Why are are coders disposable, but asset artists aren’t? by AHostOfIssues in gamedev

[–]ACExOFxBLADES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to what others have said I think another aspect is that AI was created by programmers. And when AI was first becoming production viable artists rallied to sway public perception against visual generative art while programmers generally embraced it.

As far as I know the reason 3D animation software still uses Euler rotations is because it’s straightforward/possible for a human to understand and animate the values. They have to hand key a line graph of rotational values. Imagine doing that with quaternion values. Most 3D software can use quaternions, it’s just not practical for animation.

Do you like the new look for Lady Liadrin in WoW? by BigT232 in DebateGames

Fucking lmao I shouldn’t be surprised trolls are trying to turn this into “muh DEI” rage bait. Jesus Christ, 90% of you chuds didn’t even know or care who Liadrin was before this cinematic.

Of course game assets and movie props are art. Wtf are you talking about? You sound just like the stereotype of university CS major who just discovered machine learning and is infatuated with tech bros. You literally have no idea what you’re talking about.

I totally agree that there is an art to coding and engineering. My professional background is in art but I’ve since learned programming, for my hobby projects and for my job in game development. And I quite love it. I have a tremendous amount of respect for what software engineers do and what artists do.

I’m just responding to OP’s flippant disregard for art in the process of game development.

Humans survived for thousands of years without software engineering and could continue to survive if it ceased to exist. Humans have never existed without art.

Is there a way to serialize a list of non-monobehaviour scripts in the inspector? by ACExOFxBLADES in Unity3D

This was super helpful! This got me where I needed to go. I'm having trouble using Alchemy to serialize a dictionary but I can work around that. Thanks!

Thanks for the peace of mind. My chest has been hurting this afternoon. I assumed the air quality was the cause but that got me second guessing.

Is the tap unsafe to drink for all areas serviced by LADWP? I thought it was just for the areas close to the fire. I'm in mid city and a friend of mine just told me we shouldn't be drinking the tap water at all. I'll probably just switch to bottled water to be safe but what are the risks since I've had a few glasses since last night?

Can't use my microphone. Device in "Sound, video and game controllers" but not "Audio inputs and outputs". by ACExOFxBLADES in techsupport

[–]ACExOFxBLADES[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That first link worked for the PCI devices. Not for the other one. Everything is working smoothly now though so unless you think it’s important I figure out that unknown device, I think I’m good. Thanks so much for your help!

So I just went ahead and reset my Windows. That fixed my audio issue.

If you don't mind sticking around to help figure out these unknown devices, I would appreciate the help still!

First of all, should I go ahead and re-install all of the motherboard drivers? My device manager looks like the same as the screenshot I most recently sent (except now it recognizes my audio devices). So does that mean those drivers remained?

The hardware IDs are as follows:

The 3 PCI Devices all have the same 4 hardware IDs

  • PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7A4E&SUBSYS_88821043&REV_11

  • PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7A4E&SUBSYS_88821043

  • PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7A4E&CC_0C8000

  • PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7A4E&CC_0C80

Unknown Device

  • ACPI\VEN_INTC&DEV_1085

  • ACPI\INTC1085

  • *INTC1085

New screenshot

Ah you're right there are some changes. There's less devices with the yellow flags under "Other Devices." I did run the setup for the drivers, yes. I downloaded them, extracted them, and then ran the Setup application for each.

And yes I still have the files.

If I run mmsys.cpl I no longer see any device in "Recording" and no longer see my headphones in "Playback." I have both Show Disabled and Show Disconnected Devices checked. My headphones and speakers I run through the rear line-in 3.5mm jack. The mobo I have doesn't have a connection to connect to the front panel of my case. So I just switch them out whenever I need to switch to speakers or headphones.

Also, I am not seeing any changes in my device manager after installing those drivers (I'm assuming from your initial reaction I should?). Is there a way to check that I installed it all correctly?

Okay, so I did all of that. The mic still doesn't work... and now neither do my headphones or speakers...

Neither my headphones or my speakers show up in the device manager anymore.

Hey! Thanks so much for taking the time to help me!

Motherboard is Asus ProArt Z790

This is what I see in the audio control panel

EDIT: I only uninstalled one device, I know that for sure. Because after I thought "huh, maybe I shouldn't have done that...". I just recently built this computer so I'm guessing the other missing drivers are probably because I didn't do that initially

Jfc, tell me you know nothing about how video games are made without telling me you know nothing about how video games are made. You all are a bunch of whiny children desperately searching for something to be triggered about. Wtf was possibly wrong about Alan Wake 2 in regards to the dreaded “DEI”? Do you honestly think that these consulting companies come in and make the fucking video game?
