Cairn - Technical Breakdown - Rock Rendering, Anthony Beyer I was lucky to work on Cairn as Technical Art Director, and now that the game has been released, I thought it might be interesting to share some of its "development secrets". At the beginning, i want...

Havok for Unreal support for Unreal 5.7.3 was released on Tuesday 17th Feb, following the release of the Unreal hotfix on 10th Feb.
This update is fully supported and ready for customers to upgrade.

Easy to pick up but hard to master! Check out our latest dev update and follow for more.

We’re dismantling a stone pencheck stair right now and so it seems a good time to revisit a short 🧵 on the subject.

How pencheck stairs work (resist torsion), and how they don’t (cantilever):

It’s on my list too 🙄 but I think either you do it with 1 particle per blade just for placement, and it‘s not much different than what you have now, or a ribbon per blade, and you might need particle constraints, which are not implemented. Unless your blade motion is not simulated but procedural.

tried to make a soap bubble shader (in bevy)

Now do the same thing with particles! 😉

the principles are similar just different software
basically distance field texture then animate in a shader

Some character designs/sculpts from *checks watch* 15 years ago?!?!? These were heavily influenced by animation maquettes by Kent Melton (RIP) and Team Fortress 2.

My thought too, it’s a bit immersion breaking. Even if I instinctively dissociate the car in the menu from the one in the world when the menu opens (even though there‘s no reason to), when it closes it breaks that dissociation and highlights that the car in the world was being rotated.

I was noodling away on prototyping an opalescent
glass material in #Toolbag for a 1930s Art Deco style perfume case. I'm trying out a specular reflectance workflow to add that soft iridescent, thin-film shimmer. Still plenty of modelling left, but I'm happy with the direction the look is going in

Everything you see is procedural, not scaled instances like #bulwark , nope that's meshdata , appended, deformed , mirrored and rewound.

Nautical clay to mold into your own Bulbous Battle Boat.

A timeline visually representing the advice from my post, emphasising how dramatically and reliably having more time, with a testable build, converts to your game being better and your studio being safer.

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

Strangest issue I've encountered in the wild when fuzzing: `vaddps xmm0,xmm0,xmm1` and `vaddps xmm0,xmm1,xmm0` are *not* the same on x86 when it comes to which NaN payload it chooses. But LLVM will reorder the arguments anyway!

Lesson learned: always canonicalize your NaNs when fuzzing.

Please, if you like Star Wars, especially the original trilogy, if you have Xbox Game Pass, don't miss Star Wars: Outlaws.

I had a great time exploring Tatooine, Kijimi, and other nice planets with my speeder, even though my Trailblazer remains my favorite vehicle. And the characters are nice. 🖖

Nice to have that view at least. RenderDoc saved me more than once, it’s really critical to debug some shaders.

What’s the View Mesh button under "Shader Module 311"? (genuinely asking, I’ve never tried RenderDoc with a mesh shader)
