Really interesting revisting the original Mass Effect, an early Xbox title. Designs and visuals still hold up, but it's much easier to tell how far they had to push trimsheets - but the DOF really does a good job in hiding the repetition.
Been spending some time making textures the old fashioned way to bring into Godot / Unity for some new projects. Been fairly disappointed with the texture work in a lot of smaller projects online. Feels like it's a lost art nowadays.
I find it interesting that the response for some, hearing about their visual scripting system eventually being deprecated for a high level proprietary scripting language, is to switch to another engine that has its own non visual proprietary scripting language.
A lot of studios propped up during COVID have been closing down the past year. iWOT Montreal being the latest one this Wednesday.

This was one of the coolest things I saw at GDC this year. The author @dan5sch just wrote a blog post on the project. Basically turning low-poly meshes into detailed voxel objects on the fly. The visual appearance is truly unique and extremely consistent.

Little preview of what's to come in the new "Making a Fluid Solver in Niagara" training series.
Heterogeneous Volumes have come a long way since I started toying with them in 5.1 Great job, Epic Devs! The indirect lighting implementation is great!

Scrubbing through Rebel Moon, it seems like a lot of the scenes had some barrel distortion filter / blur on the sides. Felt very distracting when I was watching it
Sad to read that CGSociety is shutting down in January. It was a valuable source of information and discussion around 3D art that simply did not exist at the time old.reddit.com/r/vfx/comment…
