got my glass shader working, nothing fancy, just two noises from material maker packed into 512x512 RG texture - one fine grained in the corners driven by vertex color, the other - dust specs and fingerprints, uses inverse of that color as a mask, should fit every window shape

observation of the day: going full white in the metallic channel often makes metal things look dark and unnatural, i dropped values of my shiniest doorhandles to 0.5 in curves, not only they started to fit better into the scene but also stopped appearing completely black in unshaded view

injecting a little bit of reddish tones in the form of the black-red gradient into the final adjustmens in godot really makes a difference in the percieved realism of the scene, at least to my bloodshot eyes

i think i finally getting the idea of beveling geometry entirely with normalmaps, now i see where that 9th/8th gen look originated from

need to control my albedo contrast differences and noisiness better

trying out trimsheets, concrete & tiles share the same texture, metallic channel of the ORM contains dirt mask multiplied with red vertex color, whole room is heavily subdivided to allow for more tile variation, floor & outer walls objects have disabled shadows #godot #gamedev

no game of mine will contain crafting in any shape or form. it's always so boring and tedious that it should be made illegal, its only purpose is to perpetuate the economy of peddling useless junk. might as well allow players to rip copper from the wires

internet of the 90s/00s is overly romanticized. even then, a lot of it was made with the intention of pleasing shareholders. but i do wonder why this memory is repressed today - is it because of (imaginary) nostalgia, or because companies back then felt so inept that it resembled no effort at all?

Just found out about tech-twitter greentext post imitations and after reading few of these I'm in genuine awe that completely butchering greentext format is even possible

Wtf is going on with modern media? Does anybody really want to watch corporate dystopias about voluntary workplace lobotomisation? Is real life gaslighting not enough? I'll stick to my old torrented classics

Love my shitty neighborhood apartment: 3AM doorbells, pretending to be police on the intercom just to get inside, people screaming drunk ramblings and shining flashlight through windows, constant siren blaring. Whoever lived here before is either in jail, abroad, or dead, but the word isn't out yet
