I had prior automotive exp but have never touched carbon before and almost everyone in my department were the same when they started.

Meanwhile I have spent all my free time for 9 years trying to land a job in games and I havent had an interview since 2017 😭

Sorry for ranting heres our sosig ♥️

I started a new job trimming/assembling carbon fibre parts for motorsport+hyper/supercars

And it really put into perspective how fucked the #gamedev industry is.. 😭

I am working on cars in the range of £800k-£3 million and what requirements did I need to land the role.. Nothing.

Today is a big day! Timesplitters Rewind is finally out 😀

I am so proud of what the Team and I have accomplished

I do not regret a single minute I spent contributing to this project over the last 2-3 years. Ive learned so much and met so many great devs because of it ♥️

Unfortunately its hard for me to say I am just an art bloke 😆 hopefully once it all calms down a bit the issue might subside 🤞

He have had some insane traffic on the indiedb page! Hold in there I promise its worth it 🙏

Also huge thank you to @camwilliamsgd.bsky.social for his never ending sacrifice of social life to run, organise and push this insane volunteer project over the line without his meetings pokes and people management Im certain this project wouldnt have seen the light of day ♥️

I do this with gravy when I cook for people. there is no reason to not use store bought and it costs way more but it just feels worth..😅

This thing is a labyrinth of a model... you think the highpoly is done and then you find 4 more pieces to model 😅

Im calling it quits today cant wait to get it in zbrush and add 100 years of dent and dings!

Before I started this project I was really struggling to decide what my next prop would be.
I originally was thinking a Viking/Egyptian relic but whilst researching that I thought maybe a weapon like an axe? then proceeded to look up if many others have made one and found this👀

I appreciate the notes! I will be still padding out quite a few bits so I will be sure to try to include them!

although Im not going for 100% IRL accuracy I would like to be close, its just taking a while as I have limited reference 😅

Made the classic mistake of trying to push through late at night Instead of just trying again in the morning. realised my hubris when I spent like 2 hours squinting at a mesh and I could not for the life of me figure out a pinch😅

Remember kids rusty 90s JDM sports cars arent just for Christmas.... they are infact a full time problem c:

Ill have to give it a look! Is it a decent size cutting area?

Considerably loud then. I spent the last 6 years losing my hearing as a mechanic so I know how noisy those buggers are 😅

Oh nice! Ive always wanted to play with one haha was it a build it yourself sort of thing?

You've got a CNC machine?

A friend once explained using Ngons as "try to make the shape you want using the least amount of loops"

This hinge I just did would have taken me ages a 2 years ago as I would try to find a way to quad the corner and still keep the curvature

now I just delete the loops and let SubD work it out 😎

3D artists, show your wireframes

(These two are my favourite I love how much mileage I got out of a flat plane for the draws on the toolbox 😅)

There has been a few times so far with this highpoly where I have to try and work out which way something spins, attaches, etc and it normally ends in my scribbling on a screenshot till it makes sense 😅

Maybe Ill try rigging/animating for the first time with this? 🤔

Does anyone know a good way to get hold of @dannyodwyer.bsky.social or any of the @noclipvideo.bsky.social peeps for that matter?
