[THREAD] Videos from #GodotCon Brussels 2019
Thanks to @czlowiekimadlo we could stream GodotCon talks, and user Rayos sent me edited versions for each of them, which I'm now uploading with a detailed outline. I'll post links whenever they're online, and the playlist eventually.
First talk on Feb 4 was from Paweł Fertyk of Miskatonic Studio, talking about his experience with 3D features of Godot while developing his first game, #Intrepid (which you can play on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/992860/Intrepid/)
#GodotCon #GodotEngine
The next talk was a great demo by @PawelMogila on how to use a shader to compute particle collisions on the GPU.
We sadly had a problem with the stream at that time, so this one is a phone recording.
#GodotCon #GodotEngine
We then had a presentation by Aleksandar Gavrilović explaining why his studio Gamechuck decided to move from GM:S 1.4 to Godot, the tests they made to validate their decision and some of the concerns it raises. #GodotCon #GodotEngine
Our lead developer Juan Linietsky @reduz then did the extended version of his @fosdem talk about making a high quality 3D game with #FOSS tools (#GodotEngine #b3d #GIMP), showing how Godot's new TPS demo was made. #GodotCon
Jānis Mancēvičs from @rocknight_studios showed us the Visual Debugger plugin that he's been working on recently, which lets you debug and design your games directly with an in-game debugger overlay. #GodotCon #GodotEngine
Finally, we ended the first day with Bojidar Marinov @bojidar_bg's demo on how to extract reusable components from your scenes to improve flexibility and maintainability. #GodotCon #GodotEngine
[THREAD] Videos from the 2nd day of #GodotCon Brussels 2019. Thanks again to all the speakers for their talks, @czlowiekimadlo for the livestream and Rayos for the editing. Here's the thread for the 1st day if you missed it: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@akien/101591319557428865 #GodotEngine
Looks great! #GodotEngine has really come a long way. The triplanar textured, geometry based modelling part of the video was especially useful.
@[email protected] mentions that there's no #FOSS alternative to #SubstancePainter though. Is he aware of #ArmorPaint? Binaries are not gratis, but the project and code is #FOSS / #libre.
@Blort @reduz He's aware of ArmorPaint, but AFAIK he's not convinced that it will ever be a professionally relevant alternative to Substance Painter. He mostly advocates for such features to become part of Blender itself, and the Blender devs seem to agree.
I can't judge about ArmorPaint myself, I never tried it.
Any idea of what kind of hardware (especially graphics card) this was presented on? I'm curious given how Juan was saying that you didn't really need to worry about how much geometry you use on modern graphics cards. O.O
I mean, the demo looks gorgeous. I'm just wondering about the kind of hardware it needs to run decently.
Once it's finalized, I'd love to see it included in Phoronix Test Suite...
@Blort That was on an Nvidia GTX 1060 I think, so relatively high end.
But Juan's point was only about geometry itself, not about all the fancy rendering features that can then be applied and make the performance tank down.
