Maybe if we give consoles more teraflops and gigazorps, we'll finally be able to achieve this level of graphical fidelity

At times like these, gotta hand it to (Iwata's) Nintendo, they knew the pursuit of graphical fidelity did nothing but prolong dev cycles and make the cycle itself more complicated than it needed to be, Sony should just do more small games like Astro bot, we've got enough triple A walking simulators.

Whoa bud now you're just showing off

All games are held together by sticks and string and I think thats beautiful

Heard the new Sonic racing game was pretty good

As much as I want to play Prime 4, they're doing a terrible job of hyping it for me...
Like guys, it's Metroid prime FOUR, fans have been begging for this for years, is it too much to ask they show Metroid a little love? 🥲

hell yeah

Texturing in blender with ucupaint What is ucupaint? Ucupaint is a free and open-source layering and baking addon for blender. It abstracts away the shader graph into a layer stack to allow texturing with layers rather than nodes: The ...

Sharing all of my blender texturing secrets in this in-depth ucupaint guide, hope it helps 🙂

8/6
Bonus #2 ➕ - I really enjoyed detailing him 🥰

7/6
Bonus ➕ - These are some references I had in mind while drawing and modelling, just a mash up of things I love 🥰🥰

6/6
Polish - After adding a few more accessories and re-texturing some surfaces, he's got a lot more personality! I also remodeled the boots and a added a lot of minor details that make him feel a lot more realized as a character.
I don't know what to call him, but I think Zed will do for now 😬

5/?
Texturing cont. 🎨 - I'll make some punctual changes along the way, like reshaping the pants to balance the proportions better after adding accessories that made him a little top-heavy, but getting closer to where I want him! I still feel like it's missing something 🤔💭

4/?
Texturing 🎨 - Since it's very low poly, my method of texturing is simply recoloring faces and make strategic cuts to the mesh to some more details out of it. Depending on complexity, this can break a mesh during rigging, but when strategically placed, it's a cheap and fast way to texture models!

3/?
Blocking 🟥- In line with the broader vision, I focus only on balancing shapes and keeping things simple with a very low-poly mesh, that way I can make big changes with little commitment. I also recycle assets from other models like the hands since I know they can be rigged easily ✋

2/?
Concept ✏️ - The idea was a brooding no-nonsense metalhead wearing a casual headbanger clothes, still a blank-slate at this stage which gives me a lot of creative freedom in 3D where most of my ideas really start to shape up(literally). I try to focus on the broader vision here 💭

I don't normally do this, but yesterday was one those "lightning in a bottle" moments where I had an idea for a character and was able to flesh it out from start to finish(?). 😬 I'll post a short thread of how I took it from concept to model. Let's go!

An MS paint sketch of a ninja-type character with a purple scarf, purple arm wraps, puffy purple pants, knife-shaped skirt, leg wraps, dark purple hair, green bangs and green pony tails staring at the viewer

Drawing in MS paint has a strange flow to it, but it's so straight forward it's hard to get distracted with fine details, great for putting out ideas fast! Here's a ninja-type character I've had on my mind 🥷
#mspaint #2dart #illustration #OC

Nobody asked, but the scarf is just just a texture scrolling on a distorted plane (and warped uvs), combine them and you get this really neat effect! Little things like this make me love tech art so much 😭🤧

Rose had been missing her scarf from early concepts since I wasn't sure how to approach it in-game, but I think I've figured it out 😬 What do y'all think?

This and Open Source communities are proof that creatives will give you their very best when their most basic needs are met (money = food, shelter, utilities paid for, allowing more to spend with friends and family etc.)
Go figure 🤷‍♂️
