Cinematic Chips is now live on FAB, 155 High Poly Nanite Chips & Fries assets for Unreal Engine that look mighty fine (salt not included).
Best results use Path Tracing with Substrate enabled for some great SSS, but they also work in raster.

Since I got a handful of new followers this past couple months I'd like to remind y'all that I made and released an extreme street unicycling video game last summer and that you should play it

Hey Rune!! Thank you so much!! This is 50% complete at best, but was excited to get the base dither pattern and 3D texture sampling working, let my tweeting get ahead of me πŸ˜‚

Next up (as you noted) lighting integration for actual dithering, and then custom dither texture/pattern explorations

Rune is @runevision.bsky.social

Credit for the original technique is entirely his πŸ™ should have included that in the OP, thanks for pointing that out!!

I did not! It's just an implementation of Runes excellent work in Unreal

The burden of validation then falls on you entirely ofc which might be stressful, but if the videos are once a month and you build up a backlog of interesting pitches and devs/teams to reach out to in a spreadsheet, shouldn't be too hard to spread that load potentially??

The Google form idea is solid imo, because its functionally what Informa/GDC does?? (having submitted a couple GDC talks/summits applications last year)

I am still figuring out logistics (and Rami has kindly offered to help a lil!), but I’ve been putting together a means for game devs to present GDC-style β€˜talks’ on @playwatchlisten.bsky.social. When it’s public, devs will be able to submit a topic for consideration, and will be paid for their time!
