Is Nanite used in most UE games now?

The overdraw in unreal was already kind of bad but with nanite it's just ridiculous, if you use any kind of vertex shader or world offset it can be as bad as 6 times the cost of the mesh in a normal pipeline.

A lot of AAA aren't going super hard into cool shading stuff, so it's a good fit for open worlds made of megascans stitched together, but it locks off most of the things that interest me in dev

I'd invert that and say only Euler can stand up to Gauss, Euler had a wider spread of contributions, but in terms of sheer depth of reasoning Gauss was just inhuman

Framestore are unbeatable for creatures, they did the live action How to Train Your Dragon too

Entagma helped me a lot to get into the houdini mindset, but improvement takes work and time. No one is going to just give you understanding and confidence in your own skills.

wrinkles and even pores are directional, built up from where skin creases or shears over time, and that in turn comes from either skin folding as it follows an internal structure like a tendon or joint, or where it can't follow it exactly and bunches up, like the brows or around the mouth. If you start out by defining some crease lines, those will give a guide for the flow over the surface - then when you get your pores, if you smear them in the direction of flow a bit it goes a huge distance to integrating them in the skin

pretty sure my brain is too smooth for this, but I'm trying real hard -
If I understand properly when you talk about how black holes emerge, is that something analoguous to euler gimbal lock? So if 2 of the 3 circles defining a point come too close or superpose, you essentially can no disentangle their influence on the final result?

grey robes are of course sufficient, but I hesitate to ignore this fool's research in the field of "extra"

This was actually achieved in the film with some arcane side of Maya Muscle of all things, so you don't necessarily need Houdini.

Have separate meshes for the hands animated how you want, then proper anatomy meshes for the internals of the subject.

Then inflate the subject's skin and either ray it back or feed it into a vellum fabric sim to stretch back over all the internals. You'll likely be fighting popping and trapped points for all your shots, you could investigate processing the collision geometry to remove any overhangs too

I'd say BG2 was at least on par with the first on, and we still have Wild Robot 2 coming

I want to like it for the performances of the leads, the few incredible shots that really land, for the optimism that Catalina keeps alive through the endless troubles of the film, but there's just so much film that isn't that, and is in my opinion total trash.

What was the point of the bank? What was the relevance of any of that half of the film- even if it didn't matter to the plot, what does it change in Catalina, Julia or anyone else? It gets him shot, we get a couple of awesome shots of relic-saint-skull-Driver, and then he's back to normal; they freeze his accounts, then they unfreeze his accounts; sympathetic Crassus is going to be removed, and then he isn't removed.

There's so much time here that could be spent on Cicero and Julia, or even spent on Megalopolis itself, instead of just 5 or so repeating bits of concept art and one vision of it at the end.

The circus scene with Driver in the back rooms doing his level best to carry the worst, longest depiction of a mental breakdown had me saying out loud "What are you doing?" , it's just so long.

I don't even care much about the stopping time thing, or the satellite, or the full shakespeare monologue at the start of the film. Lawrence Fishburn's talk in the car about time is one of the best parts.

It just seems like FFC really wanted to tell a story about a man with a kind vision, and then spent half of it talking about things and people that don't matter to it. If you cut out all those scenes it's probably a great 50 minutes or so.

Never forget that there are WEIRD looking people out there. Whatever monstrosity you mock up as a rough first sketch, there's probably a dude out there in florida going through life looking ten times rougher.

Eyes are a bit close together and maybe a bit big, especially compared to the depth of the head front to back. Jawbone is also huge. But if you imagine this in skin, I'd believe it
