We’re excited to welcome Roc Lee (he/him), Senior Sound Designer at Clean Cuts Interactive , to speak about building custom workflow tools in FMOD! Based in Washington, D.C., Roc specializes in creating audio systems that support gameplay and storytelling, with credits including Asgard’s Wrath 2, Saber Punks, and Sword Reverie. He’s also spoken at Game Developers of Color Expo, GameSoundCon, and Audio Engineering Society AVAR, while helping organize the DMV Game Audio meetup community. Talk: Fix Your Own Workflow: Building the FMOD Tools You Wish Existed From repetitive FMOD tasks to daily-use custom tools, Roc will share how small frustrations led him to create scripts including: - Event Renamer - Bank Builder - Memory Location Toolbar - Import Tool Whether you’re new to scripting or deep into technical audio, this talk is a reminder that your workflow frustrations are worth solving. No scripting experience needed! Link to event available on the QR code #asiangameaudionetwork #fmod #workflow #gamedev #gameaudio

🔵 My team needed to simulate +50,000 dynamic particles for a mapping show... So I made my own tool. I created this real-time modular particle collision system running fully in the browser using WebGPU. The goal was to add as many parameters as possible in the GUI to let the visual artists have complete control over how the particles behave. Using those inputs, we can easily change the shape of a particle, its speed, or its color. I also added a way to create collision shapes and an effect to repulse particles. Hope you liked that :) #interactive #projection #mapping #pixijs #webgpu #realtime #art #creativecodding

We ran MForja on cinematic footage. The result stopped me. 9.5 MB source. 647 KB output. 93.2% file size reduction. VMAF 99.99. The clip is a low-light scene, a man putting a hat on a horse under soft candlelight, from Film Supply. That kind of footage is compression's worst case: dark gradients, organic textures, film grain, subtle motion throughout. The entropy shim inserted upstream of libx265. No codec swapped. No hardware touched. No changes to any downstream infrastructure. VMAF 99.99 means the output is, for all measurable purposes, indistinguishable from the source. Here is what 93.2% reduction means at scale. If you are a platform storing 1 petabyte of video, that is roughly 930 terabytes back. If you are a drone manufacturer shipping 1,000 units a year, that is a different conversation with every customer who asks about onboard storage or transmission bandwidth. The four pillars of signal waste, storage, bandwidth, power, codec efficiency, all move together when the entropy is right at the source. This is what Video Distillation looks like in practice. mforja.com

Quick one for the Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve crowd: how are you getting your diffusion right now?  Some folks use bloom nodes, glow effects, or just softly roll off the highlights. We felt there wasn't a straightforward method, so we built a tool called DigiDiff that handles it all in one place. The diffusion is physically accurate, so it behaves the way physical diffusion does. And you get a lot more control without the messy workflow! Worth a look if you're in the Blackmagic Design world. Join us on https://lnkd.in/gDss_Zqz to see how creators are using DigiDiff—and share your own results.

Distortion Grids Database is a structured library built for real post-production workflows. It includes: - distortion grids - ready-made lens presets - LensDistortion nodes for Nuke - 3DEqualizer project files Upload assets → receive ratings, discounts, and a reason to keep building value for the whole community. Our goal is to turn lens data from a one-time production cost into a reusable production resource — making matchmove and VFX workflows more reliable, faster, and easier to run. Enjoy! And Have a Good Solve! #Matchmove #3DTracking #CameraTracking #VFX #CGI #VisualEffects #FilmProduction #MatchmoveArtist #MotionTracking #VFXCommunity

Manually placing reverb zones is a thing of the past. I built Fibonacci Acoustic Scanner Pro — a runtime acoustic plugin  for Unity + Wwise. Zero baked data. Pure physics-based simulation. What you see in this video: → Occlusion calculated in real time as the source moves behind walls → Diffraction path bending around corners — live as you peek out → Reverb Amount driven by actual geometry, not trigger zones → Source picked up — occlusion clears instantly, reverb keeps updating No zones. No triggers. Just raycasts + Wwise RTPC. Free to download — pay what you want. 🔗 itch.io: https://lnkd.in/gBd4XHd3 🔗 GitHub: https://lnkd.in/gW_M8r9T #gameaudio #unity3d #wwise #sounddesign #gamedev #plugin #indiedev

Well designed! This is just the start 😉 To 3D animators and indie game devs, you’ll learn how easy and accurate the mocap function is when you try it!
