No one ever questions this shit with superhero movies, which Bond essentially set the template for. Craig was a full back to basics reboot, just do it again.
Also, since we’re doing Bond discourse, Riz Ahmed would be a great Bond.

I made some chilaquiles from the tomatillos in my yard and took my dog on a 2.5 mile walk in beautiful weather. So glad the government is sending in the troops to protect me from heaven on earth.

If you do photogrammetry (or want to get better at it!), a ring flash with a proper filter and scale bars can make your life much easier.
I can't recommend the products by Noldorware enough. Extremely high quality materials at a very affordable price point. www.noldorware.com

Made more progress on TIDALFLATS this weekend. I used the Settings menu as a springboard to learn how to save player data - in this case, a variable for Volume controls - that is persistent across play sessions. Was surprised that save and load even work in PIE!

This is a long winded way to say I made my main menu UI today. Since I learned web design before 3D art, it's fun to poke into UMG.

So, how can you generate a Distance Field texture?
You can use the Distance Node in Substance Designer, or you can use a Stroke layer in Photoshop with Gradient and Shape Burst set. I unfortunately could not find an alternative in Krita or Affinity.

You can see some great examples of this technique in a 2007(!) Siggraph talk from Valve. Despite this being an old technique, it is often overlooked. steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/apps/valve/2...

Something like a simple crosshair can be achieved using Signed Distance Fields (SDFs) and can be generated entirely in your shader using math. This example is a slightly modified example from @ghislaingir.bsky.social. 2/3
