Original and the "de-make"

Interesting challenge to take a character and turn them lowpoly. Especially since a lot of details have to either be lost or changed entirely

There's always someone that's faster

I made props for #CrimsonCountyForestService

While we're working to get the main lobby/Ranger Station set up, we've also been playing around with orbiting and fixed camera angles. The orbiting is ideal for spectating. The fixed ones... well, that's a secret

I don't get to interact with scammers that often (thankfully), but I think this was the first time it was directly linked to an AI...

I didn't get the full cupcake recipe out of it, but it still gave me and the rest of the team a good chuckle.

Stay safe out there, don't click any links!

We've got a Firewatch Tower! A member of our team just finished it for our game #CrimsonCountyForestService
With some luck you'll get some nice views from it... maybe more?

almost done

Thanks to @arbuze.bsky.social for bringing my lovely birb to life

Vid was phenomenal, keep it up and keep throwing money at all those amazing animators and artists

Now you too can be bad to the bone

Anyway, after way too long, the skeleton's also finished. Just like with the Raven, base textures are all handpainted. Very painful... ow

The GOAT is back
Loved the vid, keep it up, however much shit life throws at ya

I realized, I never uploaded my #conceptart for our Cryptids here

It's not the full list, but some of the core designs that we've put some planning into for mechanics and scenarios

It's finally done. The raven, for our game #CrimsonCountyForestService is rigged, weightpainted, textured and implemented in-engine. Tho we're still lacking anims for it.

Nonetheless, I'm happy that it turned out as good as it did.

Man, you will not believe how serious this #gamedev business is

done

Today are real bird hours

remaking it the third time now lol

One challenge that'll be interesting to solve for CCFS is seeing if we can get away with faux-volumetrics, while still adhering to the 90s aesthetic

Though this example is missing the surrounding fog

I am le animator

very happy with how it looks

The big stompey lad is finished. Well "finished" in the sense that he's textured and in the game. Still, I'm happy with how the result turned out

I shoot

Playing classic #Marathon since it's free on Steam

Pretty enlightening experience seeing some of Bungie's earliest work.
Helps that I haven't gotten to Colonyship for Sale Cheap...

Don't forget "stopped playing the game at some point and never came back"

For any of my Gamedev buddies out there: You can still get a perpetual license for Substance Painter 3D, even on Steam! It might be pricey, but it's still one of the best tools for texturing out there.

And Adobe does own it now... who knows how long we'll have the chance to get a perpetual version

I was recently reminded of a quote from Mordin from ME2: "Cultural, artistic expression reflects philosophical evolution... suspect you won't find any art in Collector base. Culturally DEAD. Tools for Reapers."

A society without art and culture, is one without a soul.
