Hot tech art tip for the day: ETC2 texture format are mostly meant for actual RGB content, if you use it to compress non-RGB texture, especially if you are into channel swizzling, things can go horribly wrong. #gamedev #techart

A look behind the scenes of the mirrors in Sims 4, how efficient they cull objects and that they reflect invisible walls: https://simonschreibt.de/gat/sims-4-mirrors/

Still looking a fix for the artifacts caused from procedural textures due the lack of mipmaps. #UnrealEngine #UE5 #TechArt

If you know any other tricks/workaround besides DDX/DDY AA, RenderTarget or custom fix per shape like the BenGolus one: https://bgolus.medium.com/the-best-darn-grid-shader-yet-727f9278b9d8 , let me know please.

I tried this trick somebody mentioned for add AA using DDX/DDY in SDF shapes, and besides it improves a bit, it just adds some gradient but still on far view you can see there is noise. #UnrealEngine #UE5 #TechArt

Btw, i let here in case somebody is interested on it.

Updated my old Occlusion article because I saw this "custom" AO by placing meshes and a simple texture in addition to the SSAO ins Sims 4: https://simonschreibt.de/gat/deus-ex-occlusion/#update2

The sparkles on water are Sims 4 is NOT part of the water shader but a glittery particle system on top. I noticed it since I encountered a small issue where the water is culled incorrectly. Had to add it as update to my old "Scribble Cel" article: https://simonschreibt.de/gat/scribble-cel/#update2

Looking at game rendering with profilers is sometimes very entertaining. :)

Atm, best shader to remove noisy artifacts:
https://bgolus.medium.com/the-best-darn-grid-shader-yet-727f9278b9d8

Bugs: Different visuals if i look in X or Y axis ¿?
X: Lines goes more fat, but they are stable,
Y: They looks as it should in distance but jazzing due TAA

Any idea whats happening?

Due procedural textures lacks of mipmaps, how to fix them in the material? Is to avoid in far view looks noisy.

All without use the TextureSample/Texture object trick.

Any idea? #UnrealEngine #UE5 #TechArt #Indiedev
