Woaah gatling turret!

Ah damn yeah bringing in colors for debug view is super smart!
And also having the channels available for other stuff would be really useful. We had some other screen effects we ditched because i didnt want to read multiple fullscreen textures all the time

Yeah i was also wondering how low we can push the resolution for these because currently they are the same size as the albedo textures. We have a switch port coming up so we will need to cut back on textures a lot. Might be worth a try!

Thanks a lot!
Yeah so the other texture is a single channel mask mapped to the normal UVs of each model.

It just shifts the vertex colors up or down a bit to allow for patterns like tiles or wood parquet to also get outlines for example.
probably a bit wasteful ressourcewise 😬

Also the stylization is super neat! Is it based on worldspace noise?

Ah interesting.

I used the "rollerdrome" approach for our game with vertex colors and another texture for additional outlines not on poly edges.
But now after release i am wondering what i can optimize there!

So rendering to a singlechannel section map might be an interesting idea! Thanks!

I have a question! I saw that you render the vertex colors to a 1 channel section map. Is that just for optimization reasons?

Ohh is that a vertex color painter tool? 🀯 Thats damned smart

This is exactly why the general public isnt ready for the so-called AI-Revolution yet. They don't even know what it means...
Like i bet some CEOs and Politicians out there think this is true and correct!

Palestinian freedom is a pre-requisite for our own, because if we can't protest and object and take action against almost 650 days of genocide and war crimes of this scale by Israel, we can't object to anything. If we can't save Palestine, we can't save ourselves when the fascists come for us.

And this is why the AI hype is really stupid 🫠 it leads to a reproduction of the most common not the best, most accurate or even real answer

Honestly, if you're older than 25 and doing art, you owe Fatma your voice - she was assassinated with her entire family for just wanting to be 26 and doing art, and all she did wrong was being born as a person that our culture allows to be assassinated in a genocidal apartheid regime.

Twitter post/pohoto from JK Rowling who sits on what looks like yacht, taking a puff of what looks like a cigar.  She holds a cocktail close to her face and looks smug as fuck. Text on tweet: I love it when a plan comes together. #SupremeCourt #WomensRights.

Text on screen: our.moral.imperative British billionaire JK Rowling has posted several gloating tweets today after the UK
Supreme Court ruled that only 'biological women' legally count as women, excluding trans women from legal protections and safeguards.
Rowling's vicious smear campaign against trans people in Britain has been going on for several years now and has played a major role in cultivating the extremely hostile and toxic environment that exists in the country towards trans people, particularly in the name of liberal 'feminism'.

Oh thats so neat! I'm working on a building game and need some procedural mesh building for arbitrary wall placements with corners and so on. Definitely going to try tiling with vertex colors! Thats a very nice approach πŸ€”

Sounds super cool!

And the second view you showed was vertex colors i assume? To mark the different parts of the mesh? πŸ€”

Automatic as in you drop in an assets and it gets *autmagically* sliced? πŸ‘€

Oh this is cool! Are you also tiling the geometry? I was working on something similar for my project!

Israel killed 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers one by one, says UN Workers on a mission to help colleagues were buried in mass grave in southern Gaza, says humanitarian office

Is it a war crime to execute 15 paramedics and rescue workers one by one ? Much of the West wants you to believe that it depends on whether you're Israel.

This is a downstream effect of Productivity Brain that I've only noticed with the rise of LLMsβ€”people actually think the goal of language and math class is to "produce" essays and finished worksheets.

I think this is very cool, extremely important, and also I deeply wish the phrase "industry-wide" would not lead to a website that allows sign-ups only from exactly two extremely influential nations on a single continent. Regardless, great this exists - if you're a US/Canadian worker, check it out!
