EP#94 | Friggin' Cuttin' EDGE Creative Tools! (Unreal 5, Neural Network AI & More)

[@Triflixfilms]

Love it when a new Cast drops while I'm editing a client project. Give me something listen to while I struggle through the mundane.

[@1234magazine]

I demand more Corridor Cast views, these are so underrated.

[@Sebbir]

Tbf the views are probably spread out a bit because of all the different podcast platforms

[@Electric597]

I love how the intro is just these guys basically describing music theory

[@ConnorHammond]

Love going through these older eps and seeing your reactions to each step of AI evolution.

[@king-curse]

Dang, Jake’s moustache is movie quality

[@linkypete]

Moustache cut quality

[@hypwow]

Definitely cgi

[@kokoze]

I love software and hardware talk!

[@soulance8342]

Imagine how insane the content will be able to be in a few more years.

[@retroradtacular]

You guys referencing Miyazaki makes me so happy. TOTALLY the vibes I was getting, I felt like I was watching spirited away for the first time and was just left in awe at the world before me. Dreamlike, yet so real at the same time, idk how people capture that.

[@daenziii]

sam I too am in awe of how beautiful the future of storytelling and the wave of new creative content at an unreal level of quality is. somedays it's intimidating and I struggle to do the work to learn unreal and virtual filmcraft but it's good to know that this is an exciting time for artists across the spectrum! love the podcast can't wait to see what's coming next for you all

[@BelaCurcio]

I paused this and went to Captain Disillusion's channel and watched that whole episode, subscribed, and then came back and watched the rest of your podcast. Thanks for the rec!

[@Newtperc]

52:45 I was thinking what’s that sound? It’s Sam’s voice sympathetically vibrating in the acoustic guitar 😂

[@jackerylel]

Can't wait for you guys to post a machine learning/ ai job 🙌🙏

[@sivasankarant9195]

How did you learn machine learning 🤔 drops some links please

[@jackerylel]

@@sivasankarant9195 sure, I first completed the data science certificate from IBM, then the Deep Learning certificate. Both on coursera. Now I'm focusing on getting the ML on AWS certificate following courses on udemy. It also is very important to always implement what you learn so you actually know how to use it. Also following tutorials on youtube and getting through bugs that come up is a great way to acquire more skills. For example, I recently learned how to fine tune gpt2 for a personal project I'm working on.

[@cemsions303]

why the heck i never noticed that you guys have a podcast

[@hartjewellery]

Its really good too

[@mauropantin]

Wren sporting that T-1000 look. "Are you the legal guardian of John Connor?"

[@AE390Carreras]

Is there a link to this video made by "Ian". I assume they are talking about Cpt. Disillusion. They talked about it for so long and I want to see what they are talking about, but can't find it.

[@SirWrender]

Check out Dynamo Episode One by Ian Hubert!! The Captain Disillusion video we also referenced is his recent Flight of the Navagator video!

[@Luka1180]

Search for Dynamo Dream Episode 1 Salad Mug, on Ian Hubert’s KZbin channel. It’s a cyberpunk dystopian sci fi web series, but it’s set in a universe that Ian has already been working on another series for, just called Dynamo, which you can find on the KarmaPirates channel. The worldbuilding and unconventional storytelling is excellent.

[@AE390Carreras]

@@SirWrender Thank you for the clarification. Literally after watching that video, a Wild Corridor VFX artists react video appeared!

[@AE390Carreras]

@@Luka1180 Thank you for the clarification. That video was Awesome!

jake's song was dope

[@DrespoTV]

i check for a new podcast every day haha i am addicted, i love you guys.

[@rcnewman51.]

Mainly using your ear, trying to learn music is the best thing I ever did. Highly recommend!

[@Hayden_Lummus]

Niko’s playing the vacation version of Imperial March. I imagine Vader’s chilling by the ocean, swim trunks over his classic Vader suit

[@realjames1]

beautifully tuned mario theme

[@Hentjim]

YOOOO Sam's cut clean tho, love it

[@thomad4]

Best closing song yet, LOL!!

[@ArifRWinandar]

Wren, that thing where a writer writes the cool scenes first and work backwards to justify it in a story? I hear that's how some Hollywood blockbusters are made, with the cool set pieces shot first while the actual plot is still being written.

[@panimala]

A podcast that isn't AI readouts THANK GOD. Love you guys though

[@greengamerguy623]

they are funny tho

[@pathtoplunder6847]

What they could eventually do, is if nanite assets are shared between games, they can just share a nanite object folder on a PC to save on space.

[@shaunsocha421]

Niko out of context #1: "Jake's looking for photos of himself as a child because I've requested that from every person in the office.."

[@GerryRR]

Nanite probably changes things to the same degree that GPUs themselves did with the first Riva TNT and 3dfx cards. Nanite eliminates an entire step for artists, and it's a tedious and not fun step that isn't really about working creatively. On top of that it allows for orders of magnitude more triangles in a scene at once - it's a huge step forward. I hope that Nanite will allow developers to run a benchmark "flythrough" of their games and find out which models are "wasting" the most triangles so they can worry about optimization after the fact with a tool that tells them exactly where they can cut things down.

[@alterw2926]

what if we went back to like chunky game cartridges because the file sizes were massive and needed like terabyte harddrives to store them

[@nibhanraheem]

Living to see Ian's work feature in Love, Death and Robot

[@timothysmith306]

Does anyone remember which podcast episode it was that Niko talked about his overpowered AI mancala program that he built in college? I remember it was a really really good story. I’d love to hear him share it again. Curious if anyone has tracked down the episode.

[@angrypotato_fz]

Hey! I remember something about it from one of earlier episodes. Is #26 what you mean, around 52 minute mark? Niko mentions mancala there. Have a good day!

[@meltdown92583]

I would really like to know which ebikes you guys bought.

[@nielnielsen4822]

The song was almost, dream a little dream of me.

[@bassemb]

IT WENT KABOOM

[@joemiskowitz2669]

Mah BOYYYSS!

[@thomasmerrill1190]

You know i work for a bike accessory company called Silca based in Indianapolis and we sell really high quality products like bike pumps, anodized titanium cages and straws, with other things like lubricants and titanium 3D printed Bike GPS mounts.

[@kubburdigital]

18:30 You guys should watch a TV show called devs

[@kylejennings819]

best opening haha

[@davidcapuzzo]

Make your own LED volume!!!!

[@TheGreatDutin]

Sam is so chill now. Full on dad mode lol

[@tomatosoupinacan5287]

i really want a sur ron, e bikes for life my guy

[@Triflixfilms]

@Sam I just got an electric longboard and regularly hit 27mph only wearing a helmet. I wrecked while doing 13mph only 20ft from my house... I am now terrified to wreck at 27mph.

[@CaptainSnackbar]

i need to gather some kinetic battery in my soul so i can go and get me a drink from the fridge. great podcast

[@han_pritcher]

The solution to storage issues of huge models could be procedural generation, in real-time, possibly using hardware acceleration. Some games already do that. Or incredibly fast decompression. Either way, just downloading huge amounts of raw data is completely unfeasible.

[@ElectroVenik90]

49:00 But Wren, right now if a game wants to amaze you with it's graphics while still working, you are downloading 5-10 different detail versions of model and texture for every object in the game. With Nanite you just can dowload high-fidelity objects and don't bother with all the rest.

[@mf--]

Need some more nearly impromptu gaming vids in the vein of longest lightsaber vid.

[@MrRichieface]

whos this Ian they're talking about around 35:00 ?

That website will generate faces that have reflections on the rims and lenses of peoples glasses from the flash of the camera

[@dustymar4341]

Before corridor was using unreal roosterteeth was using halo making red vs blue

[@adheremtmeat]

You should try AI Dungeon again because the paid version includes the Dragon AI and allows you to move the random and length sliders in a way that trains the ai to your own story. I'd love to see you create a scenario and add some world information and memories.

[@williamwallace234]

You guys need to do something about those guitars. They keep vibrating with the talking.

wren in the opening😂

[@muraliep895]

In blender it has adaptive subdivision.

[@xio6131]

What are the bone conduction headphones Sam using?

[@CorridorCrew]

[@skyburch7254]

Its interesting that you guys bring up the Mona Lisa when talking about face generation as one theory of why she looks a bit odd is that he started painting her when she was a young adult, then he left it for years so when he started again he was either painting it without her, or painting it with a now aged subject. So its like old school face mash/face generation. Also she has no eyebrows.

[@jaredlind2888]

Unreal has played the game well. UE5 tech is crazy cool, but the gigantic ecosystem surrounding Unreal makes jumping into UE5 that much more exciting. Go grab some Quixel assets and play around for free.

[@scpgypsyman]

Why Monalisa is the first face app. used by DaVinci

[@ivpt]

Maybe if there was a way to adjust other mental parameters, not just visuals

[@mattbell1907]

Anyone hear a high pitch ringing in this video or is it just my phone?

[@soulance8342]

Zero dislikes, that's what I'm talking about!

[@burro8372]

what up son'

[@ivpt]

Yea

[@ChiaroscuroxX]

Is it better for y'all to watch this on KZbin or corridor?

[@Systox25]

That short unreal demo to play was 100 GB A 3 minute demo 100GB

[@Systox25]

@@abra4662 i know you can play with the engine in it but still Would be interesting how big it is if compiled

[@GerryRR]

That's mainly because they didn't do any optimization. They pulled assets from quixel and put them in the level and that was it. So they probably have a lot of wasted detail in places - normally you avoid this as a developer because of the performance implications, but Nanite makes that a non-issue. You could still go through and optimize if you want to reduce the size on disk though.

[@Systox25]

@@GerryRR but that was the purpose of the demo!? To show it runs without optimisations I am really hyped to see if Satisfactory can use this

[@scpgypsyman]

Wren's voice is like a robot. Thank devil you broke his shoulder otherwise, he will jump from that building.

[@sbsftw4232]

Yeah it feels like there's a little echo on just Wren

[@Mr-Blitz]

Does anybody else hear the acoustic guitar or something reverberating as Sam talks? It's tripping me out... Using my raycons I can hear it lol

[@JuLVideos]

Yes, i noticed it too. It took me a while putting my headphones on and off, until identifying the source of that noise, though...

[@TwistedShrapnel]

hallucinating is exactly what it is doing though, visualizing something that doesn't actually exist.

[@mikeklubnika]

wren's mic is kinda finnicky. anyone else?

[@brandonc6445]

Sounds like an echo from multiple mics picking him up maybe? I've noticed a small ringing when Sam talks but its pretty faint, kinda reminds me of my old mic boom when the springs would ring from me talking too close to it.

[@damianthemidget5164]

Are you preparing something special for EP #100 ???

hi

He was filming a Terminator 2 related video before the podcast.

Got squibbed on my chest in HS, doesn't hurt at all. All the force goes into the bloodbag and away from you.

[@SirWrender]

Cool!!

[@ive3336]

lol he said 99 minute and meant 60 then said 60 minutes add 29 i guess to get 99 but really 89, wren got a bit lost here!

[@alexsanudo5640]

Man something is up with Sam's audio that is super distracting. Like a reverb or echo

[@STANDBYEXP]

The only thing that's still shit about unreal is translucency, You still cant get a result that's similar to what youd get on a CG engine. The only way is to dig into shader tech and tear blood for a week. But once they've solved that and added a proper real time Fx system in it like embergen you wont need precal anymore

[@lucianofang]

0 dislikes. Yes.

Isn't wearing a fake police badge a felony tho? LOL great talk guys

please add little bit of music in background
