I am very much curious of how Playground Games did the skies in FH3 because it looks just gorgeous, went into some search, got a GDC of 2017 talking about this in where the Lead Lightening Artist, Jamie Wood explained how they implemented the skies in FH3. Got confused where they mentioned Nuke(software) as it provided them with render of the skies. Correct me if I'm wrong, so they took 4k pics, processed them through Nuke and Lightroom and just put them up in the game engine's skybox? So, it's all just a video but small in size but using some resolution biasing and some additional techniques? I apologize; I'm just confused here. So the resolution biasing is just stretching the image on the outside so the center is more crystal clear, and in the second image, it just looks like the image with processed image afterwards... So they clear out the ground from the images, process it and then used Nuke to have a streamlined frames of images(basically video) to appear on the skybox?

Edit: Since I cannot attach images here, you can visit the r/howdidtheycodeit and check the images there, same question I've posted there too..

So I reinstall Titanfall 2 yesterday and was getting huge frame drops(144 to 0) 2 times within a second(only during combat in Titans, especially smoke), checked on Battlefield 1, same but in Forza Horizon 3, it was only 2 times then it was alright. Checked the temps(Nvidia Overlay), reaching 88 max, staying between 76-81C. During the frame drop, the GPU utilization spiked from 55-67% to 99% and back to 60%, CPU is in 20-40% utilization. DDU-ed the Nvidia stuff, played again on Integrated graphics, no drops, was giving me average of 90FPS on very low. A day after, reinstalled the Nvidia Game Ready but of 18th October '25, first few games were all great, but in the evening when I restarted, same thing happening. Yes, the laptop is clean, cleaned its fans and remove dust within 2 weeks ago. CPU is AMD R5 7640HS, GPU: RTX 3050 GB, IG: AMD Radeon 760M, Memory: 16 gigs, everything on SSD. Any idea what actually is happening? Plus, 2 months ago, it wasn't happening, wasn't playing TF2 so I uninstalled it and now, the above mentioned.

(in dream)So there's a very famous school, and the swimming pool it has is not an artificial one but a natural one. Buildings in 3 sides(|_|, | and _ are buildings and center is one giant pool, 50-60m deep and 30m sides, in a square).

Since my cousins are already swimming in the pool, I decided to dive(dive height is about 20m). Everyone is asking, are you able to swim, with me nodding to everyone. Telling my aunt that I've swam in a river, sea so it's not a problem for me(irl true). Idk why but I'm wearing my Helmet and my N95 mask, with my left nostril totally blocked. It's a quite sunny day with some clouds(building on the south side blocks sunlight but the sky looks clear.

As soon as I'm on the height, the sky immediately turns black, breezes became gales, with really heavy rains. Some of my friends dive in the pool, maybe of adrenaline rush, idk.

I also dive in, but I landed on water on my left hand elbow, and I'm alright, nothing hurt and able to bring myself up to the surface, but the weight of the helmet plus the totally wet N95, I'm not able to breathe, plus my left nostril totally blocked. Panicked, I rush remove the helmet, remove my N95. But my left nostril is still blocked, I decided to get to one of the rails and pull myself out. That's where I wake up

Now this particular pool, not the first but 2nd or 3rd time seeing, and jumping in for the first time.

Sorry for any spellings, I'm half awoken..

Since some new posts are posting pics of the maps in Titanfall so I thought I might explore them. Plus always love the maps, just don't think about them during a match....

This was the first time this occurred.

I was with my schoolmates and it was noon on a cliff, and someone bought a car, though there was no space on the cliffside, the car was parked right next to it. The driver(schoolmate from long time ago), I told him to sit in the passenger in the back, once he was done, I pushed the car from the cliffside. I saw the car becoming crushed and watching passerby helping the schoolmate by taking him out, there's a lot of fluids on where he is laid, I can see the body in a non skeletal movement (in a lot of pain).

Now the boys are whispering to each other, what I've done. It was too much, someone said 'murderer' and my heartbeat got skyrocketed. Girls were giving me the side eye, everyone of them. I was thinking what I've done, all my academic career down in drain. Every respect earned now gone.

It was now sunset, I was still standing alone with one of the students on the cliff, just watching the horizon, and looking where the car was parked.

Man I was in relief when it was dream........

I hope it won't come back.
