Made a starter pack with Game Designers that worked on games I loved playing: go.bsky.app/D4QViNs

Here's a thread highlighting them, their game(s) I loved, and why I appreciate them. 🧵

Hey folks, this is a reminder that I'm currently looking for work! I'm an experienced producer with 8 years in games, worked on major franchises like God of War and Gears of War (yes), in Unreal and Unity houses, and across technical and creative disciplines. Please feel free to reach out!

Hey!

Do you need a highly technical character artist with almost 15 years of individual contributor and leadership experience? Looking for someone to wrangle your shaders? Or perhaps you need a person to assemble your character art pipeline?

That's me!

Thanks so much for the suggestion - sadly that also doesn't do what I need it too - but @spencermagnusson.bsky.social did share a great plugin that looks to be exactly what I was asking for (incase you're interested) - superhivemarket.com/products/uni...

Thanks again for helping out Marco!

Whoa Spencer you NAILED it, this is exactly what I've been looking for! Thank you so much for taking the time to share - this is a huge huge help!

Much appreciated!

Sadly I don't think that is what the 3D Max version is doing - The 3D Max version subdivides the mesh evenly (almost like Zbrush's dynamesh) - where as Blender's version doesn't really do that. Thanks for the help though!

I have a blender question that I hope folks could help out with: Is there a plugin / modifier that can evenly subdivide a mesh? 3D Max 2025 has this modifier - help.autodesk.com/view/3DSMAX/... - and it is EXACTLY what I'm looking for.

Any help would be incredible appreciated! #b3d

Hello! My contract with Stoic will end in August and I will be available for work!
Here issome images to show my professional work over the last few years. They're all the result of a huge effort by a group of people, but I believe I've had a considerable impact on their final look.

i know a lot else is going on, but US folks PLEASE call your senators - they are actively set on trying to ban trans healthcare on Medicaid entirely which trans people like me who are on Medicaid actively depend on for life-saving healthcare

Quite Ready for Another Adventure We are building a sci-fi universe that is grand, energetic, and hopeful. The future is going to be bright because we choose to make it so.

We're just beginning our journey here at Vast Green Country. We've posted our first devlog that touches on the general direction we want to take this new studio and our new IP.

A family of 3, outlined in green, hide behind a roaring bear, as large foreboding black shadows with nightsticks and helmets lurk behind it. A green star outstretched at their feet as they try to hide from view. Text at the bottom reads in call caps: "SHIELD YOUR NEIGHBORS"

SHIELD • YOUR • NEIGHBORS

Here in #LosAngeles, we protect our neighbors at all costs.

I've mostly abandoned X/Twitter, but I'm not very active here either so lets change that - My first public work as Art Director for @gardens.dev! Very excited about the project and team I'm working with including artists @benmce.bsky.social @rangerwang.bsky.social, Noah Alonzo and Ma-Ko.

in this concept art by Gardens art director @Phandy.bsky.social, three figures sit around a campire fire beneath huge, mossy stone statues. a red-cloaked character sits and sharpens their blade with a whetstone, and the other two (one wearing a blue wizard-like hat, the other in a hooded teal cloak) are collaborating over a pot of stew.

we're making a shared fantasy adventure game in which making stew is important. it takes a lot! in fact, you can never have too many cooks.

help us cook!! we're hiring a Gameplay & Combat Designer! our remote studio offers competitive salaries, 35-hr work weeks & more 🐸

Hello #portfolioDay I’m Sarah, a snr concept artist in games, freelance #cartographer & #TTRPG designer from Scotland. I love being an artist and over the last 15 years I’ve worked on projects like #DeathsDoor, #SpyroReignited, #HyperLightBreaker, Campaign Builder: Cities & Towns & a lot more!

Otho concept of a large green metal sphere with server towers surrounding it, and a pink atmosphere behind it.

With #HyperLightBreaker launch into early access this week I'm able to start sharing some of the work I’ve done with this amazing team. Some lab concepts, my job here was to make sure this was going to be clear for the 3d team. You might also recognise these from the launch trailer!

Some months ago the Saltenpepper team and I decided to finally give up on the game project, none of us had enough time or resources to put into it and i realised i was completely done with it.
I'll put together a book of all my work on it as a send off.
Here's some never seen stuff in the meantime
