Indie Dev Things

Hey gamedevs, quick reminder to backup your projects!
I just remembered that it's been a while and saw that my main projects last backup was a month ago. Scary thought to lose all that progress. (yes I do them manually... yes I know it's stupid! )
Share your controversial backup opinions :D

I miss #Splitfiction already!
So I spent the last few days setting up a prototype with the humble goal of "feels good enough".
It's already so much fun!

Wanted to repost this bc Joel's YouTube suggestion was absolutely bang on. JohnnyM's Blend Modes walkthrough is seriously helpful, not only for Substance but for Photoshop too.

In case Blend Modes have always been mystifying, y'all can join the fun here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhQB...

Yes! That Playlist got me motivated to try Substance Designer again and it was the last kick I needed to get hooked.

Does anyone know why that silly Houdini Launcher wants me to login every other day?

Danke 🙂

at first I thought someone had dropped their sandwich into water or something and fixed it with just two more layers of dry bread 😂
btw. does anyone know why bluesky keeps showing me replies but almost never the initial posts?

I'm so glad I opened the post to see the picture.
That sounded WAY worse than it looks :D

thank you!
It's mostly just a few different noise maps layered ontop of each other in different intensities in substance designer.
in the end I use a high frequency noise to cut in the noisy normals.
also some very low roughness dots sprinkled over it for the stylized glitter effect

Yet another try to make some fluffy snow in substance designer. I like where this one is going!

Can't wait to see the final version. Have you tracked the hours already spent on it?

I love the shading. It really looks like a painting!

It's crazy right? I'm so happy I tried out unreal a while ago. Didn't expect the transition to be as smooth but I guess I'm more of a node shuffler than a coder haha.
It feels like Twitter 2.0. "How do we alienate our users as much as we can "

Thank you so much. It was one of the first models I was really proud of as well 🙂 the original character belongs to MahuruRaji (not sure if they are on here). My sculpt was part of last years artfight and so much fun to work on!

Haven't done many personal projects lately so here's some old stuff to fill the void for now #3d
