This argument has always made 0 sense to me. This game has realtime cinematic cutscenes featuring extreme closeup shots of character faces. You WILL see & notice these details. The pursuit of higher fidelity art should be applauded, but tweets like this discourage 3D artists.
Graphic details like this are nice until I realize my GPU and CPU will be outdated within the year because of how much modern devs wanna render skin pores and counless crap I won't even notice.

But I say this as someone who often makes stylized graphics for my games: a rising tide raises all ships. Don't discount the work of detailed realistic games just because AAA games aim for it. The tech created for these games improves the workflow for all graphics styles.

There isn't one "right" way to make game visuals; if anyone tells you otherwise you should question their position. Art is an expression of human experience & emotion, and realistic games can reflect our experience of the real world to evoke familiarity, nostalgia, & empathy.

I watched “Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu”in IMAX. Back in 2019, I had only seen the opening of The “Mandalorian” while examining the LED-shot “virtual production” technology, but this time I had no problem diving in. Action, car chases, close-quarters combat, sword fights, gun battles, death matches, aerial combat, giant monsters, giant mechs. A complete “everything versus everything” showcase. CGI, puppets, special makeup, animatronics, stop motion. Even the behind-the-scenes craftsmanship feels like it has everything packed in. X-Wings, AT-ATs, AT-RTs, speeders, stormtroopers, droids. Nearly every element from across the entire history of the Star Wars saga is in as well. An entertainment spectacle made with craftsmanlike skill by Jon Favreau.

I used to look up to Andrew Price & he was a big reason that I was able to learn 3D art for my games. He even critiqued some of my early works on his review show long before the donut tutorial. To see that he has fallen this far and associated with a known bigot is disappointing.
oh my God guys I'm dying how does he keep making it worse 💀💀

However, the kind of AI that Price seems to be advocating for literally generates pixels to create compositions for you and generates detailed meshes (probably with terrible topology) based some vague prompts/images you throw at it. 3D artists have already lost jobs from this.

There is no world in which this creates more jobs for artists. We were already struggling to survive before large companies felt that they could replace us with a tool. I will accept a "lowered efficiency" creating art if it means authenticity and true expression of ideas.

There's a few days left to get my action game Iron Reckoning⚔️ on sale for 60% off! While it's an older title of mine, it features a pretty unique combat mechanic with a more serious tone in story/music, so do check it out!😎 #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev store.steampowered.com/app/1…

NVidia's DLSS 5 announcement stirred up a lot of reactions already, but I thought my perspective as a developer might be interesting... so I uploaded a video explaining why I think it's a disaster for the future of the industry! 😅 #gamedev #dlss5 #nvidia youtu.be/y7jma8GHbWc

Today I attended my first protest here in NJ because the racist, bigoted administration destroying our country needs to understand that this is what democracy looks like. Protect the LGBTQ community. Abolish ICE. Justice for Alex Pretti and Renée Good. #nokings #protest #justice

Though it might sound like a small win, I was actually stuck on this problem for over a month and thought it might ruin the project. After discovering a material setting I missed, I can now sort transparent objects behind Unity's volumetric cloud system 😅 #graphics #gamedev

I experimented with ~10 different replacement cloud techniques, from GPU simulated particles all the way to my own volumetric shader. Nothing was working out and I didn't have the bandwidth to really invest time in it. All of that just to wrap back around to my starting idea lol
