Megan FoxI'm so freaking happy with how the FX look en masse now. I need to layer more on top, a few rainbow sparkles or something for a pop of color, probably tune the dust a bit, but overall aaahhhh yessss. 🐭⚔️
Simon Rolfmore@glassbottommeg looks awesome! I also love that there’s so much going on that it basically ruins the video encoder 😁
@cloudthethings yeah, it's genuinely something of a head scratcher for how to market the game on video apps, since super huge crowd scenes just flatten encoders
@glassbottommeg I believe slow-mo can help here, if that's an option - give the encoder much less per-frame change to deal with.
@cloudthethings it really isn't, heh
Like the whole point is to show the game as is, not something that makes it look boring and slow
It might work for a single shot in an overall video, but won't do much for the rest
@glassbottommeg I believe the higher-end encoders have some settings to tweak for high-motion video which you could experiment with... do a really high-bitrate capture first then re-encode down to a target with the right thing set.
I currently have plenty of spare time on my hands if you'd like someone to experiment with a bit of footage and see what I can do, given some bitrate targets etc.
@cloudthethings nah - honestly it's fine here, the issue is BlueSky. Their encoder is simply super aggressive in a way I can't defeat?
@glassbottommeg ah, that sucks :(
