Signed in here for the first time in ages just to say that LEGO Fortnite is an *amazing* game! Huge congratulations to everyone involved. It's been (and is) a very challenging project in all sorts of ways, but the result is such a breath of fresh air!

How many bricks do you need to build an adventure? All of them.

My blog post on PSO Caching in #UE5 is now live!

A critical step for PC DX12 titles to avoid frame stutters. It's still too common for games to launch without proper PSO caching and the information on this is often confusing. tomlooman.com/psocaching-unr…

I'm pleased to share with you my latest tutorial explaining how I implemented the Tire Deformation in Electric Dreams, the GDC demo of Epic Games :

I’ve now lived in Santa Monica for a bit over a year. Moving here was one of the best decisions in recent memory. Closely trailing behind joining Epic. While my social circle has shrunk dramatically (now basically a triangle), I can’t get enough of the weather and the scenery.

15 years of passion, force of will, joy, blood and tears chasing photorealism. Relentlessly pursuing building a studio in my beloved hometown, Zaragoza. Uniting the most incredible team I could have dream of. All that, resulted in our character rendering art talk. Beyond…

Can confirm that Tilmann is great. Hire him!

Oh look, the recording of my GDC 2003 talk on 'Memory Optimization' is on YouTube. The vast majority of the talk still holds true today. Probably worth a view if you never saw it.

TOMORROW we are closing the submissions for talks at this year's Rendering Engine Architecture (VIRTUAL) Conference. Read our mission statement (might inspire you!) and submit your talk proposal here: …inearchitecture.realtimerendering.com - (please RT)! See you there!

This year will be my first of going to GDC but not attending any talks (not getting a pass). If you know me and you’re in town, hit me up for a coffee / beer during the week!

My tips for #GDC speakers:
• Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse. Run through your talk every day between now and stage time. The more you practice, the more comfortable you'll be. Getting it right will feel like a habit. Record yourself so you can feel the pacing.
