This my contribution to the mid 2020s trend of filming music videos in empty office buildings.

Wowee hello hi! So. This is how I offically unveil the design for my Kayne!

I spent many a month modelling him for my college work and I'm super proud of how he came out! This post will contain all final renders, a 360 showcase and my process as it came- alongside credits for every artist that inspired me!

Credits belong to: @milodoodlesstuff @thatdrumbotperson @deadbaguette @corvidaeconundrum @bogbites @nostalgink @geckoneco @nyxfaei ! Thank you all for letting me use your designs to inspire my own!!

Expect more content of this guy going forwards 🙏

My Favourite Part of The Gameoverse Pilot:

As a game dev I had to rewind this moment multiple times, because they've used actual Unreal Engine style graph-coding for the shield's wiring layout, and made sure it actually MAKES SENSE! The shields aren't working because someone made an actually believable wiring mistake, and the way we see Kaboodle rewire everything is accurate, too! Someone over on Reddit was kind enough to label the specific nodes being used:

But what REALLY delighted me was how Kaboodle's technobabble here isn't babble! He's accurately describing a REAL rendering problem that goes on to have ACTUAL impacts! Allow me to break down the terminology, then explain what exactly he's saying:

"Texels" are a texturing technique used to render surface details on textures, and are generally used when you need to overlay an effect on top of a texture, like making something look wet/dirty, or in this case making the shield's texture display impact/damage effects when it gets hit. It's important texel density matches the underlying texture's "scale topography," because otherwise the visuals won't line up or scale properly. "Pre-baking" meanwhile refers to the technique of having the game engine run all the necessary calculations for an effect BEFORE the game runs, so you don't slow down the game by trying to calculate that stuff during gameplay. The trade-off of this technique is that every time the developer modifies an effect (like fixing the shield's faulty wiring) they have to take the time to re-bake it. "LOD" means "Level of Detail," and it's a technique where you create multiple versions of a texture/model with different levels of quality and swap between them depending on how close the camera is. This ensures you don't waste resources rendering fancy details the player is too far away to even see, but the trade-off is that they increase baking time, since instead of calculating one model/texture for each asset, the engine needs to calculate several models/textures of varying quality.

SO! What Kaboodle's saying here is that after he's done rewiring the shield's code, they'll either need to re-bake all its visual effects, OR figure out how to make all those effects cheap enough to run in real time without heavily impacting how they look. Both options take time which they currently don't have, and Kaboodle's concerns are immediately proven right when the ship gets shot down before the shields can finish rendering.

What's craziest to me is that they didn't HAVE to do any of this. For 98% of viewers, it's just technobabble and an indecipherable mess of wires. Ross and his team took the time to do this specifically for the few people like myself who'd recognize it, and that sort of attention to detail runs all throughout the pilot. Like if you pay attention during Flapper's gameplay segments and boss fights, you can see actual thought went into his game's design and mechanics. We always see a mechanic get introduced in a level before it becomes the necessary way to defeat a boss, and the final battle with Snappers uses ALL the game's previously-established mechanics! They don't just say it's a video game, they actually make it WORK like a video game!
