This is my buddy Phelan, he makes a lot of stuff like this and it’s very entertaining. His compositing and After Effects work is very solid!

If I ever design my own game it’s going to have ridiculous healing animations too, like having to finish Perfection before the timer is up lol

No doubt. Parallax shaders in particular are one of my favorites as well. I'm the environment lead on this indie project, built this scene with Blender & Unreal 5. I built a custom landscape shader with 4 unique paintable material types, all using POM for fake 3D. I still remember being blown away by parallax mapping in Elder Scrolls: Oblivion (2004), though a much simpler form of it.

This individual is basically asking about how the devs at DICE handled lightmaps in Battlefield 4 (baked global illumination) when it came to dynamic events like buildings collapsing, which is an excellent question! In the video I provided here, you can see lightmaps on the building, particularly the balconies. Essentially, when it’s time for the building to collapse, a dynamic animated version of the building is immediately instantiated in the exact location of the old one. You can actually see this happening too. Before the building collapses, you can see a weird flicker effect. That flicker is the lightmaps disappearing entirely, because a different version of the same building that lightmaps won’t function on replaces the static light mapped building. Really cool stuff!

The only nitpick I have with Halo that made me pause long enough to care saying anything about is this subtle texture artifact on some assets. My guess is a procedural noise texture is feeding the material's roughness input (which controls how glossy or matte the surface appears). The noise texture is sampling world space instead of object space. So as the Covenant canister moves, it "swims" through the noise field, making the roughness pattern slide across the surface instead of staying locked to the mesh. It's a tiny thing most players will never notice but fuck man years of staring at material graphs have permanently damaged my ability to properly enjoy shiny objects.

Vehicles in Gears of War: E-Day have soft body deformation from explosions, as well as amazing material based surface damage effects. This game continues to amaze me in so many little ways

GTA 4 RTX with DLSS 5 slop is intriguing to toy around with ngl. IV is the only Rockstar title so far that I can get DLSS 5 working with at the moment. Coupled with the RTX mod, the results are pretty wild

My “Ragdolls in Different Games” series, which I started after my reload shtick. While this wasn’t as successful, it stood on its own pretty well. I should make more of these, it’s just hard on my body.

Absolutely fuckin wild playing fully path traced GTA 4. The actual raytracing/PBR injections are running flawlessly in the diner, but as soon as I go outside my Ryzen 5950x is like "wtf is this shit how old is this fucking game"
