✨ DRAMA ✨

Godot proposals viewer got an update, it now shows new and hot proposals by default godot-proposals-viewer.github.io

computers are cool

Been trying to test how far I can push godot performance if I disable most rendering features, this runs 3456x2234 @ ~400fps on a 2021 laptop. Surprisingly SSAO fits into this. Games are blurry and slow now so I've been getting mesmerized with how well minecraft runs at native 4k (also ~400fps).

another example of ssr in godot 4.6

I sometimes forget that things I make on my computer can have an effect on the real world, seeing the godot theme I made on other people's screens makes me go "wait REAL PEOPLE actually use it now??". internet is a weird thing

Godot represents the future where the engine belongs to you and you're free to do whatever you want in the most exciting creative medium to have ever existed in the history of humanity

lowkey it's very cool that godot lets you mess with transform matrices right from inspector it helps a lot to have an intuitive understanding of how they work in gamedev especially when making shaders

😂

making dense grass out of sparse grass with indirect drawing

Best thing about godot is that even if something sucks it's never GG. There are lowlevel apis for everything and you can always change the source code You may not at the time have the skills or resources to do that, but the fact that no problem is unsolvable makes all the difference in the long run

stress test 200k grass particles in godot. everything is on gpu and I want to try spawning grass around player on gpu too

I was todays years old when I learned that in godot if you make a category with a name that has a matching editor icon the inspector will use that icon for the category

most of the time when I get stuck on something not working when programming it's not because of bugs but because of some stupid ass shit like I forgot to reload an addon or I was testing a wrong git branch 😂

thanks to the advances in computer technology we can now TOUCH GRASS! 🌿😩

Thank you all for making Godot possible! It's incredibly hard to make a public general-purpose game engine. A project of this scale is only possible due to contributors putting in countless hours and to people supporting it and making games with it! Thank you for making gamedev open-source ❤️

ok when were yall gonna tell me that I can make custom collection exporters hello WTF???

just some grass with scrolling noise and trampling

btw I recently discovered that the new godot theme looks nice with the built-in "Breeze Dark" color preset

when you ask me about my gdscript code

It's crazy that I entirely missed the first 48 games! 😭😭😭

trying to draw file dependency graphs in godot to be able to see what's referencing what. double clicking nodes redraws graph from them, allowing to navigate around the project

Boring janitorial work but unavoidable Made dependency viewer show arrows for out of folder textures (will turn pink if blend file is moved), icons for packed ones, a list of unpacked ones on disk that arent used by this blend anymore All needed to work with a lot of materials, otherwise chaos

Made a video on VFX in Godot 🔥✨ youtu.be/htRjt505sPg

i'm having a user experience rn

it is GG

ssr demo for godot release page

Currently working on SSR demo for 4.6 release page. If you look closely at the water surface you may notice that it looks better with SSR than without it! 🤗

godot 4.6 new theme pic for release page

for the past few weeks I've been helping to iron out the new UI theme and together with Yeldham we managed to get it to a pretty good state! Pls give it a test and lmk what you think!

wait I forgot we got actual working SSR in godot this time, that should come in handy

some height ramp paint with ucupaint

Today I learned you can keep project-specific Blender export addons in your Godot game repo and just load them directly in Blender by adding a path 🤷

the absolute dreamlike vibe of far cry 5 tho

godot in your prius soon confirmed

you're not gonna believe it 🤯

you can make and bake procedural decal trims with ucupaint

another blender mapping tip - the quickest vanilla way to call Follow Active Quads is Right Click + F in the UV panel. it lets you continue a tiling texture from active face to newly extruded walls if the active face is not a rectangle just make it into one by running Unwrap on it first
