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?

Hey everyone,
l've been a developer for a while now and I kept running into the same problem - I had dozens of repos, half-built projects, and scattered scripts sitting in GitHub doing nothing. Every time I wanted to start something new, I'd think "I feel like I've already built part of this somewhere..." but I never knew where.
So 1 built RepoFuse.
What it does:
RepoFuse connects to your GitHub, scans your existing repositories, and uses Al to surface buildable product ideas based on what you've already written.
Instead of starting from scratch, it finds the patterns, modules, and logic you've already built — and shows you what you're closer to shipping than you think.
Who it's for:
Solo devs and indie hackers sitting on a graveyard of half-finished projects
Dev teams who want to extract more value from
their existing codebase
• Non-technical founders working with developers who want to understand what's already been built
Why I built it:
Most "idea generators" give you generic SaaS ideas with no connection to your actual skills or existing work. RepoFuse is different — every idea it surfaces is grounded in code you've already written. It's not guessing. It's analyzing.
Where it's at:
RepoFuse is fully launched and live. You can con V your GitHub and get your first analysis today.

My guess is to identify filename and article name, and ranked by user preferences. But are there better approaches?

Hi Coders,

I'm building a TCG collecting tool with a card scanner to quickly add cards to your portfolio. 70% of the scanner is ready, but can't get the edge cases right like messy enviroments with multiple cards, or undergrounds with patterns, even a card in hand. The problem is the detection of where the card actually is. If I get the warp right, the matching system with my backend is fine, its purely the card detection. Tried some open source detection models from hugging face and tried it with pure Apple Vision, but can't get it to the level I want it to be. How can I properly build a system like this?

Thanks 😄
