The games industry has always been run by autocrats because that's how capitalism operates, but in the past couple of years they've really ramped up their level of authoritarianism. They don't like workers banding together in unions to improve things and they're clamping down harder in response.

been testing this new plugin for 3ds max that adds cavity overlay like in blender to the viewport but also screenspace reflections/global illumination and outline i looooove how much the shapes pop, makes it so much easier to work on stuff

being closeted is really just the "forbidden fruit" huh

it’s my birthday today 😌 if you want to do something nice for me today please consider giving a dollar to The Base Mesh: www.thebasemesh.com base 3D models for games, professionally made… it’s an invaluable resource to me and i tell all my students about it! support & love for asset creators 🎉🎂🍰❤️

what do CAD engineers eat for dinner? fillet-o-fish

unfinished energy pistol concept from 2018

there's one thing I really hate about vagueposting

Ok last time I'll say it but SpritePile 2 is on sale for 50% off! store.steampowered.com/app/1757120/... It just got a huge update too! 🎉🎊🎈 #gamedev #pixelart #voxelart #spritestack

feeling lately like "2008 financial crash hit and finland never quite recovered" is probably just as much here to stay as japan's lost decade turning into three & counting lost decades

QTP with a game that has a 10/10 soundtrack

Ported the UV Mapper & Texture Generator ID Software made for #quake 1/2 into a #blender plugin.

i must be seriously unwell (i have been doing mathematics voluntarily for several days in a row)

did some more work on the shard

fixed video

the last of this guy for now

height map exploration in Substance Designer, baked down a proper G2 curvature-continuous fillet into a fully reusable gradient so I can get more CAD-like edges on completely procedural textures

SPRAWL zero is out now! The culmination of so much blood sweat and tears, who would have thought a random interaction on the Quake Mapping discord would have lead to this? store.steampowered.com/app/3748520/...

big doors are cool. Wip screenshot from my Quake Rooftops jam map.

ingame w/ texture filtering

as a game artist my favourite feeling has probably been people doing fan art of stuff I made

Imagine Aseprite or another #pixelart program inside Blender? Pixel Perfect Pixel Art drawing and texture painting on top of the model in the 3D viewport and in 2D. Drawing, painting, selection tools, layers, texel density (pixel size) setup and density zones (multiple pixel sizes). #blender3d

the average man about 12 picoseconds into sliding in my Instagram DMs:

‼️ PSA for pixel artists!! If your image uploads are turning out blurry, please make sure you are NOT exporting your pixel art at 400% resolution. The Bsky WEBP compression algorithm severely blurs pixel art exported at this resolution, making it an unreadable mess. #pixelart

quick n dirty render in marmoset toolbag 5. gotta love that bevel shader
