New devlog post about exporting voxel models to optimised glTF meshes for Unreal Nanite.

There's a few technical details including some of the work arounds I use for issues with Nanite.

Now that my first game is launched (https://elephantstarballoon.itch.io/the-long-arc), I started playing with rendering a #voxel based model on the #playdate. I'm faking a 3d effect by rendering the layers of the voxels as separate flat sprites. Then I offset each layer to make give it a sense of depth #PixelArt #indiedev

Anyone have any good Voxel Editors that they like in VR?

I tried out VoxVR and BoxelXR recently, and they were both "direct" input styles.

By "direct", I mean the physical position of the cursor was where the block was placed. I haven't seen anybody using raycasts, which I find interesting.

Meanwhile, in the pickle jar

New luanti guide :)

In glTF 2.0 the `emissiveFactor` *must* be between 0 and 1, which isn't very useful since many emissive elements have much wider ranges than this, leading to the extension KHR_materials_emissive_strength which introduces a new property `emissiveStrength`.

It seems UE5 glTF respects a emissiveFactor > 1 so I'm allowing this in the Avoyd exporter.

I am not really sure why this is required to be 0-1 in the spec, nor why the extension didn't just permit a wider range

prolly should've made ðis like 10x slower & wiθ some lofi hiphop
