the THRONE ROOM CHALLENGE
There is a place in every kingdom and country where borders are shaped, wars fought, populations ruled and justice served. This place is the Throne Room. A gigantic stone chair carved in the back of a dark cave, relic from a long forgotten civilization? Maybe the modest wooden throne of an imaginary kingdom in the… -
Re: Mari and Modo Indie available now on Steam
This is a bit misleading. The Indie License for both Modo and Mari are not doing what Autodesk is doing. Lets make sure we are being completely honest and transparent about this. Take Maya LT for example, it has limited animation, no dynamics, no rendering. These are some pretty big components of Maya. Going over to Modo… -

My thoughts on AI generated content.
Yes, I know it's been talked to death, but I will give my thoughts anyway for those who care. And no: I don't like AI-generated 'creative' content :-). But I welcome AI automating repetitive tasks. Proponents of generative algorithms reason AI 'learns' like a human, and therefore it is not a problem to use human-created… -
Re: Subdivision surface (Catmull Clark) vs. Tessellation
q1: sort of. If you're talking about the difference between the catmull clark subdivision surface algorithm and direct x11+ real time tesselsation, then they are different things, but not specifically incompatible. One is an algorithm for how to tesselate a surface to a smoother approximation by use of b-spline… -

Re: New Painting Tool. Colour Constructor!
Ah! True, well, the native HCY' algorithm should work then, because it's a double-conical space that results from the formula, without any saturation-fudging like HSL does. The Krita algorithm is a HSL formula to adapted to HCY', so you may find it has the same issue. In which case use the normal HCY' formula, which can… -
Re: Houdini Engine for Indies now FREE!
that's noble but dumb. Marketing -> more users -> more revenue -> more for dev, support . More users -> more hype, more game specific tutorials and more specific use cases, more Houdini knowledge sharing within the games industry. Marketing isn't just a tool to shove annoying ads in your face and make a grab for the… -
Re: AI Usage in Indie Games
@space_goblin said: "Additionally, if something like midjourney were used to create references for a character, and the final design took some inspiration from said design but modified it, is that deemed acceptable?" Personally, not even close! Because briefly generative ai doesn't create, midjourney + others of it's ilk…
