Omar I forgot one big thing I did for years. I play the piano and sing. I lead praise and worship in several churches.

I think the polycount really didn't get the reaction it deserved though. Most reactions I saw were very face value and literal. Of course optimizing your meshes is still going to be a thing. But not requiring a poly budget and choosing what details get more attention instead of baking it down to a normal map is going to open things up to creative freedom in games and film.

I had dreams of making a game, but its amazing what I've just fallen in love with on here

I am a bit skeptical about the Unreal 5 demo, in the way that it's a demo, I bet it won't be as smooth in a real production

And to imagine a game engine handling billions of polys in real time...

yeah, not having to bake light or choosing when you want full dynamic light more often is great
