[ QUOTE ] Last PC game I bought was HL2, before that Q3. There is yet to be a PC game that has impressed me beyond these. [/ QUOTE ] Personally I didn't find either Quake 3 or Half-Life 2 anything more than amusing side-tracks from my daily routine. I beat both the day I got them too, and then whenever I replay just go…

Seriously though, the pc market is a really weird beast. It drives 3D graphics technology, yet the quality from many developers is piss poor. The id's and the blizzards are the…
Yeah, I think the mistake that many people make is to assume that for 3D generative AI to work, it would need massive amount of 3D models to train on. I think this is incredibly short-sighted, because generative 2D can already create convicing pictures that look like perfect renders (see above). Hence extracting…
