Mocap Tech by Day, Game Dev by Night 1/2 @ AngelDuckDigital ________________________________________ #GameDev #Blender3D #Unity twitch.tv/TomuDev

The problem with this tech that's never going to go away is that it's going to regress to the Mean, meaning whatever the data set is trained on (ie well lit subject with perfect skins, high contrast, muted colors) is all going to fuck with the intent of the art direction and make everything look like a Soupy Nothing Burger visually, that turns everyone schizophrenic because character faces are going to be the same between scenes
DLSS 5 discourse is just another indication that the industry is cannibalizing itself. Investors care about realism, because they're deeply unimaginative and dont care about art. Realistic graphics have been a short hand for "high quality", but it's led to the first $1B game budget and decades long dev cycles that skip entire hardware generations. At the end of the day, these are "products" higher-ups and investors will never engage with because they don't play games and don't understand their appeal. It's just money to them
