Dude a lot of people i hold in high regard have respected you for a LONG time and think this whole thing is garbage. DLSS 5 is clearly an overvearing ai image generation. Its not just "supersampling" anymore. This is FUNDAMENTALLY gross and needs to be ernestly criticized.

What the fuck do you think made people join this site in the first place lol
We know who's paying you. It's your venture capitalists. Whatcha think will happen after a massive exodus, projecting the site to be a failure?
You're betting that wont happen. Hope you're prepared to be dead wrong.
yeah uh no.
The video Owen linked is an incredible showcase of Adam and Swirsky doing this, though I wanted to show how sometimes its even worth breaking apart the form manually for an extra bit of layering and visual hierarchy. Requires a lot more work, but it can pay off esp. when the art is largely flat.
🤝 well said
On castle we used lotsa "microgradiation" & for cuts that were absolutely essential to get right, especially scenes with a low amount of movement, we'd dress out the character art with polish dramatically. It's a value add that IS noticeable.
One such example:
bsky.app/profile/dani...
If @oweeeeendennis.bsky.social just wants a preset that takes in a color & a midtone i can whip something up but it'd be reallly basic LOL, if you dont mind an example tomorrow!
...on an above layer, doing something like the original colors set to "luminance" blend mode and adjusting it to half or w/e feels right. This will get you most of the way there. It wont account for some things we often want to do like darker midtones for silk etc getting washed out, but its a start
my own *personal* preferences though include slapping down some color cards set to multiply and/or overlay of the background color mixed in with the sun color (mayyyybe setting the sun one to add, since thats how it works IRL), and doing the same but darker for the shadow tones, then...
🤔the question is confusing, are yall asking a quick way to get characters to match the background color generally?
Yeah there really isn't a one and done way to do that, certainly no plugin that does it. What we usually do is separate the midtones and shadows & just kinda... wing it 😂
Felt.
You'll get there dude.
It feels incredibly special to be included in this. Thanks y'all.
Ten years ago, today, released a game that dramatically changed the course of my life. It's given me friends and relationships I wouldn't have had otherwise, strengthened my bond with many others, and inspired me in so many ways I can't even begin to count.
Happy bday Undertale, what a work of art.

Hello from Washington DC, where hundreds of people and what seems like an unreasonable amount of police are assembling for the We Are All DC March
This is the first pre-planned, DC-focused protest since the occupation began. Let's see how this goes
