1/2 I can't afford to attend in 2024... but I can probably afford in 2024. Traveling conferences should be the norm for non-regional conferences in the USA, not the exception. Does it take more time and preparation? Absolutely. Would it cost less? Possibly. It would lower the cost of entry and not fiscally harm students or other unsponsored entrants to use other venues in less expensive cities. Can we do better? I think so.

Anyone on here know about ?

I've got this problem where I have a graph which I want to automatically layout. I have some example layouts which I want to train it with. I just don't have the first clue about how to formulate it, validate it, tweak it. Even though I've been programming for 25 years and I have a degree in Maths, I'm bewildered.

The wider context: it's a power system network, and I want to layout substations.

Where to begin?

Hi , it’s been 10 years since we use PBR in game production, yet I still have this lingering question, a question I was unable to answer after reading so many guides and so many /#SIGGRAPH talks:

- If you use PBR, but doesn’t aim at 100% hyper-realism (“maybe 85% real”), when your art director tells you, this physically correct material look too dark/bright, do you convince them to adjust exposure curve, or do you change the texture albedo to satisfy the stylization need?

Pls help.

Check out this GDC talk from last year on solo development. I really liked the first presenter's thoughts on getting started with a project as a solo dev. I hope someone else finds this as inspiring as I did.
