I make games, write extremely fast code, and make pretty art. I'm very grumpy but also soft.
My father died about 5 years ago. We had a distant relationship, but I still wish I could have shown him some of my work.
Feels like missing a step. A habit made for a reality that no longer exists. =<

Honestly, stylized proportions are hard to do in 3d, you’re doing great so far!

Yep, that’s an Anton design alright. X3

My favorite cursed fact is that unity originally imported HDR images as SRGB, and didn't fix it for so long that they decided not to fix it at all. Claiming it would break too many existing projects.

Huh, fascinating! Can i ask how the material properties are handled for these voxels, how do you convert from a 4x4x4 bit brick to an index for the voxel?

I'd say fight me, but my sword is too large and I'll be too slow to fight back

This is hiding some tiny little pinhole artifacts they couldn't figure out how to fix.

Speaking from the highpoly side, it's not great for that either. Skinning is just a bad technique honestly.
I 100% understand how the flow went originally. "Hey, we use matrices for objects, lets allow vertices to be parented to multiple objects!"
But in practice, the quality and workflow suck.

This sounds like a really rad game concept honestly, there's a lot of room for cool aesthetics and neat game design cause and effect in this.
I've had a similar vampire concept in my back pocket about seeing the long term consequences of actions over decades.
Long time periods are under-explored.

What your describing there is already how input prediction works. It works well, but at 60fps, small errors accumulate very fast.
It's usually a combination of game state and controller based prediction, since that works extremely well.

Also the DNN itself adds latency.
You have the normal input->gameframe->renderframe->gpu->present delay, then on top of that add a whole extra frame and readback before that input can even hit the cpu to be used. so your having to predict quite far ahead.

Yes, this actually works ok in the tests i've seen, but evaluating a neural network is sadly extremely gpu memory bandwidth intensive, especially if you're processing images as input.
And if your having to render an camera for every single player you run into cpu draw call overhead. =/

I've had this decision before(though on a smaller scale) and it sucks. I feel for ya.
A pile of lessons learned, even if it's a bunch of broken pieces.

I was sick, so I decided to make myself ramen. But I kept smelling soap while eating it, turns out I didn't rinse the pan enough, so I had made soap ramen.
It did not make me feel better.
