This is outrageous. Don’t stop complaining about this company as it intentionally benefits from the theft of artists due to their expansive use of these theft based models. Raise your concerns loudly until they change directions and if not just stop supporting Epic games.

Epic Games has internally delayed the release of a shooter game they’ve been developing featuring Star Wars & Marvel characters. • Developers on the game have now been told to only use AI to write the code — “No more hand-written code” • All art for the game would be “generated with full AI workflows” (Source: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…)

This is why young people are so apathetic to the workforce and the culture of “professionalism”. They don’t give a fuck and THIS IS WHY.

I used to be immersed in the world and story of this game. I remember being in Traverse Town, thinking about how they did things, and how the game was made, years before being involved with game development myself. It's incredible, that years after, I can just see the data/information of the simulation <- the systems, actually behind the gameplay and mechanics. 👀🧠

Collision geometry holds index into level palette -> animate tint to target. Polygons are broadly coloured to match expected/apparent realtime scene lighting. Figured it out, directly from the actual game. 🎉 No more conjecture, only certainty :) ~5 years later.

The people in this thread commenting things like "why waste your time doing this when ai can do it for you" truly do not understand the point of life.

The stop-motion animation work behind LAIKA’s WILDWOOD (2026) is absolutely insane. 136 handcrafted sets, over 200 practical puppets and 49 animators working across 231 weeks, with some shots producing just 1–4 seconds of animation per week. @LAIKAStudios #Wildwood, #LAIKA_partner

Laika’s ’WILDWOOD’ is early tracking to earn only $6M-$10M on its domestic opening weekend. • Budget was of around $100M • One of the lowest openings for an animated film in 2026 (Via: boxofficepro.com/long-range-…)

Disney and DreamWorks are churning out CGI sequels every year, while animators at LAIKA spent 11 years in an Oregon warehouse hand-weaving tiny coats for puppets to make Wildwood LAIKA’s last movie lost nearly $75 million in 2019 and any other studio would have pivoted to cheap animation. God bless Nike founder Phil Knight for funding his son’s stop-motion passion project so we can get actual hand-crafted cinema. Support real art.

A progress bar is cool, but now let's make a circular one. Initially without sections. Follow me so you don't miss the next version. Yes, I’m continuing to work on the UI for the game and create Unreal Engine materials for that #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5
Alien 👽 Max | 🇺🇦 game developer@delaigrodelaOct 8
I’m continuing to work on UI. I need to display a progress bar with tick marks - for instance, to show scanning progress or volume. I’ve activated my "Unreal Engine shader entity" and created a material for this purpose #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5

Pro tip for any game dev: Stop putting women into shooter games unless they're meant to be primarily eye candy The guys who play these games don't want to be ordered around by some butch masculine girlboss It appeals to no one and is off-putting to nearly everyone

I would not be surprised if many movie-goers just assume that the water is part of the 'plate photography', when there is none. For those of us working in #VFX and know just a wee bit more about how challenging FX liquid sims can be, this is straight up voodoo magic good.

Phase 2: Interaction system. I added intersection and a history buffer. Normals are driven by slope in world space The more you intersect something the stronger the normal. Next is water and puddles.
