The Broken Mindset Of Modern Graphics & Optimization | LTT Response With Industry Breakdown (youtu.be)

In this video, we provide context LTT missed in their recent "Raytracing is Now Mandatory" video. We address three overly praised titles and discuss the real definition of optimization.

We then bridge the connection between profits and optimization and end the poor excuse regarding how optimization is too expensive to provide in modern development. We then address the real issues with AI and ray tracing and define the problems with corporate graphic solutions.

I'd settle for them giving up on lighting and effects shit and turning to OTHER graphical benefits. For example animation and fabrics.

Infinity Nikki's focus on getting fabrics right and making clothing actually feel like it's worn by the character instead of being a feature of a model is actually incredible.

It's the difference between a doll that wears real clothes and a fully plastic action figure and given that games increasingly monetise off of cosmetics the focus on improving these things would be really nice.
