    20:07 no need to hand tweak the value nodes, just set the second scale node to one divided by the scale of the first one. You can do that with a math node, so you just have one input that perfectly sets both scales

      Kinda cool that n64 texturing and stuff is a aesthetic now, I’m opting to go this route and make my stuff look vintage over the unreal engine polish honestly I feel like the clean style is gonna become super forgettable and even where we are now with how realistic graphics can look 9/10 they’ll look dated in 5-10 years so making things with this style although it might be a bit more to build up a skill to make this stuff it’s not too hard once u get the basic building blocks n principals of 3D animation I feel things textured n what not to get a unique style like this it’ll age like a wine while the more clean unreal look will age like milk in some regards I don’t wanna see this style be lost to time.

      Using symetrie and tile Map you can make so much more thing, back then Ram and CPU usage where so limited only few megabyte or kilobyte where avaible, the CG artist must use those kind of malicious CGI trick, with this approach and New tech you can make bigger environnement using procedural and PBR tilable textures.

    I've seen plenty ps1 graphics tutorials, and this one is one of my favourites! I didn't know about shoebox and I can't wait to incorporate it into my 3D workflow! Loved the soundtrack too, really brings me back to earlier internet times!
    Also, the way you recycled the texture so many times was really insightful, like using that indent line in the computer's side panel to make it look kile there's a shadow on the base of the monitor - I love seeing this sort of thing in tutorials, I would have never thought to try and use a texture this way. Overall the way you put so few textures to work in such an efficient manner is really impressive!
    Keep the great work up!

    Thanks for the shoebox texture ripper it looks really useful.
    Constructive criticism: A real PS1 has screenspace vertex snapping where vertexes would snap to pixels on the output signal due to lack of subpixel processing. There could be a way to replicate this effect with geometry nodes. Also the keys on the keyboard would never be modelled in a game, unless it is extreme close up.
