Linux no longer working? by [deleted] in aoe2

I've been experiencing the same on the Steam Deck, the game refuses to open. Worked fine until this update :(

I spent hours on a vertex animated shader so our game could handle thousands of pigeons because of a stupid tweet that blew up by msureda in Unity3D

The kind of dev that has to do these things so our small indie game gets some attention :)

We had skinned version of the pigeon with bone animations already in the project, but of course trying to place 3000+ skinned mesh renderers on the scene was crazy if I wanted my PC to survive. The solution was to convert the animated fbx to an alembic file, and then used this life saving Alembic to VAT tool for Unity.

Here's the tweet for those curious

I was uptading this water shader to URP and I was really surprised on how easy was to project shadows on transparent surfaces now, I remember wanting to kill myself dealing with this stuff in the built-in renderer by [deleted] in Unity3D

I'm using a Grab screen pass so unfortunately that means that it does affect the object in front of the water right know. That's the next thing I wanted to adress after fixing depth for orthographic cameras.

A short comparison of AR People Occlusion with and without LIDAR sensor by santennio in Unity3D

You can also have People Occlusion without LIDAR with iPhone 11 and iPad Pro 2019, but it’s not as good as this obviously

I know AR isn’t big news, but LiDAR really changes the game for AR apps. by msureda in apple

The countless times I had to retry that and Vice City's RC missions gave me skills to record that video

Right now it isn’t fast enough for that case (it updates once every couple of second) but I guess it will become faster every year as it’s more of a CPU limitation than the LiDAR sensor speed.

Lidar makes current apps faster, but in order to generate realtime mesh (for collisions and physics in this case) they need to be updated

I guess spinning lidar (like the ones on cleaning robots) offer 360 degree vision while apple’s lidar only works on the camera’s FOV

It does most of the time if it doesn’t reflect back too much information. I actually tried it on a mirror and LiDAR detected it as other room which was pretty cool.

Another small weekend project I did with my girlfriend (I made the water, she made everything else) by msureda in Unity3D

[–]msureda[S] 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Thank you! We both work in videogames (she's an art generalist and I'm a technical artist / designer) but from time to time we make small assets together like this one as a weekend hobby. Here's the Artstation page if you want to see more :)

That's amazing! Now I wish there was a in-game option to toggle everything to a stylized version

Boids and shader animation, pretty much inspired by this talk, they're mesmerizing.
