These factors include improvements in graphics, lighting, physics, animation, and scalability. This, together with dynamic or baked-in lighting and shadows, enables the creation of amazing photorealistic material that nevertheless operates in real time. For its materials and graphics, it employs the widely used PBR technique.

Due to these roadblocks, we decided to rewrite the importer fully and tailor it to Godot, instead of trying to keep things generic as done in Assimp - Assimp can importer dozens of file formats, which is great, but imposes many restrictions on the support of individual complex formats like FBX, especially for animations. Pivots are hard.

This is a clip of the Heider-Simmel animation. How can I get this NPC to convey a specific emotion if I don’t have that specific animation in my toolbox? How should I space out my content to create the pacing I want? And that’s humans! That’s what we do. We are all storytellers to some extent. Organization.

Bianca manually did the retopology for the nymph, unwrapped and laid out the maps, baked the details, and started to spend time learning more about texturing in Substance Painter.

Doing it before starting the actual game would mean to already generate all the content that needs to be batched at the beginning, which is no solution for a theoretically “endless procedurally generated” terrain.  When batched, the animations from the Advanced Foliage Shader go a bit crazy and make the grass float around.

New vertex formats allow many more custom shaders and cases to take advantage of batching than before, and optional 2D software skinning has been added which should allow using 2D skeletal animation on a far wider range of hardware than was previously available.

So in April 2022, I quit my job to work on making animated short films full-time. X-Wing animation using Control Rigs. I spent a week trying to figure out how to use a Control Rig to drive the undercarriage animation of my X-Wing models before giving up and just baking the animation into its own asset, which I can reuse easily.

Here you can see the Sponza demo model, with baked direct lighting, and the corresponding light map: Note that this first pass is not taking occlusion into account yet. Motion matching is one of the latest features in game animation which is quite revolutionary. Usually, setting up a basic animation system needs a lot of work and time.

where the main drawback is you're still vulnerable during the 2 second execution animation. Or at worst, they are leftover consequences of the design and they had to fudge some random content for it. This ties into a common complaint: the melee weapon machete is very powerful, like a 1-3 hit kill (maybe 10-15 hits against a boss?)
