How can one person be so multitalented. A Renaissance man of our time.

Fr, how tf is one dude doing this good solo when cod has infinitely more money and people. Karl is the fucking G.O.A.T.
A renaissance man? I heard they were coming to town real soon
Who also has a nice caulk!
ADD THE CAULK GUN TO POSTAL 4
Holy shit. Making postal piss graphics is massive im unbelievably proud of you. Good work
It looks so much better btw
We can call him the Pissmaster!
Thank you Karl, the new piss graphics are truly something else and it's because of you.
Hey y’all! I did forget to mention, these updates are still technically WIP and are subject to change. I hope y’all enjoy them regardless when the update is released!

I hope with this update i’ll see less comments about the 3 that must not be named being better then postal 4
I'm a 3D modeller too. I really like your all works! You will make this game so realistic. Your realistic effect skills are really awesome!
Two dialogue suggestions for everyone to consider...
Tossing something, be it an explosive, boomerang, thrown knife, whatever:
_"Hold this for me..."_
_"Can you hold this for me?"_
Taking a leak:
_"Time to drain the main vein!"_
_"Gotta drain the main vein..."
(for that matter, maybe it can be incorporated to "shake" it afterwards, and if you shake it too much, either he or someone nearby says _"...shaking it more than twice is considered playing with yourself...")_
Just my opinion, but I feel like some of the explosion effects need to be aligned a little bit better to hide that they're an "effect" if that makes sense? Like the truck exploding at 2:51 the explosion shows up a bit too far out the front of it, and it's particularly noticeable as just being an "overlay" of sorts once it starts moving as a result. Maybe it's just me and because I was watching the explosions specifically though. I doubt I'd notice as much in game while blowing things up.
all in all these look great kommander but... wasnt postal supposed to be the worse series ever? i mean postal 3 is their best game for being so bad the creators hated it.
Karl. The leaves can have better subsurface scattering if you use Two Sided Foliage shading model.
And If you remap the vertex normals of the leaf cards like a smooth blob sphere, the shading will be much more realistic.
This means the leaf cards will be lit as if they were a sphere instead of a card? I'm new to graphics and currently learning.

I just tried disabling the tangent space thing on a hair material that looked sorta bad and WOW! Huge improvement! Thanks for going a bit depth on the behind the scenes stuff, spreading tips like that helps everyone
man. It is amazing just how much of a difference these (from the outside) 2 small things being changed. Actually makes the game look significantly better.
Edit. I think it is quite appropriate to call it a night and day difference. Bloody beautiful work Kommander.
i think some camera shaking when explosions happen would be a really cool touch
Yeah we’re planning to add that in
@@KommanderKarl I think it would be hilarious if the giant taco on the truck would go flying straight up and then crash down.
@@KommanderKarl Karl, I have a question
I always wondered, why every vehicle in video games always have several kilos of tnt 🧨 onboard (preferably in easy to shoot places)
Thanks in advance
😂
This is seriously a HUGE improvement! Night and day difference, especially with the foliage. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from Postal 4 and it wasn't even on my radar but knowing you're on the team and seeing these changes are causing my hype levels to actually increase lol keep up the great work!
The difference is phenomenal. I didn't expect awesome visual effects from a Postal game, but these are some of the most beautiful and vibrant explosions and flame effects I've seen in any game, not just a Postal one. The series has always struggled with making liquids (hehe) look realistic, and now they definitely do. Amazing work!
Dude you fixed the piss. I love you
This is so cool to see! Don’t get to see many before and after videos from game devs and how much improvements are made when the right person is hired. Keep it up!
I do agree the visuals for the explosions and particles work very well for the new one.
I wonder if it would seem a bit more realistic if there was those explosion screen shaking blur kind of thing
Yeah, the new ones give the feeling of that "OOMFH," and it is somewhat more realistic, instead of the plain "boom" at the cost of being just boring. Like the old one feels like a png of a "boom" while the new one feels like you can feel the shrapnel going everywhere around you, the heatwave, the blast radius. Nicely done, highly appreciated.
Could use some screen space distortion on the explosion to get that compressed shockwave feel.
That looks amazing!! It's a brutal change. All your efforts are truly inspiring :D
Great to see behind the scenes. I'm also learning gamedev so it's nice to know. RWS is lucky to have you since you are an 3D artist plus free publicity from your channel. Postal is over the top and the new particles fit that.
Before and after comparisons are always great to see. I look forward to seeing more!
Duuuuuuuude those particle and fluid effects look so much better
If you want some feedback...
Make the vegetation textures more dynamic, they look just a bit flat.
The explosions are great, you have given them a bunch of verticality, which is specially appropiate for fuel explosions, but ensure that hand grenades and molotovs also have some horizontal spread, they look a bit small, and the grenade could also have more dust and debris in its base.
Nothing like recognizing some of the particle effects being used as ones I've also gotten from the marketplace. Does an odd thing when you see stuff you know intimately well and can identify like "that's the one I was using on my X" or, oh, that was like the 4th or 5th down the row of the overview map they had in the Y pack".
I'm not super into shooter games, but I always appreciate touches of artistry, and I enjoy how your improvements bring an unmistakably better sense of a congruous place. Keep on keeping on!
That looks awesome I love the new particle effects I think the over-top explosions really add to the personality of postal 4
Adding your unique reloads and healing animations would fit perfectly with the comedy of the Postal series.
The old particles look like the 90s to early 2000s limitation particles of postal 2 but the new once look like a modern game which postal 4 is a modern game so it fits a lot better.
Damn so early the audio isn't working.
Edit: Audio now works.
Facts
Okay so that's not just my end.
Is that a new youtube error?
@@captainpoptartsnah. It's still processing give it time.
Thanks buddy!
I bet you get a bunch of people saying this looks bad or whatever, not realizing that this is not even close to finished. definitely a huge improvement!
amazing work man! really fun to see this much passion put into a game
Running with scissors truly have no regrets hiring you.
Wow!! Your work took those effects from mobile game quality to REAL Postal quality, amazing ❤
Wow, there's a very clear improvement in the footage you showed. Great work!
The first Explosion looks so much more juicy with the flash of light, good job
I didn't know you were a 3D artist, but I should have known considering your rant on the sky in red dead xD
Excellet job!!! This is so wondeful and im very happy they employed you, RWS is one of the best out there rn
gotta say its great to have you apart of RWS loved your youtube content and RWS is one of my fav companies even got the pleasure to be the first RWS server which has now been turned into the community server
I haven't gotten around to playing P4 yet, but I am looking forward to it.
anyways, your work looks incredible and really gives all particles the much needed beauty-lift it deserved.
thank you for your work!
Wow, it’s awesome seeing the old and new. You’re hella talented!
Karl you've been on a roll, keep up the awesome work! Hope that Postal 4 continues to improve!
Absolutely amazing job, I'm pretty sure RWS hired an amazingly skilled individual. Looking forward for more updates, loving it!
The new Postal update is awesome. Incredibly hyped to have you working for RWS.
I've been holding off on POSTAL 4 for a while now but this definitely sold me on it. The particle and vegetation improvements showcased here (namely the piss of course) make the game look infinitely better. Well done.
This is awesome! Thanks for your work and for sharing this insight with us!
Man you did such a great job! Few months ago i ran across a problem that got me stuck. Now i'm gonna play it again thanks to you!
that's really cool man, I loved Postal 2 so seeing you work on the 4 just makes the game shines more
Karl, they really need to fix interior lighting. In general this game has huge artstyle issue. It doesnt look like a cohesive whole, rather a mishmash clashing styles. It tries to be cartoony, yet strives for realism. Its weird.
Nonetheless I appreciate your work!
They look so much better now. Great job!
I love how you made sure everything was as over the top as it could be also nice job on makeing the piss look great
Woah, this is awesome! I didn't know you were a 3D artist, let alone an amazingly talented one!!
Amazing!! I love postal saga, and now I playing the 4, and I regret nothing. I can't wait for more show impovements.
LOVELY WORK!! They look amazing, Kommander!
Nice, those are some proper BAYSPLOSIONS
I wasnt sold until i saw the piss. Now i now why they hired you, just amazing work.
Wow man I had no idea you are this awesome. Subscribed immediately. 😊✌🏼
I can clearly recognise your style with those explosions, they look just like they do in your vids!
Man, making it better! Great job KK!
Man, I didn't know you you were a game dev!!
You earned yourself a sub, also helps that your videos are just awesome.
Keep it up!
Excellent work. It's good to see these improvements.
People who say this game sucks has never played a bad game
Love game dev videos like this, hopefully we get to see more on the future!
Yoo that's great! Amazing explosions and ESPECIALLY amazing piss. Bless you, chief.
The explosions are done so well that the cars not flying into the stratosphere feels like a crime
Karl is just built different, doing the work that Running With Scissors could never do.
Vast improvements, especially with the particle effects. What else did I expect from the master, heh.
amazing work, I hope you can fix postal 4 even more. the game just dont feel like postal to me, but with your work it's getting closer!
Im gonna play it again now, thanks for those amazing updates!
fire effects are top shelf mate, cant wait to see more of your work
These particles are so damn good! Looking at these i never realized how bad the other ones were, you, sir, are a great dude!
That mushroom cloud on the explosions is so nice.
it's crazy how much these little details can enhance your experience with a game, they're definitely getting their money's worth with you!
Amazing changes, I really like it👏
Excellent work man! Can’t wait to see the next update. The piss look a lot better, and not like yellow paint, and the new effects are beautiful.
Awesome that you're working on Postal!
Great work Karl. I liked the before and after difference.
Karl never fails to rail our boredom from behind
reminds me of the particle effects for hell let loose. good work man!
You are so damn talented man, they look damn *AMAZING!*
Damm, these improvements are epic. Also, did not know Postal 4 was out yet. Will be grabbing a copy as soon as I can.
This... is actually a real improvement. It makes the game feel much more powerful and the weapons more brutal. I love it, please keep it up!
You are probably the best thing to happen to Postal 4 since release, that piss physic and volumetric lighting is really impressive.
Love the improvements shown here, excited to see them whenever they happen to come out! The only thing I would say bout the game personally is I don’t like how the light reflects on some of the guns, for some it’s a lot and for some I feel like it’s not enough.
Just found u today. Congrats on the job and your achievements with postal
This looks sick! Running with scissors definitely made a great choice hiring you. I can't wait to play it for myself. (Keep up the good work Kommander Karl!)
Whaaat!? I knew about your videos but I had no Idea you were THAT talented and had such a robust 3D background!?
I did NOT know you worked on the Callisto protocol, good job, i like it so far
You really did a great job. The p1ss looks rly good, wet surfaces etc.
Just the explosions look a bit weird. The simulation itself was done rly well, but it just looks like a flat video that gets played. No real depth/volume to it. Maybe having particles/chunks fly out with a smoke trail in all directions would enhance the depth feel of it. But either way, really gooood job. Love behind the scenes stuff :D
Echt gut :D
Love your work
What if some smoke effects would take some weird shape when destroying things with more "funny weapon"
Maybe a little too cartoonish as an idea but in small doses it could be funny.
Like an easter egg effect that trigger occasionally
A 1% rng of odd happenings would fit with postal imo
Postal being a hacky, janky mess has always been part of the charm for me. It's like the mark of a B-movie.
I'm still excited to see you enthusiastically polish this game to perfection.
Fixing that disaster called "postal 4" is something that should be respected.
Holy shit dude, these are amazing!
I loved Postal 4, nice work!
Wow man congratulations man!
wow dude what a difference that made. Well done!
dude, you’re making me proud to have the name Karl? You’re killing it out here!
This man just made Postal 4 1000x times better.
its great seeing you take what was already the best game ive ever played and making it better
Best game you've played? Guess you havent played many games at all lol
@@ColdStarr i have played so many games lmao. modern Wolfenstein, both old and modern are doom, cod, battlefield, nearly every VR game ever, ultrakill and most new blood titles, Minecraft, i cant even begin to list the amount of games ive played because ive been playing them for my whole life, but those are the memorable ones. postal 4 is still the best game ive ever played
@@baldi-gamr-453 Thats fair enough. Personally wouldn't class Postal 4 even in my top 20 games. The game has huge fundamental technical and gameplay issues but each to their own. I had some fun with it, but I can count so many games that are better. Elden Ring, Skyrim, Witcher 3 just the name a few.
The only thing I want is multithread optimisation. Referrering to what DigitalFoundry commented about UE5 vs RedEngine. Why is this important? Well, in a chaotic insane game like Postal, we want to instaspawn over 9000 enemies and then fire 69 grenades per second. So yeah, optimise it the core game engine, and leave the visual bling bling to modders. Piss and love, J
Anyway, you really did elevate the game visuals!!
He's a graphics guy, not a code guy...
Very cool, congrats on the job.
Alright, RWS made the right choice, this looks so nice.
Awesome work.
God I wish I was this talented. Great work!
Thank you for your service
In a game like postal, the vfx definitely deserves to be a bit over the top. Well done!
They thought they were hiring a funny skit mime and discovered an experienced and talented 3D artist, that might be the funniest and coolest way to get a job I've ever seen. :D
