Glorified code monkey.

>>715615303 (OP)
He was incredibly talented but didn't really effect the evolution of video game graphics at all. Basically, an incredibly talented hobbyist but nothing more.

>>715615303 (OP)
Carmack is honestly so cute but he looks like he'd be so boring in bed.

Wasn't he a DM and made multiple solo games before id? I think his creative output is being slept on.

>>715615638
He is not boring, he is efficient

>MEGATEXTURES, SON!

>>715615303 (OP)
Didn't know we're suppose to hate Carmack now

Oh hey carmack, enjoying your career?
Would be a shame if you suddenly waste a decade on meme tech...

>>715615808
I should hit the gym...

Sam Hyde calling him a pencil neck seems to have cut deep

>>715615597
Thank goodness the industry is not full of Carmacks, otherwise we wouldn't have games like STALKER 2! I'd much rather watch lumen ghost shadows at 20 fps than play the new DOOM game at 200 fps on my Dell Inspiron from 2007.

>>715615808
dam coding makes you like that?!

>>715615303 (OP)
He's super talented, but yeah. Just like all of the id softbois, his contribution to gaming at large has been exaggerated over the years.

>>715615597
>didn't really effect the evolution of video game graphics at all
That's some major bullshit

>>715616115
How's that game coming, Sam. Still not out? Thought so.

>>715615303 (OP)
Video games are code.

>>715615303 (OP)
Is he better coder than Thor, Coding Jesus or notch?

>>715615597
You are so hell bent on being a contrarian that you don't even bother double checking what you just wrote. Fuck off and die nigger.

He wasted his talents with VR crap. Were he still at iD we'd have Doom Dark Ages actually running properly with path tracing on a 4060.

>>715619608
>“don't use power tools because they take people's jobs” is not a winning strategy.
Best take on it, he's 100% right

>>715615303 (OP)
Unironically thought he was that one actor from that Troll 2 movie

>>715619698
If his staying with engine and graphics could have benefited gaming at large perhaps, but if it would be limited to nu-Bethesda slop then VR was the better thing.

As opposed to what genius of innovation who stands head and shoulders above him, op?

Pretty much, AI also does not provide creativity, a vision, and the mindset required to fully realize project released from start to finish.
Its literally just a tool.

>>715619834
I can imagine him showing the industry how to actually optimize path tracing, because right now everyone and pushing ray/path tracing to the max and relying on upscaling to get 60fps on a 5090.

the anecdote about stealing an apple II from school is really amusing

>>715620706
Yeah that would have been swell actually

>>715619787
>>715619998
I'm working with an artist on a nude mod using AI.
AI does the heavy lifting of giving almost the entire structure of the nude version, and then the artist fixes any fuckups the AI made.
Other artists have tried doing the same thing, but they get burned out quickly, because it's too much work.

We, on the other hand, are fucking 800 nudes in: https://files.catbox.moe/vxyzt5.png
This shit can be tag-teamed.

>>715621929
>800 nudes
The very definition of slop. Just a bunch of regurgitated porn with no thought or care put into any of it lol.

Carmack is is the upper echelon of intelligence

Idtech mega textures have supplemented all the new wolfenstein games, all the new Doom games, and Indiana Jones. Idtech is a successful engine, despite the mediocrity of the Rage games.

he is smart and got a alot done i probably wouldnt be able to do the same
BUT being a code monkey in the 90s was easy mode i think

>>715615905
most studios are using megatextures (now virtual textures) these days because they're unironically a huge boon for artists

get with the times gramps

>>715623191
There is no care or thought put into any of it. Yes, you fixed a few mistakes. But the fundamental issue is still there, it's awful.

The purpose of a nude mod is to titillate. It doesn't matter how much "effort" you put in with dull generation, you have no eye for visual appeal, and so all of that work is completely wasted. You are producing absolute garbage, there would be more visual interest if a child decided to draw boobies and dicks over the art with a marker pen.

>>715623715
Weak bait.

>>715615905
To be fair it’s not like most normies even know what virtual textures really entail.

>>715623715

How do you do this? Select a portion of the pic and have AI regenerate it to your nudes prompt?

>>715624380
Select the parts I want to make a nude of, then make a crude drawing on top of it of what I want it to look like, then the AI follows the shapes I drew and hallucinates it into art.
I use Invoke.

>>715623469
ah yes, that makes it much believable as an organic screenshot taken just a moment ago

>>715624574
Awesome. Thanks. I want to do something similar for a non lewd thing. Mostly placeholder and concept art for my shitty hobby game

This one we were struggling with because her original proportions are retarded (especially the long neck, which we shortened).
I had the artist sketch up something quick, I crudely colored it in, fed it to the AI, then fixed up minor mistakes, and the artist fixed up the major ones (mainly the neck).

>>715623317
I'm sure he can dry his eyes with million dollar bills.

>>715625082
It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad.

>>715619787

This is not inherently a good thing. AI art spam is literally killing the utility of search engines and archive sites.

>Were he still at iD we'd have Doom Dark Ages actually running properly with path tracing on a 4060.
no it wouldn't. carmack wasn't an optimization god. dooms 1-3 ran like shit on the hardware of their age, let alone one-two gen old hardware

via tech contributions, maybe not so much, but by creating all the demand for 3D games - very much so

He got Doom 3 running on an Xbox

>>715628136

Didn't he quit all his jobs? That's a good reason. Can't sit around in a gym when you're trying to build rockets or pioneer VR

Thank you based Carmack and based Zuck

>>715632864
he just said that he always exercised and some friend advised him to eat more protein, which is code for steroids

>>715627954
Your talking about hardware requirements and equating that to optimization without considering visual fidelity. Yeah Doom 3 ran like shit on 3 year old GPUs. But it also looked much better than 2001 games. i.e. you sound retarded.

no one is safe

You can take TRT indefinitely, RFK Jr is also on it, it can be a medical thing. It does help with muscle loss in old age.

Still overrated not in terms of achievement, but in terms of his practical skill.

I don't hate Carmack.
But he wasn't part of anything cool or useful since Quake Live.
Carmack's place is inside our memories. That's where he belongs.

bsp collisions in quake was cool
after that many other devs surpassed him

if you took your time he would just fire you for being inefficient and wasting work hours
