Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.

Yeah totally agree - I had a great time. I love the expressionism of the faces and leaning into that animation style that never takes itself too seriously. The love for the details and culture beams through - just nice to see, y'know. Tara has watched it like 5 times since looool

Hah I first saw this brand in Japan in 2016 and thought "wow, over here we have really made it πŸ₯Ή"
But since then realised there was a big store in Melbourne central and it wasn't a special only Japan thing.. but you could say "Furla is big in Japan" and it would technically not entirely be a lie

Creativity is like a houseplant, not an endless well. You need to seek out sunlight, water, and nutrients in art, shows, music, experiences, and more to tend to it. And just like plants it has its dormant and active periods and you may not seem improvement for some time.

I guess in some ways we're all just nodes, cooking through the Great Procedural Dependency Graph of Life πŸ₯²
And when all is said and done, the real sop merges were the friends we made along the way

Hello #PortfolioDay!
I'm James, a technical artist currently working in games in Naarm Melbourne🦘
I started my career in mocap and (early) virtprod before moving into games proper. I'm all about environments, proceduralism, unreal and houdini!

imagine if someone promised human cloning then handed you an animatronic baby, and when you pointed out it was a robot covered in rubber, they told you the technology would improve, while someone from WIRED wrote an article about how they believed it was a baby

this is genAI

Two rounds of layoffs that targeted artists and now we're going to be stable diffusion splash arts!!!
