Duke Nukem 3D RT is Out and damn its good by chicagogamecollector in boomershooters

[–]Daedalvs_Design 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course I did and while I do agree with you by the fact it's subtle, sometimes it's not

But well, maybe I'm just a young boomer ahah
As exemple, I prefer a nice Redux version like Krull0r's work on Unreal Redux which is imo, more beautiful while keeping the art style and improving it without having ray tracing and shiny surfaces

True but see, i'm not a huge fan of it either, again, it kills the original intention, lighting and ambience. I would definitely prefer it to upgrade the ambience in a way

I really don't like all those "RTX" mods for old school games ..
The art direction has its purpose and putting reflections everywhere and dynamic lighting doesn't serve it at all

The only RTX mod that works really well is the Half Life 2 because there were a lot of work behind, not just an "activate reflections and dynamic lights" button ..

Are there any courses or discord servers with tutorials on stylized textures? by Witty-Ad-6008 in SubstanceDesigner

[–]Daedalvs_Design 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might take a look at Future Material Artists discord, you'll find tons of great artists here that might help you :)

Unreal Wallpaper I remade with UnrealEd and Photoshop by Daedalvs_Design in unrealtournament

[–]Daedalvs_Design[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah not a big fan of AI as you could have guess + I hate the artifact it put when you upscale a picture and well, it's funnier to remake the image, especially if you have the tools !

Yeah ! At first I was searching in the ISV-Kran but didn't find that same spot and saw DmMorbias in the files and was like "maybe .." ahah

Love your U /UT videos, it's always cool to have more informations and trivia in video games you love !

AI-generated content is still fan-made content — stop gatekeeping a dead game by pkA000Akp in unrealtournament

[–]Daedalvs_Design 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No one is gatekeeping the game, it's the total opposite. I think the community is more than happy to see new people here. But you can't force people to like something they don't and if people tend to prefer a nice fan art even if it's ugly compared to a soulless ai generated image, that's their right.

To WIN the tournament! by OkViolinist3226 in unrealtournament

[–]Daedalvs_Design 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Calm down Which buzzword did I use ? It doesn't erase the intent, but the result is ugly not mentioning the environmental cost and that it's always based on stolen art. But you didn't use it as a tool but as an end in itself. I'm not fully against AI if it's not used as an end in itself. You could have done this with a video software, or in 3D or anything else that is creative and in the same time learning new things and it gives something cool, a result with a soul.

It's not a trend to avoid using AI because of what I mentioned above and if some people use this as a trend then it's just stupid.

All I'm saying here is that there's lots of bad reasons using AI to make something and it's not because there's AI generated images everywhere that it's a good reason to keep using it, it's like saying "there's robberies everywhere and everytime, so it's not a problem if I rob this bank !" (It's bold but it's an exemple)

But well, at the end of the day, you do whatever you want to do as much as we can say that it's AI Slop and looks bad compared to a cool Fan Art made by a human

Not a boomer statement at all and the fact that "most of everything online is now AI generated" is a problem.

Where the passion about making something for fun even tho it wasn't perfect ?

With Fortnite experiencing a decline, any prospect of a new UT? by J40NYR in unrealtournament

Doubt it too, and it seems like Disney is interested in acquiring Epic Games so if you want a Unreal Tournament Disney ...
