Unreal Engine 6 blueprint deprecation is devastating news.
While it is tough to argue against AI for rapid code generation, the access BP gave Technical Designers and Technical Artists to make magic isn't being acknowledged enough.

What people might not see yet with AI as it stands today is the general usefulness for normal people outside tech is still fairly awful.

At WWDC Apple Glasses are a given...
but if we get any visionOS news to clarify a long term roadmap, since we're hearing rumors on it, I will be very happy.
It helps navigate the long term planning that developers need to pitch and build.

It was a magical moment doing roomscale VR in 2013 before most could only dream of it.

Meta appreciates their employees so much as to replace them with AI as fast as possible...
so what do you think that means for DEVELOPERS feeding their abilities and ideas into AI tooling data.
At Meta Connect it will be interesting to see how this is all framed into a pitch.

the answer I believe is that gaming itself is a fountain of AI data ripe for training needs and a market perfect for AI product exploration use cases... (cont)

If you think Meta's redesign is driven by Quest platform itself... you might be missing the bigger picture.
Why redesign so much more toward the Apple Vision Pro's OS at all?
Perhaps that style fits a light form factor?
Does eye tracking impact this approach?
What about controllerless design?

Years and years of doing a robust backup process with nothing ever going wrong feels sort of pointless until that key drive fails at a crucial moment.

I'm generating LODs on a few roughly 8 million tri models in Unreal and I can't believe it doesn't crash
They come out great too. Witchcraft!

I've noticed a dynamic with my kids where I can start a game for myself...
then the minute they show interest it becomes more satisfying letting them play.
In fact their playing through gives me the same completion feel as if I had played through it myself.
Very interesting.

Wow so nice to get rid of the swyft prompt on my Vision Pro builds and get fixed foveated.
You can see it in the video at the edges of the video easily on the spheres and cubes.
Huge shout out @polyarcgames.com really appreciated. Can't wait to incorporate the fixes. 🙏
