Continuing in my series on "stuff students are asking me", here's a written tutorial about using a histogram to determine Contrast and Exposure in an image, and then how to tweak it to get a better range of brightness values www.neilblevins.com/art_lessons/... #compositing #arttip #color

I feel that rolling dice could give more agency to the players and what is going on.

It's one of the things that intregued me about the Fantasy Flight SW books was idea of the WEG wild die taken to a storytelling level that got everyone involved

One used to get cool things with your games (which were $80 way back then too) to help solve things like the lack of in game maps.

Cloth maps like these you'd use to manually pin where cool stuff was that you found. This one came from the classic Ultima 4

May we blissfully forget about anything past season 2 😁

AI work can incur hate but it has yet to live rent free in the minds of its haters? 😂

Sorry for the loss Pablo. Hope you'll be able to cheer for the Oil in the coming weeks

Changing all the shortcut keys broke it for me. They're too ingrained in my memory to unlearn.

It was a game I adore but timed so absolutely wrong. All multi player when the market still wanted a story to play, amazing multiplayer code but most connections weren't still good enough, missed out on 3d accelerated support at launch, it was a 3d game but reclyled a lot of old and bland 2d art.

That would be correct. Maya uses a weighted smoothing so it should give you some pretty decent normal output as a result of hard or smooth edges that you set. There might be some scripts to do some more advanced normals, but by default this is what you have access to.

YouTube video by ArtOfSoulburn How Focal Length Affects Camera Distortion

Last week I saw a couple of inappropriate lens choices lead to some heavily distorted character faces, so decided to record a quick video examining the issue and providing some advice on when not to use wide angle lenses. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbqK... #camera #vfx #animatedfilm #lens

"The Hunt" #digitalart
Made with 3DsMax, ZBrush, Keyshot, Photoshop.

Looks delicious. I bet your team loves all the delicious food you bring in

If they can retcon out "The Black" and Pacific Rim 2 I will be extremely happy. Pacific Rim 2 tries to be in the universe but feels out of place, but The Black is just a horrific fanfic made real that Netflix should be ashamed of.

I remember when this project was first announced & the art team did a 2 hour session at GDC showing the concept art and the story each image told. It was an amazing session to have that let you just unwind and enjoy this work. I am glad that they've been able to continue this process w/ art books

Haven't had a ton of time to work on this Macross model, but I thought I would share where I am at with the progress on it. Still low poly at this point at 22,000 faces. Final intention is to have something I can 3d print. #3dsmax

My hat is off to you sir, that is a crazy amount of effort that showed off well

That's a crazy resolution to work in and get this much detail, nice work!

Snagged myself some Takhir Dragonstorm packs today. I'm loving the vibe from this set with its mechanics (though sadly I got no dragons in the packs I opened)

I got it done well over a decade ago, it's fantastic to not have to rely on glasses. If one can afford it I would always recommend it.

And here the right wing people were worried about the Davos elite resetting our wealth when instead it was their chosen one!

It's an ugly time for all but the super wealthy.

Only partial support that Steam refuses to verify and is preventing launch 🤣

YouTube video by ArtOfSoulburn Neil Blevins Art Process Overview 2025

This is a revamp of a tutorial I posted 5 years ago about my art making process. This one has some more info, and WAY better sound. If you've already seen the old one, you can probably skip, but if you haven't seen it, give it a watch! youtu.be/KM2RRYtR_mY?...

Are they waiting for season 4 to wrap its shooting before they grace us peons with season 3?

What's the actual reason for the hold up?

People are starting to forget this show exists and it's plot.

Had a blast diving into the animation process behind Prince of Persia! 🔥

Here’s a breakdown of one of the combat sequences from my Gnomon Talk.

Massive thanks to everyone who tuned in, and to Gnomon for the invite!

I don't know what they were thinking when they came up with the UX for teams... but holy fuck it's horrible and it just gets worse the more you use it. Get your shit together Microsoft!

Is this code for crafting cool new things?

Still looks like a great an animation today. Lots of talent went into making that.

Damn that looks detailed. Must have been a good challenge to create?
