The big items:
* Indirect Draw (GPU driven rasterization)
* AMD FFX Upscaling /Frame Generation
* Variable aliases for shaders (~push constants)

If you want to play around with the FSR stuff, there's a "AMD FSR" technique in the Gigi Browser.

Well under way! This cue is SUPER old, like from 2005, so I don't have the original session. I'm having to recreate every synth part by ear, but I'll take some liberties here and there.

I havenโ€™t done much 3D art or game dev in months. Iโ€™ve basically given up. Maybe some day Iโ€™ll get back, but Iโ€™ve fallen out of love with it all, as a tech artist and just in 3D Art. Iโ€™ve given up trying to get into it career-wise. Iโ€™m sorry if itโ€™s a let-down, for everyone who believed in me.

The environment detail in the new Elder Scrolls: Oblivion remake is completely astounding. If only the customized characters shared this trait in common >_>;

Interleaved Gradient Noise: A Different Kind of Low Discrepancy Sequence The python code that goes along with this post can be found at In 2014, Jorge Jimenez from Activision presented a type of noise optimized for use with Temporal Anti Aliasing called Interleaved Gradโ€ฆ

I'm far from my blog's hay day, which largely comes from me not writing as much as I used to, but the most popular article of mine in the traffic that I do get is about interleaved gradient noise as a different type of low discrepancy object.
Glad to see it!

The PCG Pathfinding node lets you automatically clear foliage between locations. In this case I'm tracing a path between the front door and the nearest road and clearing any grass or debris between them! #UETips

One of my favourite things to do when making a landscape is to run a Brush Stroke mask texture into a Height Lerp for the blend. This means that the blend will look like each layer is painted into the landscape instead of just linearly interpolated. Takes 30s and adds a lot to the scene! #UETips
