Today was a set of funny coincidences, proving that life puts people in their right place, proves who is valuable, and proves I am moving in the right direction. Today I am not just content as I have been for a couple years, but happy. 😁

I’ve never believed in revenge. Over the last 3 years, I focused on building a life I’m proud of: contributing to successful video games, living independently, investing in the future, and starting my own game studio and my home. Turns out, happiness and growth were the best answer. ❀️πŸ’ͺ🏼

Maybe it is a thing that changes with the countries? But first time I saw Y up was in modeling, after some years into it, because of Maya and Unity (always worked with max and unreal)

in my 5y of industrial engineering before modeling, I've always seen Z axis up. And the rule of the thumb was always made with the right hand (I hated it) also to know which direction was positive, or even how the screws work internatinally by convention too.

Maya, U3D and ZBrush always F'd my mind

But the Z is the one, by convention, new.

The rule of thumb in science to make the axis is done with right hand tho

I am not sure I am catching you but I am left handed and see nothing wrong in UE

Why, tho? Z makes more sense. XY is always the canon for 2D graphs, so that is taken as ground and then by rule of thumb, Z point up. That's it.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State.

H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladderβ€”affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

It is interesting to see how a company that never paid me for the work, and got hundreds of thousands of funding, laid off all the artists and keeps paying for lies in advertising and for people that do nothing..... now launches a trailer and all the people comment shit about it

I, for example, didn't like at all the plot line. But I loved the effects, photography, and music!

But I will never understand why someone has to engage aggressively those who liked it. And the other way around, too. Anyone is entitled to their opinion, and there is no need to wage war

Big companies will never tell you how funny and wholesome it is to see your game fans testing your demo and breaking it with situations you never thought of, while they enjoy doing it
