Organizing material layers to these five that I will be using in my next environment. I decided to incorporate parameters to control blending two normals together at the vertex paint border. Textures made in Designer.

Really really happy with how the brick materials turned out. #substancedesigner #gameart #UnrealEngine #environmentart #gamedev

Focusing on materials in this part of my next project that I'm working on. I made two different versions of bricks to blend together to add some variation to buildings.

Lastly a big big thank you to @annunziata3d.bsky.social for his patience, patience, and patience. The number of stupid questions he answered for me was ridiculous.

A short video showing how I used material layers to procedurally blend two textures together, beginning with a simple gradient with added RGB textures and parameters to control contrast and value. This helped me remain consistent throughout the project

Finishing this project is a huge weight off my shoulders and I learned so much in the process. I can't wait to make more. #gameart #unreal #3dart

As I'm applying for jobs, I find myself more often leaving the diversity questions blank. I feel that letting recruiters know I'm handicapped or female or a minority is just going to give them even more of a reason not to hire me. Does anyone else feel this way?

Another favorite of mine, I made this bust of Imperious by first making a rough shape in Maya, cleaning it up in Zbrush, and finally texturing it using a combination of Substance and Photoshop. This was a great excuse to practice hard surface modeling.

Skull drawings are the best therapy

This is one of my favorite pieces. I took a hand painting course with @ashdoodles.bsky.social years ago and I highly recommend taking it! This was wonderfully challenging and I'm glad to have had the opportunity!

Seriously it was a blast! (Pun intended :D)

I made this dope suction up gun for #Underlords boss Enno. I absolutely loved building it. You can see all the high poly and final work on the thread below!

Thank you for all the new folks that are interested in my work! I never expected such attention and I'm honored that you enjoy what I throw out to the world 🤗

I got so frustrated with this pose even though it's such a simple one

Oh I should mention that this was something I drew because I don't really feel like being near a computer any time soon.

I don't post much on here because I don't have anything content worthy. I've been laid off from my position as an environment artist at Blizzard; just another expense that needed to be cut so the shareholders can make it through the winter, I guess.

Ford UAW employees get bigger profit-sharing checks for 2023 despite strike Temporary Ford employees will be eligible for profit-sharing for the first time too, and the checks up are from $9,176 a year ago.

About 58,000 Ford workers are getting profit-sharing checks of up to $10,400.

Profit-sharing is one of the huge benefits negotiated by the @UAW.

Temporary workers will also qualify for profit-sharing for the 1st time. That's the union difference.
