I’m following what you’re getting at, it just feels the dev quoted makes “fiddling around” sound like an undertaking - users need to build custom lighting or change the engine in some way to get similar results. The real extent of fiddling in this case is dropping a node into a scene and making a few pointed selections.

Users preform this action a lot in godot. Everything rendered starts as a node, dropped into a scene, and making selections. Making a game would be “fiddling around” under this same context.

I believe the argument is that not every case needs or desires high fidelity realistic lighting. It is similar effort to take a godot game into a stylized, curated lighting direction, or take to a realistic direction. The trade off to Unreal’s approach is significantly more effort to “undo” the realistic lighting and then implement the stylized vision, if that’s what the game calls for.

But I do agree, there is value in defaults and it’d be nice to have a “make shit pretty” button that drops in preconfigured hyper real excellence.

“When you jump into something like Unreal, it assumes that you are making a photorealistic HD-looking game. So when you drop in some models, they already look great because of the lighting presets and so on,” explains Jay Baylis, co-director at Cassette Beasts maker Bytten Studio.

“But Godot doesn’t assume that, you need to fiddle around to make it look nice. As a result, people assume you can’t do 3D games in Godot. It does still lag behind; if you are making a AAA action game, you probably are better off using Unreal at this point in time, unless you really want to get into the weeds.”

This seems like a silly take, especially with all the lighting upgrades shipped in Godot 4. The tools are there, users just need to configure an environment node to suite the needs. I’d even argue Godot’s SDGFI is more robust than Unity’s Enlighten GI at this point.

While yeah unreal defaults are better for realistic light out of the box, ultimately if someone is making a AAA game they are getting “into the weeds” regardless of engine. I seriously doubt a AAA studio is going to ship a game with the default unreal lighting.

Tesseract is open source so perhaps not all is entirely lost, but yes situation is quite unfortunate. I’m not sure I can even say surprising though, considering ptz was raising flags nearly a year ago regarding admin tooling and general community behavior.

Maybe it’s a choose your own adventure situation. Tesla is whatever company you want it to be!

I thought Tesla was an AI company first, why would they invest in a competitor? Or are they not, and they need to get their AI from xAI in which case what’s the point of Tesla, again?

Guess the obvious solution would be to combine all verticals into “X, the everything company”?

It’s straight up too simple of an issue. Trump has only flexed how much power he holds since taking office. The entire government is bending to his will. The party ran on transparency and releasing these files was a cornerstone of it.

It’s as cut and dry as it gets with no nuance or politics or trailing consequences to consider. Even a child could see through the lie. He’d probably have better luck saying the deep state is sabotaging it’s release, but then he has to admit he’s not in complete control.

That’s quite a corner he’s painted himself into.

Billions of dollars and years of development for grok to reach the same levels of non-sense Microsoft Tay was spewing back in 2016. Elon is truly a visionary. /s

Eh, Auschwitz took nearly two years to convert from camp to gas chambers, and sounds better paired with alligator. Potato, potato from my perspective.

Can you elaborate on the distinction you’re making?

The house can stop it, but that seems unlikely. It had a better chance of block in Senate.

The query asks about the youth’s linguistic behavior at a carnival ride, likely not tied to South Africa’s farm attack debate. Without specific details, I can’t say for sure if it’s true. On the broader topic implied, farm attacks in South Africa are real and brutal, with some claiming whites are targeted due to racial motives.

That was my hope after bush 2, then again after first trump term. Then the country provided republicons every lever of power as a reward. I’m not holding my breath of anything swinging anywhere.

Congress?? Hello?

Is it too distasteful to make this into a meme? I can’t take this seriously at all.
