fun fact about the visibility culling that Simplygon does: most game engines *also* hide the backsides of models that aren't supposed to be visible, in real-time - *every* video game model is hollow, and every little polygon that makes it up knows which way is 'out'. One easy way to hide polygons is to simply not draw a polygon on the 'in' side; this is why, when you break out of a game map or fall through the world, you can see through the landscape; you're looking at the 'in' side of the map.

As a 3D Artist, seeing some of these tools look super time efficient. I've used a little Quixel but that tree stuff was phenomenal! I don't work in Games Dev so don't get to use a lot of these, but anything that means I don't have to physically model or texture something really is the best. Basically if it automates my job, its good - just don't tell my manager.
Well, that was unexpected! (I work on Oodle and Bink.) The best feature of the grumptopus is that the tentacles make absolutely no sense! It's a very silly logo but we've gotten kind of attached to it. And one of the Oodle algorithms even made it into hardware! (Oodle Kraken is what the PS5 SSD uses.)
As for how much the tentacles don't make sense: the "dl" and "e" tentacles are literally free-floating. They're not attached to the octopus. They taper to a point at one end, go wider, loop around a bit, and then taper back. Just some disembodied tentacles floating in the ocean next to an octopus trying to practice interpretive dance. I'd be grumpy too. [Once you see it you can't un-see it. I've been aware of this for years and now you too are cursed with this knowledge, dear Internet.]
I honestly thought this would be about the literal first 15 seconds of gameplay but I am pleasantly surprised. I now know what those dumb little logos mean and that makes me happy
The fact that Oodle trolls the devs that license their software with their sh!t@$$ logo is a thing to be marveled.

Almost any program can encode it, and almost any device - your computer, your phone, a 10 dollar knockoff fire stick from Wish - can decode it, can display it, without any issue. The more modern codecs just don't have that widespread support, H265 because of licensing issues and AV1 because it's still being iterated on and there are no hardware encoders for it yet - if you have ever used the 'share / save video' feature on a modern console, that's a hardware encoder on its graphics card at work.
