So relatable 😫

Lymx!

Surprisingly, Houdini's Copernicus is already good enough to replace Substance Designer! It still has some performance issues and weird quirks, but I think Copernicus is really good, and I'm sure it will improve with the next versions.

Yeah, math notation is ambiguous sometimes 🫠

Didn't know you're a gamedev as well 😲 Keep up the good work bro!

GDScript is so nice to read ngl 😍

Glasses fit you very well, husky!

Nice! Also, it would be cool to toggle different color channels, but I'm not sure how hard it would be to implement

YouTube video by Visual Tech Art Intro to Physically Based Lighting and Cinematics - Lighting for Videogames

Just discovered a concept of physically-based lighting (PBL), and I feel so dumb for doing lighting completely wrong for my whole life 🫠

Anyways, check out this video if you have some spare time www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbMv...

Gladly, there is a role called "Environment technical artist". It fits you pretty well :)

Stylish af 🔥

Never forget the real struggle

"Do not come to our country illegally." Lol, I honestly don't want to come to your country at all after videos like this

Yum!

Lookin' lit!

I feel the same way 😅

*ehem* Join the Rust cult, we've got cookies and an amazing compiler that prevents the majority of potential crashes even before you run your executable 💅

What a goofy fluff 😍

It's kinda funny that such horrible laws usually start with "Protecting children from X"

Huge support for all trans folks out there, please don't give up and take care of yourselves 🏳️‍⚧️

I had a chance to make a breakdown of one of my projects on YouTube 🥳

You can check it out here: youtube.com/watch?v=aqJJ...

Also, a huge thanks to Stylized Station for the opportunity 🫶 I've been watching your channel for years and it was an honor to create something for it!

Honestly for the beginner, it's looking great! I know 3D can be overwhelming at first, but trust the process and you will get good at this quite soon ^^

The most productive year of my career I guess
Thanks for your support, 2025 will be lit 🫶

This scene made me miss Silco 😭

#Arcane #ArcaneSpoilers

Thank you :3

Made some Will-o’-the-Wisp kind of thing this evening!

The effect uses real-time fluid simulation for the flame and some simple Niagara particles on top. Surprisingly, fluid simulation is *really* good for stylized flame effects!

Procedural House Generator, Kai Fardreamer This project is my first step into a beautiful world of procedural generation. I decided to start by making a house generator, inspired by the game called "THE FINALS". The tool is made inside Houdin...

After several months of hard work, the project is finally finished! 🎉
I made a procedural house generator with Houdini that can be used inside Unreal Engine 😎

Random midnight WIP 🌚
Made a quick test render and am very happy with how it's turning out! All that's left is to texture the plants and some props.

Some texturing WIP 🎨

I couldn't rely on UVs (the building is procedural), so I decided to use some shader math magic: tri-planar mapping and height blending!

I blend 2 materials using a Perlin noise as an alpha, and it works surprisingly well!

#UnrealEngine #techart #shader

Finished my first material in #SubstanceDesigner today 🎉
I tried to create a stylized handpainted look, and I kinda like how it turned out!

#techart #stylized #gamedev

Took a while, but I'm finally done with the house geometry!

I really would love to show the procedural aspects of it (you can configure the building size, roof shape, ivy, and so on), but making a proper showcase with animations is time-consuming, so I'll show it later.
