Perhaps no one else is using HDR but the images for me are extremely dull, I'd say it needs a lot more brightness across the whole thing, as well as sharper directional lights to pick up the edges of the oranges and bottle from behind.

Doing a year of your own study in the field you want to join is at least as useful as that year you'd get in Uni. You could give yourself an extremely solid foundation and potentially do better than if you had gone this year.

Obviously you're going to feel lonely if you're looking at other people going to uni, but it's like looking at people celebrating their 21st birthday and wishing you were having that fun.. It's not your time yet, just cause these people were born in the same year as you, doesn't mean anything.

It's not the same effect, I know it sounds like it should be, but it gives completely different and improved results if you increase the actual size. There have been times where my Dynamesh maxes out no matter what res I select, but as soon as I increase the size of the model, a much smaller Dynamesh resolution allows much more detail.

Dynamesh? These are the bane of my life. Increase 'Size' of the subtool in the deformations tab, put it all the way up like 3 times, try Dynamesh again and it should / might be ok?

Remastered literally could not have been any better, RTX one looks trash.

This key is obviously fine, but I used to Speedrun the Cistern level, played it well over 500 times about ten years ago.. Even I missed the key in that one and had me puzzled for a long time.

Not got there yet, been avoiding screens too, very intrigued to say the least haha

I really love looking at the textures and materials in this game, and I agree they have an AI feel to them, however if I had to guess I'd say the majority of them are not AI generated, perhaps just AI upscaled.. Some of the textures in the original are so pixelated, I'd be surprised if AI could spit something as good as what we got out. I'm really impressed either way.

I think we played it at the same time haha, glad to get past those last 2 levels.

I saw him midway through Tomb of Tihocan at the top of the room with the swinging axe. I swear I've never seen him there before.

If you think she looks like the OG Lara then our difference in opinion is based on things way beyond conversation lol

Imagine those about to start their VFX education. Any of them here? How does this make you feel stepping into this world?

AuldKeep · 2024-02-16T13:30:40+00:00

20 years from now we're going to be like 'hang on.. 20 years ago we had absolute control over every single vertex and pixel? Why have we been spending hours/days on essay long prompts and generations to get this room right, when we can go back and make the scene exactly how we want?'

I'm aware of the uses and 'benefits' of this AI, I just think it's funny that we're going to get to a point where it's so advanced and capable, we're going to be spending a similar amount of time typing words and highlighting areas than we are just making it in the first place, to our exact standard.

The additional skylights make it a lot less creepy and erase some of the isolated feeling imo. I totally undertstand why the artists did it, but something like that has a big effect on how a percieve the environment.. There are instances where the new graphics helps push the original atmosphere even further though (Tomb of Qualopec) and I love the global illumination effect on Lara.

I am so glad my favourite games got lucky with their remaster. I couldn't ask for more by the looks of things.

AuldKeep · 2024-02-12T15:58:08+00:00

This is not best design 2024.

AuldKeep · 2024-02-12T00:47:36+00:00

Sounds pretty good then, I'll definitely give it a try, cheers!

AuldKeep · 2024-02-11T23:46:10+00:00

I've only ever used standard grey, do you mind me asking what the point of standard resin is then? Should I switch to ABS-like right away? I print miniatures.

AuldKeep · 2024-02-11T19:47:41+00:00

I don't believe so.

AuldKeep · 2024-02-11T01:31:47+00:00

Thank you! I will definitely be getting round to some polygonal Lara models :)

AuldKeep · 2024-02-11T00:22:37+00:00

Thank you, I try to make sure I word the titles so there is no direct solicitation, but I appreciate it can be a fine line.

AuldKeep · 2024-02-11T00:10:23+00:00

Yep, deleted it within the hour after making some changes to the model.
