I'm just gonna step out of the way...and let this trailer for Riot Games' & Netflix's Season 2 of Arcane do the talking. Just kidding...I have thoughts: "Final Chapter?!" - Why though? This series is deserving of much more (100% on Rotten Tomatoes, 9/10 on IGN Entertainment)...so hopefully the "chapter" they refer to is this specific arc (maybe the rivalry of Vi and Jinx?). Vi: "My sister is gone." Vi: "JINX!!!" Jinx: "...finally got the name right." They're not slow playing this one, are they? The November timing gives us all plenty of time to rewatch Season One. I could be imagining this, but the art style seems a little less "PTOW!" and a bit more mature. Don't get me wrong, I loved everything about S1 - especially the art (unique amalgam of a variety of comic/manga/game aesthetics)...but as the story gets more intense...and intentional...it would make sense for the art to narrow in a bit as well. We'll see...I don't expect to fully grok that from 91 seconds on YouTube...but I really liked what I saw. My expectations are very high now...and I'm not going to lower them. Setting myself up for disappointment? Maybe...but Fortiche Production has proven themselves...many times. You know those super cool videos from Gorillaz? Yup...those are Fortiche. For those of you worried that you need to be a League of Legends gamer (or even a gamer at all) to understand the story...you don't. I promise. Arcane is top-tier television. I put it up there with Last of Us and Fallout, in the game adaptation category. Alright...NOW i'll get out of the way and let the trailer do the talking. Enjoy!

Hi there everyone, I am starting a video series about our game's development. I hope this video and post series will reach too many people so we can get feedbacks from you lovely people.

Loved the movie! How great was the wormriding? Now can’t wait to play the game :) —“Towards the beginning of the Dune: Awakening Direct, at approximately 4:24, Chief Creative Officer Joel Bylos describes Unreal Engine 5 as "obviously one of the better choices." Bylos praises the flexibility and graphical fidelity that the engine provides, dedicating time to highlighting how Funcom is utilizing Lumen and Nanite for lighting and rendering respectively. Anyone familiar with Unreal Engine 5 tech demos will recognize both features, which have been heavily advertised as major selling points for the technology. Greig Fraser, a cinematographer who worked on both Dune movies, described how even the film crew used Unreal to plan and visualize particularly complex scenes.” [source https://lnkd.in/eKNs6X6G] Dune Awakening Direct Link -> https://lnkd.in/eHBKZky8 https://lnkd.in/ecTT3iQt #gamedev #ue5 #nanite #lumen #dune

My 7th compilation of kineticons... this one appears more intricate and complex in its animation as I have used Blender geometry nodes to define the animations themselves. By end of day you might be able to see the HDR version too. Right now only the 1080p version is viewable. I also used my own compositions (almost from ten years ago) to accompany the clips with some form of makeshift "music" score. https://lnkd.in/e8Y4-wcQ
