Cameron Lee @Cameron__Lee

It's a rough day for a Dev when you realize a stick has more gameplay variety then many video games.

WUT?

 

I guess Cameron has time on his hands to write tweets that says nothing instead on concentrating on managing.

 

Does this mean the game is in "good hands"?

Well, here you are reading tweets and posting on a forum, so I guess that means whatever it is you're in charge of isn't in good hands either.

For those interested in seeing what the Frostbite team has been working on for PBR sky/clouds/day/night (MEA and SecretIP related) - here's a presentation they gave at Siggraph 2016 (1:17:00 - 1:43:00)

For everyone except BSNers, it takes less time to write a tweet than eat a candy bar, so not related to productivity, no.

LOL

I was wondering when you'd show up. In case you missed it, I retired at 55.  I paid my dues and then some. 

 

Cameron is working for a living. I had no idea that today, managers have time to tweet and tweeting about nothing I might add... could be part of his managerial responsibilities, though. ... tweet nothing, I mean.

Hair topic starts at 2:15, for those that are interested.

That presentation was for the Unreal Engine though, not Frostbite...

True.

 

However, the math for hair rendering and penalties depending on math choices are the same.  That is, real time rendering of hair lighting can make brutal demands on the GPU, depending on the quality you wish to project.

 

Unreal or Frostbite have to go through similar processes to render hair. He was able to use modified algorithms with constants to approximate what the hair strand should look like when light is shined on it. His approximations wasn't bad either, from the reference.

 

I have a better appreciation for these guys.

 

If you go back to Ryder's hair, Bio took a blocky approach, rather than a more granular one. It makes sense, if the target hardware is "weak".  I'm sure ME:A will have Med, High and Ultra for hair shading. Though I hope the studio can avoid plastic looking barbie hair.

Taking short breaks throughout the day is good for productivity and good for one's mental health. Especially for a manager; if he needs to be around 24/7 for something, then he's not delegating well enough.

Point being, more tweets da better.

I was just cheekily finding a way to keep my post on topic.

Actual point, there's nothing wrong with Cam taking a short break to make a silly tweet. Chances are, in this day and age, he's logging in from home after core hours to answer emails and whatnot all the time and clocking in more than 40 hours a week.

Ooo, I forgot SIGGRAPH posts stuff on Youtube... I'll have to look through the channel. I wish I could go every year, but alas, 'tis expensive.

 

(Also, friendly reminder that most of these tweets are from personal accounts - there's nothing official about them. If a game dev wants to take 10 seconds to write a thought he had about game development on his personal account, it's not really any of our futzing business.)

Chilling beside @AarynFlynn during a playtest, watching him play like a boss. Quite appropriate I suppose.

 

@ForgedPixels I'm sure you guys tweaked the settings, but thanks regardless :)

Don't think so, Visceral's will be the next big Star Wars game. I think 'Javelin' is BioWare's new IP, because that word is very BioWare-like. BioWare tends to reuse the same 'cool' words over and over again.

Yeah, I think so as well. And I would be really disappointed if Secret IP was just another Star Wars game.
