Stellar material work from Kat.
I had the pleasure of working with her and Nick on the dynamic material damage system in #DOOM where some of those materials were used. That kind art+tech collaboration is amazing.

As a technical reviewer of PC games, I wish EVERY game had the level of frame-time perfection that Doom The Dark Ages has. It is masterfully optimised on PC! In this video I go over what the settings do, how lower end GPUs can increase performance, and much more!
Enjoy!
