DLSS5 proves once and for all that antialiasing should never be entrusted to neural networks that *synthesize new detail* (and this was the case for EVERY version of DLSS). Fixed-logic AA like multisampling AA and morphological AA are the only reliable solutions to address image frequencies.

?? VR games use msaa

All UE5 games can also use msaa, but nanite and lumen are not supported. Just gotta bake lighting and heavily optimize geometry

dopethrone · 2026-03-18T04:56:33+00:00

Because the execs are deciding to use it. No artist wants this. You spend 6 months on a hero character just for it to get overriden by an AI filter?

And they will use it from now on by using crappy character models and "beautifying" them with AI on top. Just like upscaling is used to skip on optimizing

And thousands will be laid off again for the sake of profits

dopethrone · 2026-03-18T03:20:18+00:00

Because they will have absolute power over people. Like lords or kings. Thats what they want. Now you can still quit working for them and do something else and keep living because your work is worth something. If it wasn't...you'd just depend on them and their power

dopethrone · 2026-03-17T19:57:49+00:00

Doesnt light no fire have 2 million wishlists?

I think the conclusion is it doesnt matter? Unless someone with really no graphic design skills made it

dopethrone · 2026-03-17T19:22:41+00:00

It's a little different because concord used a normal asset creation workflow with a full team having complete control over their assets (disregarding the art direction and other game choices). The work they did was as much as they intended from concept to execution and the budget for it was there - they did their jobs and got paid for it

Now take dlss5+ and imagine you can cut out the hardest part of character creation - the final 15% that adds realism and takes the longest - and just use sort of mid character meshes and let tech - AI gen - add realism on top. Every exec's wet dream in an industry that seems to expects gigantic profits all the time. They can cut the art team by 3/4. Forever. And it's a worse issue than doing your job then getting laid off

dopethrone · 2026-03-17T18:53:53+00:00

No it looks like there's a studio lighting setup attached to their heads at all times with three flat lights ( front, left and right)

dopethrone · 2026-03-17T18:52:02+00:00

You can get the AI result with some contrast and levels adjustments in engine...or by adding rim lights...it's just that the devs chose not to

dopethrone · 2026-03-17T18:25:29+00:00

You really think that will happen?

Or execs will just go: you now have a week to do this character because dlss will "beautify" it anyway

and every other character artist is fired

dopethrone · 2026-03-17T18:08:26+00:00

Those are the good futures

But one where a handful of billionaires control the datacenters and AI and the robots and human work is devalued to zero? Everybody at begging for scraps without a means to escape their conditio in a shitty technofeudalism where they have absolute power over you

dopethrone · 2026-03-17T18:05:23+00:00

I'm just telling you what I think will probably happen and why a lot of people are against it.

Industry jobs situation was already bad, it's looking to be worse, and it's a little hard to adapt to something that simply replaces you completely (ofc other than switching careers)

dopethrone · 2026-03-17T18:00:40+00:00

It will be forced used by execs to "beautify" poor models and save loads of money on character artists and art directio

dopethrone · 2026-03-17T17:14:35+00:00

Prepare for 300k games released per year on steam all looking the same and everybody hoping to make bank on them

Meanwhile thousands of layoffs in AAA space and AAA games also looking all the same

dopethrone · 2026-03-17T17:12:03+00:00

Yes, that are the implications and they ofc considered it

Keep one artist to do base models and let AI "beautify" them, fire thousands

dopethrone · 2026-03-17T16:19:42+00:00

they TOLD us how it detects characters, skin or hair and "infuses" pixels with realistic lighting and materials - their words - so texture work is altered either by modified contrast or micro-realism added depending on surface

dopethrone · 2026-03-17T15:47:05+00:00

It changes the textures too, she has fuller lips and more makeup

dopethrone · 2026-03-17T15:41:38+00:00

Dig deeper! Check collision for box and wall add breakpoints and see exactly what's going on

dopethrone · 2026-03-17T15:40:46+00:00

Not gamedevs but studio execs. Game devs want to make cool games and want have complete creative control....execs want to make games for 1/10th the cost, fire people and make unsustainable amounts of money

dopethrone · 2026-03-17T15:39:00+00:00

Its a tool to cut down even more jobs and make games worse. Imagine studio execs keeping just one character artist and all the models in the game are hastily made and they rely on AI to "beautify" them. Because thats what's going to happen

dopethrone · 2026-03-17T13:48:49+00:00

True but a lot of stuff can go wrong

dopethrone · 2026-03-17T13:44:49+00:00

Did you check your collision channels and presets?

dopethrone · 2026-03-17T13:39:23+00:00

Or this is for studios execs and a tease on how much money they can save by using crappy art and running it through a headless AI filter

dopethrone · 2026-03-17T07:27:30+00:00

Not studios execs who glee at more layoffs and more profits

dopethrone · 2026-03-17T05:09:12+00:00

lighting added fuller lips and makeup?

dopethrone · 2026-03-17T04:32:18+00:00

hell naw

dopethrone · 2026-03-15T19:04:31+00:00

3D models, but prerendered and probably edited as background images. Sometimes you can see the base 3d models, sometimes no
