YOU CAN NOW REMASTER ANY 2D GAME INTO A... 3D WORLD Pokémon Ruby defined a generation of top-down handheld gaming. 2D is fast and solo-friendly: tiles, sprites, simple animations. 3D has always been brutal modeling, rigging, lighting, LODs, and months of specialized work that kills most small teams. Mint shatters that One screenshot → instant coherent 3D worlds No more waiting for studios to invest a 2D game becomes 3D today.show more

NVIDIA finally released Neuralangelo's source code! The model can... turn videos from any device into detailed 3D structures, fully replicating buildings, sculptures, or other real aworld objects or spaces virtually. Here's how it works: A model utilizes a 2D video with multiple angles of an object or scene. I selects frames from different viewpoints to understand depth, size, and shape. The AI creates an initial 3D representation, similar to a sculptor shaping a subject. The render is optimized to enhance details, like a sculptor refining texture. The outcome is a 3D object or scene suitable for virtual reality, digital twins, or robotics.show more

Slimy Fox 🦊 For this shoot, I decided to... try something a little different. A playful bath-time set featuring Wakamo, with a touch of lubricant for that glossy, wet finish. 😏 I’ll admit, it was my first time experimenting with this idea. It was suggested to me, and it turned out to be far more fun than I expected. That wet, glistening texture really changed the entire mood of the shoot. The full NSFW photos and videos are on Patreon, with free previews and extended sets available. Link in comments. ⬇️show more

As a graphics engine coder I think when you... look at a flickering bug like this one in the video below it’s not immediately obvious what is going on. The key here is observation - to study this flickering/bugged render carefully - what do we see? Firstly for me it was very obvious that nearly all of the scene shadows were flashing on and off - but (but!) there was a secondary issue where some buildings and parts of the sky were also flashing purple. Hmmmm. Interesting. I initially thought then this might be two separate bugs - but because the sky purple element could only based on full screen post fx and not 3D rendering I looked at this first with a few GPU captures to step through all our post processing to find the rendering stage which made these pixels turn purple: When I did this I found the colour 3D texture LUT grading that makes our different biomes have unique colour palettes was going very wrong - colours near 0 or 1 were wrapping and making the purple elements that we see in the said sky and base parts. The only way this could happen was if the texture was corrupt (which it was not) or if the 3D texture sampling was wrapping and not clamped as intended. That was the Eureka moment - because if the post fx had the wrong texture sampler then the disappearing shadows which also require an exact texture sampler for comparing depth might be also wrong because of the same kind of texture sampling issue! So with this idea that the engine was using the wrong texture samplers, but only in very high draw call scenes like the big base here I the looked at some engine limits and found the bug very quickly - a circular dx12 descriptor buffer for samplers running out over multiple frames, reusing the wrong data for new scenes inflight. Hence the flickering, as the GPU randomly got wrong samplers for some post textures or shadow depth. Easy to fix with triple limits for future expansion and also adding an assert/debug spam in case this limit is ever reached again - QA testers would see this message and report if they ever saw a flicker with this style of bug. My bug and my bad from 2017 porting NMS to DX12 without foreseeing how massively complex bases and our game would grow.show more

A view of how the fake-3d parallax works in... my game Well Dweller. The game engine I use is primarily for 2D games (gamemaker), so I instead have background objects lean with the camera position based on their assigned depthshow more

I am getting super excited to share my workflow... for sending the After Effects 3D Motion Tracked Camera to Unreal Engine and then bringing the 3D renders back to AE for compositing. It will be a free tutorial NEXT WEEK from School of Motion.show more

UI/UX Designers, you can now render and animate 3D... models without opening Blender.

Can’t believe it’s free; bookmark it for later. 💜show more

An ode to the 7 Wood… I ignored the... hype for a long time. My male ego just didn’t let me give the 7 wood a try. With my hybrid struggling, I finally took the plunge a couple months ago. I can say with no hyperbole: It’s the best club ever. This is a tough stance and have to get the ball up fast. 195 yards out. Basically zero chance for me with an iron or hybrid. Just put it in the middle of that stance and swing. Boom. Rough, bunkers, fairway…just doesn’t matter. Somehow it always seems to go in the right direction. If you have fought the urge to ditch the 4 iron or hybrid, it’s time you try it. You won’t ever go back. 7 wood for lifeshow more
