2 more recruiters on linked in today for this. I asked if they were after AE or Nuke people - or look dev and lighting and they said they dont know- but they have to fill 300 artist positions a week for 3 month contracts? I assume to train AI.
Who else has been contacted about this Meta VFX thing? 4 different recruiters / all for the same (3000?!?) jobs at meta but none of them are consistent with what they need. Vfx? Rendering? Look dev? Comp? Unreal? Vr? After effects? Nuke? Houdini? C4d? What’s going on over there lol.

Ok so Ive been really busy with contract work which is amazing - but tonight I found a bit of time to work on my game and i chose to spend it trying to dial in the night part of my day / night cycle. Also made some foliage shader edits that saved me .5-.8ms on my frame times.

The vibe on prime 4 online is baffling to me- i think the game looks incredible and cant wait to get into it.

The wireframe on this model I made is absolute chaos and looks horrendous but the shading is good and honestly sometimes with the timelines that makes it 100% right but I would die if someone say this wire frame lmao

Any UE heads might have any insight into why a level instance that contains lighting will show its children when nested in a main level- but then in play mode or going into the level instance it shows nothing at all then deletes its contents?

I just can’t get into Welcome To Derry. It’s not good. I was laughing pretty hard the grave yard scene it just looked like a bad haunted house movie.

Ive been pretty busy with some client stuff lately and haven't had much time on my own game but took a little stroll through the viewport tonight. I miss working on this.

Really want to pick up Arc Raiders but I know it’s got the sauce I haven’t had in a long time and all my projects will fall behind

This weekend I think I’m gonna finally fork my game and see what performance without lumen and nanite is like. I just can’t get it running well on a steam deck which is what I’d like the minimum to be.

Affinity going "free" and focusing on AI updates that come with a canva sub is like the last thing they should be doing. There are so many features, tools and things that Affinity was missing- it honestly felt incomplete. At least I own my 2.0 suite but so exhausted by all software doing this now.

I wish the final version of modo was at least as stable as 16 because theres some cool stuff in it and the new dark theme ui is super nice

There is a probe based lumen irradiance cache thing on the ue5 main branch now. I’m pretty sure the Embark ue5 titles are using the evolution of nvidias probe based gi and performance in their games are excellent. The commit says 2x to 3x faster. Kinda want to pull it and check it out.

Haven’t mixed tunes in forever and ever and just thought I recorded a whole 3hr session but realized that my laptop hd was full and recorded just 2 minutes lmao. I got out and cleaned off all 3 of my turntables today too and had both cdjs going. I was zoned right in haha

This is one of the most deranged AI things Ive ever seen. An action game that is playing through a constantly shifting fever dream of pure insanity would go incredibly hard though. Like Inception but you did acid. Control has a little bit of that.
Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.
