Every single time without fail I see your dog I think it’s a picture of mine I forgot I took

It’s how I was taught and it’s how I textured until I finally bought Substance in 2021 haha

Ingnoring the mixamo character I have for reading, I may have went crazier with scale tests in unreal.

First person to guess how far away that mountain is wins a prize (the prize is being right)

I genuinely never thought I would get anywhere close to 100, let alone almost 1000 subs

I’m an artist- we just ignore that (jokes aside I’m fixing that; it’s angry about shadows right now.)

Doing some crazy unreal scale tests. The scene is something over 400square miles, all done procedurally
(All assets are placeholder for right now while I refine things)

All 400 square miles or so are traversable and populated with assets

It crashed immediately after hitting 128 because it ran out of space, good luck when you do haha

I love watching my ram creep up from 20FPs to 128gigs when converting an unreal scene to world partition over the course of an hour…

Nearly every movie you’ve seen uses outside the US support studios.

How the hell do you even enforce a tarrif

I was asked what the most helpful thing I learned in college was (in terms of my career):

Take a Modern Art class. It will fundamentally change how you view art, color, light and the process of creating art.

(This usually ranges from the 1860’s realism to the 1980’s Neo-Expressionism)

This is such a cool glitch it might as well be a feature, somehow broke the game so that the β€œInk” filter didn’t go away when I left photo mode. Even in the menus too

Environment artist tip:

Figuring out themes, forms, and styles of a place before you stylize it will always give you a drastically better result than creating a style first and trying to make something fit it.

Figure out the why,when, how first- then you can change it

Unreal nerds; why can’t I used a blueprint actor inside a tool?

Why can’t I use a spline tool inside of a blueprint?

WHY this would make life so much easier

I saw a 15 second clip of Assassins Creed shadows where they were just riding through the mountains of Japan-

That clip was so gorgeous I immediately went to my PS5 and bought the game.

I’m seeing a massive increase of people going after companies/recruiters on LinkedIn because they didn’t get a job-

They’re just doing their jobs man, the industry sucks right now- I get it. But that isn’t the way things are going to get better
