On l'a pas vu venir mais Clair Obscur a tout pété cette année, avec sa DA, son univers et ses combats de ouf.
Mais aussi, peut-être, un petit peu, grâce à TOUTES les idées qu'il a piquées au gratin du jeu vidéo moderne.
On vous révèle tout dans ce nouveau GND !

Getting back to writing blog posts! ✏️

It’s old content, a 4y.o twitter thread, lost when I fled the old place. I decided to bring it back to you.

Maybe you recall it? It was about stairs 🛕

#MaterialMaker 1.4 (#GodotEngine based PBR material authoring and 3D model texturing tool) is now available on @itchio .
It is based on Godot 4, had a huge UI redesign and has quite a few new nodes.

For anyone into game dev or shader art: this article is a super clear breakdown of color spaces, models, gamuts and the amazing OkLab ❤️.
Understanding these is key when you’re fighting with linear vs gamma space.

What would you say to an animation tool that is as easy to rig and add animations as Mixamo... but completely free and open source?

Meet Mesh2Motion!

Probably the most common newb shader mistake is ignoring aspect ratio:

vec2 coord = fragCoord / resolution * 2.0 - 1.0;
Instead of:
vec2 coord = (fragCoord*2.0 - resolution) / resolution.y;
