Russia UN representative Vassily Nebenzia after US and Latvia block "balanced and depoliticized" Security Council resolution to stop ME violence. "This is a litmus test vote. And, excuse the expression, a smell test. Do the countries that did not support this resolution not realize how pathetic they look? It's not even double standards. This is surrealism, in the looking-glass world, and a theater of the absurd. It's just a disgrace. We will now constantly remind you of this when, in other situations, you pretend to be champions of international law."

$Great question! 🤔 How do you simulate *multiple* layers of glass/refraction in video games? In the last breakdown, I discussed how to create a glass shader in Unity URP. In essence, we were taking the render of the scene from the camera without any transparent objects. This is available in URP as the global _CameraOpaqueTexture. This is good enough for most use-cases, and more or less the classic way of doing it. 🔍 What is _CameraOpaqueTexture? As the name implies, there are no transparent objects rendered into this texture, so it's not possible by default to have something like a transparent-type ocean material/shader rendered through a refractive glass shader (which samples and distorts this texture to render on its surface, as if it's transparent). ⚠️ Why it’s tricky: It's much easier to sort without much further setup if you don't have refraction, and only a transparent material, because in that case you're not simulating the transparency yourself via sampling the rendered scene texture. But for refraction, it's required-- unless you want to go down the ray/path tracing route. You could simulate accurate, real dispersion... and that's about as expensive as it sounds, and it requires a rework of your entire rendering. --> 🚫 It's not a viable suggestion to offer. 📚 There are well-known terms regarding transparency sorting you can search up, but as you've specifically asked for refractive boxes, I'll discuss briefly about that. 🧱 Simulating layers of refraction: For this kind of rendering, you need some way to render the backfaces before rendering the front. And the backfaces that are rendered may contain whatever data you'd like for additional processing in the layer front-facing mesh render. 🧪 Examples: You could render the back face as a glass shader of its own, as an intermediate step after _CameraOpaqueTexture. Then you sample this texture instead and you end up with multi-layered refraction, "just like that". You can also render the back normals only, via a fully opaque shader, and use that to manually account for that during the front render. You could even bake in data needed for thickness in realtime. 🛠️ Without making it complicated for yourself, the most straightforward method is via render textures, and you can easily set some fractional resolution. Cameras in Unity have an open slot for target textures to render to. You can use custom render textures to process _SelfTexture2D. ⏱️ It's great to do low-resolution processing for more complex tasks, like blurring and caustics. You can get massive performance boosts, considering the square law and number of pixels/fragments that need calculations (quadratic scaling). 🚧 I've not fully exploited the possibilities myself, but research/development with PRISM is ongoing!$

You might have seen some posts that Highguard runs at a fake in-game resolution, but its not exactly what you think. Steam User Captain_SmellyRat noticed this issue first by pointing out that if you set render scale at 100%,the game would still show 80% of the resolution in DLSS hud UI. So If you're playing at 1080p, the internal resolution would be 864p and If you don't change the default render scale (which seems to be always set to 75%) the final resolution would be 648p. However it turns out that the in-game resolution is changed in value directly from post-processing settings that you set. Post-processing quality settings would change the internal resolution as follows: Low - 80% of in-game resolution Medium - 90% of in-game resolution High - 100% of in-game resolution If you're playing at high settings, you will not notice the game looking blurry, but if you play at medium or low settings, the game will look extremely blurry even though you think you're playing at 1080p or 4k. I find it weird that post-processing quality directly affects the internal game resolution, but if you're playing the game and it looks blurry to you, make sure you set the post processing quality to high. Whenever this was intentional or not to achieve a higher FPS, I don't exactly know. However, I still think the developers should have clarified what each settings affects the game, which in this case here it directly affects the resolution.

I don't even know what Yorkshire pudding is supposed to taste like but I made this carnivore version and it turned out uniquely amazing. Something about how the tallow browns the crust gives it a taste that is indescribably delicious. Carnivore Yorkshire Pudding: Batter: Mix 2 eggs 1/2 cup butter powder 1/2 cup heavy cream Leave in fridge overnight Bake muffin pan with a tsp of tallow in 7 bays at 425° for about 12 minutes or until wisps of smoke start to appear. Fill each muffin bay halfway and bake 14-16 minutes. Try not to peak since this may deflate your pudding. Each pudding is about .5 g carbs. Drizzled with maple syrup may be dangerous so do so only if you have mastered your hormones!

Working on Sparse Volumetric Light-maps. Thanks to CynicatPro🎃 for pointing me at Unreal's version. In a nutshell it's just another sparse voxel data structure. My implementation is, no doubt, different from Epic Games Store's own. I'm using 4x4x4 probe grid with intermediate nodes having very wide branching factor of 64 as well (4x4x4). I liked the parameters that Unreal is using, of limiting both total memory as well as the lowest level of detail, which is common in sparse grid implementations. Here's Bistro scene with just 1Mb limit. This is roughly equivalent to a 512x512 lightmap texture in 2d, except surface light maps require unique UVs and you typically get very little detail out of 512 resolution texture with a lot of light leaking. There is also no directional response. My implementation encodes second-order spherical harmonics for each probe (9 coefficients), encoding RGB channels as RGBE9995 (4 bytes). So far only worked on the structure, actual bake is yet to come. I've been eyeing sparse voxel structures for a while now, and have been studying them roughly since the GigaVoxel paper by Cyril Crassin but never really implemented anything for the GPU before. I was always the BVH-kind of guy. It's a fascinating topic. --- Stats for the scene: --- Total memory usage: 1.000 MB Node count: 609 Unique probe count: 24,025 Probe reuse: 38.36 % Unexpanded nodes: 15,714 --- Again, note that there is no GI going on here, only the structure of the probe tree and the algorithm for building it from a given scene.

Jake, who built a $50K/month alarm app in 4 months, says the most valuable skill right now isn't building it's... "Focus on top of funnel only. That is the most valuable skill right now is marketing. There's so many people that can build an app and it's so easy with AI, but there's not so many people that know how to market and know how to get views." "If nobody knows about your app, it doesn't exist. You can build as many features as you want." "Building doesn't really matter so much. You got to build a good product, of course. But getting views is more of the unknown."

I'm putting a lot of attention into getting a high quality transfer for the Face Proxy Mesh we're adding to the Fondant Custom Normals Blender addon. Even if the proxy has great Normals, it will not matter if the transfer is distorted. A basic world space Nearest Surface (aka Nearest Face Interpolated) transfer can get screwed up if there are gaps between the meshes. And if they are different shapes and poly counts, there will be! So the first big piece of the puzzle is getting a clean transfer. Before transferring Normals, a transfer space is made and a UV map is transferred from the proxy. Then any other data needed can be transferred in that UV space. As long as it is right, any other data will be clean! (Normals or anything else you might want.) And a UV map is easy to debug because you can put a grid texture on it. If the grid is evenly spaced, then distortion is minimal. This clip shows the differences in distortion between a basic World Space transfer and a better transfer space made by blending Sphere projection and a simple projection of the face forward onto the proxy (used down the center line.) Different faces will need slightly different configuration. Most of this is automatic, but the addon will have some simple controls to adjust it to different face shapes.

Waymo CEO Dmitri Dolgov explains the benefits of lidar, radar, and cameras for self driving: "They're very complementary." "The frequencies are very different. Laser gives you very high resolution. Think of it as a laser beam that goes out, spins around, and shoots out millions of these laser pulses per second. Then each one comes back and you can sample the 3D structure of the world with very high resolution." "Radar has much lower resolution, but because of the physics of it, it degrades much better in adverse weather conditions. So—fog, snow, heavy rain." "If it's a nice, bright, sunny day, cameras are very valuable. If it's pitch dark, or you have the sun in your face, or you're blinded by the headlights from an oncoming car, then the camera will degrade." "It's a combination of the sensors. Each one is noisy. How the noise characteristics show up in different environments is different, but it's not like we switch from one to another." "They all go into the system that gives you, jointly, the best view of what's happening in the world." Dmitri Dolgov with John Collison

Was working on CSM (Cascaded Shadow Maps) blending. My CSM implementation is a little unusual, I switch cascades as late as possible, using the highest available resolution cascade. Most CSM implementations choose cascades based on view depth, the problem with that is - you waste a lot of high resolution shadow texels, in my experience easily upwards of 50%. I figure - GPU already spent the effort to compute those shadow texels - why not use them, and get perceptually about 20-50% resolution increase in your shadows. This is not new, and MJP showed this in his code too (see below). The problem is in blending, if you use cascade projection matrix for choosing a cascade - blending becomes non-trivial. So I spent a lot of time working on that, and finally cracked it. Video shows blending of 5 cascades, the blend margin is exaggerated for demonstration purposes and cascades are pushed to the near plane for the same reason. The result is a perfect forward-only blend at the cost of a bit of ALU. Matt Pettineo is pretty much an authority on the subject nowadays, and I found his amazing repo very useful in the past:

Tucker exposes Mark Levin and Fox News: What they are doing is what they always do, which is turning up the propaganda hose to full blast and trying to knock elderly Fox viewers off their feet and make them submit to a new war that is not in their best interest. All they care about is the projection of force, using American service personnel to fight faraway wars. They canned me from Fox because I criticized Zelensky, and Zelensky is close to the owners of Fox... And it's like, how did that happen? They are deadly serious on the subject of the projection of force abroad. They'll lecture you about the gays and the black people and science... They don't give a shit about the science or trans people. What they care about is the projection of force against their enemies on the other side of the globe. H/T Karli Bonne’ 🇺🇸

Spawning 1000 characters 🚶🚶🚶 Well not really, they are actually 1000 props with vertex animations. I was curious how it would work. I used an Unreal Engine plugin Vertex Animation Toolkit and adjusted it to output 2K textures. You can load in multiple animations and bake into 1 Vertex Animation Texture array. In this case 2 idle and 2 walk animations. Using Verse to play random animations and walk to random locations. FPS drops a bit at 1000 props, i could play with distance culling. Nanite needs to be turned off, somehow it breaks the mesh on close up. Can’t wait for 1000 player servers lol #UEFN #FortniteCreative

MAJOR WARNING: Borderlands 4’s Performance on consoles is exactly what you’d expect from an open world UE5 game: As an Unreal Engine 5 open world title, BL4 suffers from the exact same issues that every single open world game on this engine suffers from: Traversal stutters, low resolution, pop-ins, the usual host of issues are all present, no magic solutions here. It’s far from unplayable and generally can be ignored but its important to note that issues exist across the board, this video is from the PS5 Pro which is the best case scenario, BL4 is NOT Pro enhanced so expect the same visuals here just worse if you’re on base systems.

My #threejs Lumen Decor Studio is getting an update. It will now support more settings and more complex scenes, thanks to the latest library updates. I'm combining #WebGPU SSGI with light probes, giving us the best of both worlds. Real-time light bounces via SSGI, and when the camera stops moving, I bake probes to measure the average light in the room, generating fill lights that paint an envmap. I also created a denoiser for SSGI, avoiding the previous blur that discarded the AO. Now, everything is lighter, a little noisier, but it complements indirect light well. Live link coming soon. BTW: The video is on my YouTube Channel in case you want to watch it in a higher resolution: #creativecoding #archiviz #WebGPU

Wuthering Waves PS5 Performance Test • Test Setup PS5 Slim (brand new, clean, no dust) Room temperature: 22°C with AC • Map Issue Yes, it's real. The new map is locked to around 2 FPS when opened from the menu, making it extremely laggy. • Stuttering Problems The game has severe stuttering. In some areas, it even freezes for 4–5 seconds, making the experience frustrating. • My Observation From my testing, the game appears to be running at a very high internal resolution on PS5 instead of relying on aggressive upscaling. For example, DLSS Quality at 1440p renders the game internally at approximately 1707×960 before upscaling it to 2560×1440. On PS5, however, it looks like the game is rendering at or near 2560×1440 internally and then upscaling to 4K. If that's true, it's an extremely demanding target for a base PS5. • Is This Fixable? Yes. If the game is indeed using such a high internal resolution, lowering it and using better reconstruction or dynamic resolution scaling could significantly improve performance. Running at such a high internal resolution on a base PS5 doesn't make much sense, and the game has suffered from performance issues for nearly 12 months. • Final Thoughts Kuro Games needs to address this. At this point, we can't keep blaming players, their hardware, or the engine. If the high internal resolution is the cause, it should be adjusted. If it isn't, then something else in the game's optimization is seriously wrong. #WutheringWaves #Gacha

🇺🇸🇮🇷 SHOULD THE U.S. STRIKE IRAN? "IF THE GOAL IS WEAKEN THE REGIME AND NEGOTIATE, I'M IN" Patrick Bet-David, an Iranian-American entrepreneur and journalist, shares his opinion on the complex decision of whether the U.S. should strike Iran. He’s critical of the Iranian regime but highlights the risks involved. "If the goal is to completely destroy the regime, I worry about a massive power vacuum and chaos like Libya or Iraq. But if the intention is to weaken the regime and pressure them into negotiation, I could get behind it. I’d be open to pressuring Iran for a peaceful resolution but definitely not a full-scale war. I trust Trump’s instincts on these matters, but the real question is, how do we handle this situation long-term?" Patrick Bet-David

I trust Trump’s instincts on these matters, but the real question is, how do we handle this situation long-term?" Patrick Bet-David

2026 = The end of upscaling? One of generative AI's biggest drawbacks was the resolution, and I'm not talking about the output resolution as 1080p would be enough for most of the projects. I'm talking about the "internal" resolution of how these models work, that makes small faces distorted in your generations, the ones that will make a wide-shot impossible because the small details will morph and of course with some models text rendering is not possible. Upscaling with AI was always a strange case, local upscalers sometimes lacked the quality compared to the closed source competitors, but those can be pretty pricey and the results are sometimes way too "creative". So I was very, very interested when Kling AI announced native, not upscaled 4K generation but wanted to have a good method test it. Again, I never missed the 4K output resolution with genAI, but I missed the nuanced detail rendering of the engines and the lack of that made it impossible to create for example very wide shots with tiny details. So I fired up some image models to generate stills inspired by Morocco and see how Kling behaves, now in 4K. Some notable moments: 00:22 - Skin and eye texture, the movements, the little coins in the headdress 01:18 - The reflection in the water 01:39 - The reflection in the eye, and the scarf textures 02:10 - Check all the details on the rails 02:20 - Water particles and leaves 02:29 - The rendering of the rusty parts of the rail 02:50 - How the waves change the reflection in the foreground 02:55 - The cloud movement in the background

Q: Engine changes that you can make with ADUO, is the title still possible for you & the team? "It's unlikely from from an update perspective it's not like now we can just bring an update next week it takes months and months and months to develop and change components on the engine to prove it to make sure it still holds reliability and it's it's a long long development process so whether or not the engine will catch up this year it's highly unlikely I would say that the engine is going to catch up this year with the time we have left it's more the opportunity close the gap for next year, power wise." Q: But do you think... "But in terms of the title I'm still... I think if we we can still outdo people in terms of how we develop the car a car is very good the the downforce package that we have is really good we're gonna have to double up make sure that we're always one step ahead of everyone in terms of advancing that so we can go through the corners quicker and catch up the deficit we may lose down the straights improve efficiency so we maybe can improve a bit on drag for example to try and close that gap in speed but you know and there's lots of different things happening in all these different tracks so you know never say never and I just keep pushing give it absolutely everything."

Hi Superstar! Are you excited for your special training? Cw: diaper usage, weight gain, audible farts/burps. This one is gonna be very different to my usual content, focused more around embarrassment and the voice of Glamrock Freddy telling you what to do. It's best if you just relax and follow along. I will be looking to open up for paid custom work in the very near future. This is an example of alternative work I can do and would love to do more of if there is interest. As always, you can find the full resolution version through the link at the end or on my page. Enjoy.
