??? what did he do with the rest? 😭

GI is stored in balls

wee woo wee woo sir do you have any idea how fast you were global illuminating

testing HDDAGI and I'm actually shocked with how well it runs for how good it looks WTF HELLO??

007 first light seems to be doing something similar. The 3 light patterns are angled and don't affect the decorative frame, only the wall behind it. could be an alpha card the actual light source is a spotlight that's facing the objects in front and has a colder color

counterpoint: I read that checkmate garry

thanks proton

Did you know? When buying a AAA game it's important to check the quality of the game by counting the amount of streaks from the lights. Current generation of AAA games emits *at least* 8 streaks per light. If your copy of a AAA game has less streaks you may be eligible for a refund

Texturing in blender is back

hope godot 4.8 merges specular lightmaps because holy shit

Epic has announced Unreal Engine 6. It's a 20% bigger number than 5, making it the biggest number they have ever announced. Unfortunately it fell short of the last major update (4 to 5), which was a whopping 25% increase.

when somebody makes a hammer-like level editor for godot asset store

LFG

lowkey onto something here now

but also depth buffer emission

depth buffer collision

Blender 5.2 will introduce remote asset libraries with granular per-asset downloads that anyone can host. This is HUGE

There's a godot PR that will give you nearly unlimited shader customizability at high maintenance cost. It will allow you to implement a lot of new effects that godot can't do now and fix a lot of current rendering problems without a need to fork the engine It will be a very important PR for godot

you can use emissive decals for very cheap fake lights

before plugging it into decals I was just trying to make some normal-mapped smoke cards this is inspired by the convenience of godot's built-in image generators like noises and gradients

searching for the least insane pbr wear decal workflow in godot. subclassing the decal class with custom procedural pbr map generators is probably it

@adriaan.games has been cooking a better godot runbar: - cleaner ui by default - custom run presets for different scenes and run params (buttons in the optional right panel) - includes embedding options that were previously separate

maybe it's time for a UI for creating custom menus in blender now that 5.1 assigns operator names to node tools

alright lets see what nvidia is up to

should I work on godot or should I make a game in it

EVERYBODY STAY CALM! we have realtime area lights in godot, I REPEAT, AREA LIGHTS IN GODOT, this is not a drill 🚨 🗣️

they what???

well

Recently I got invited to join the new Godot UX team. When I have time I will be helping testing editor PRs and make Godot more usable for everyone. What are some of the most annoying things about Godot UI/UX that you think need attention?

a tree

we're now at a point where we compare chips 5 generations apart in press releases

surprised people bring up the ease of reverse-engineering of godot games as a drawback over unity when it's the same in both

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 ✨
