Amuse AI stared to clearly mark models as commercial and non-commercial, which is a very good move (unfortunately, commercial-ready model Flux 1 is huge and requires 24GB VRAM).

For casual game developers they have a nice depth/normals extractor, that can help with materials making. And yes, it's free and works fast on any hardware.

Overall, it's still a fast and easy to use all-in-one app, sponsored by AMD and accelerated with the new Radeon and Ryzen AI chips.

Hey, this lecture is so… Unreal!

Epic Games is making path tracing better and so UE5 is more and more dependent on temporal solutions. But in this case, it can't be done differently to achieve such level of accuracy.

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the FBI asked developers to stop using the “memory-unsafe” C and C++ programming languages.

They are used by almost every app you are using, including compilers for other languages and the environments to run them. Unreal, Unity, Godot, Blender, and almost all game engines and graphics editing apps are made with C and C++.

Suggesting this is technically impossible and exceptionally expensive for the whole IT and game industry.

Can you stop using gravity and this whole 9.8m/s²? People and items are falling, some are even dying! What a monster are you?!

Rostyslav Zagornov blamed 11 bit studios and the freelance artist Steven Stone in direct theft of one of his old works to build up Frostpunk: Beyond the Ice. (shitty mobile game) official concept arts. It's obvious, that at least for this flying ship Steven used a copy of what Rostyslav created for his An-Laenort visual novel.

Within the game, several stolen pieces are shown as backgrounds on loading screens.

Imagine The Day Before, episode 2: this time a non-existent "company" is making yet another game that is too good to be true... it's a GTA VI ripoff that tries to get some $$$ and your personal data:

Everyone asked and so they made a blog post about it:

And it's somehow the shittiest text written by the most corporate language possible despite such an amazing topic to truly unwrap.

Userbenchmark, the very questionable hardware comparison tool, known for its hate against AMD Ryzen, is down. Right before that they posted notorious bullshit about Ryzen 9800X3D, something like:

All reviews are fake, the 0.1% are actually horrible, everyone is lying, Intel is the best! 🤡

Finally, GIMP 3 is now at Release Candidate stage — you can actually use it in production!

💡 The most important change is the support of non-destructive modifiers for layers and text. Before all the modifications were instantly baked into the image, which was a huge pain, compared to Photoshop.
