A screenshot of three 3D armored arms showing object space normals. On the far left, labeled Base, is an arm with smooth color gradients. In the middle, labeled Posterize, is the same arm with fewer colors in big bands. On the right, labeled Smudge, is the posterized normal map with smudges to turn it into something that looks painted.

In case anyone's interested, this is the process I'm using to generate normals for the painterly portfolio project I'm working on. This is in Substance Painter, but you could also do it in Photoshop or 3D Coat

I convert them to tangent space after the fact, but you could also do that in a shader

Today is my Birthday!

If you want to congratulate me, the best gift would be to retweet my drawings🙏💖

Thank you for sticking with me💐

I take accessibility very seriously, so the colors in gameplay will be fully customizable, including presets for common types of color blindness.

I storyboarded a fan anime opening for my favorite childhood game, megaman legends /ロックマンDASH I wanted to animate the whole thing, but that’s way too much effort. Did it in a way where I can fulfill that childhood dream and move on. Maybe one day I'll form a MAP project out of this!

I have exciting news for you all:
HYPERBEAT will be releasing this fall! Wishlist the game on Steam to stay in the loop.

Also, come join our lovely community on our brand new Discord server discord.gg/7hNQbm82Vu

Cute cartoon car brightly coloured and stylised with an ice cream on top of it

Still frame from a 3D stylised crow model, a non-humanoid vtuber from my own design.

Illustration piece of a dark woods, in greyscale.

Still image of a gif, of a stylised Bearded vulture in low-poly 3D. Designed, rigged, animated by myself.

Welp, I've just found out that my role has been made redundant 🫠... So I will be looking for work!

If anyone is looking for a 2D/3D Generalist or Art Director for games (particularly specialising in stylised projects!) please shout! From concepts > modelling > animating thru to implementation 💛✨

Seattle Indies Expo Seattle Indies Expo is a free, yearly, one-day exhibition of the Pacific Northwest’s up and coming indie video games. What better way to escape the crowds of PAX than with the coolest of indie games?

i’ll be attending PAX this saturday! for anyone in the seattle area, highly recommend checking out the seattle indies expo on sunday: six.seattleindies.org it’s got booths for a bunch of small local indies devs and it’s 100% free!!!

We'll be showing HYPERBEAT off at @themix.bsky.social tonight, and we'll be around all of PAX Weekend.
Please come say hi if you have the time!

Arches national park, a full moon shines through the opening of red rock like the iris of an eye.

Mother Earth is watching. Don't be complicit.

Waoh if your at PAX this weekend you should give the AIE booth a visit and play runebow!!

Multiple screenshots of a sphere with feather type shapes simply stuck onto it. There are multiple types of vertex normal projections put onto the feathers showing different methods for smoothing them

Something I put together a couple years ago when I was working on multiple different projects that needed feathers

Working on a new prototype codenamed Hover. Looking forward to getting this more fleshed out!

We've got a lot of in-person events coming up, and our wishlist cards just came in. Very happy with how they came out!

It's summer, so it's time to visit some amazing islands.

whimsy is the only weapon i need

my friend gave up a little fragment of their soul for this game so check it out maybe?

how many more fit pics till the furries show up?

sorry headphone users :_:

The fight for survival begins! Runebow is out now on Itch.io for free. Can you survive each encounter and make it out the other side alive?

Tomorrow will mark the release of the project ive been spending the past 3 months working hard on!

Trailer and release build drop tomorrow for Runebow!!

free advice for game developers: try to make the next smash hit video game, such as grand theft auto. if you do, you'll be making more than just a video game – you'll be making millions of dollars

Focused on art for the last few days

as long as there are stars up above,

A 3 by 3 grid of colours with sample colours and numerical codes to show which colour corresponds to which direction in a normal map Top left: bright green - 0, 255, 128 Top centre: lime green- 128, 255, 128 Top right: yellow - 255, 255, 128 Centre left: teal - 0, 128, 128 Centre (unchanged normal): light blue - 128, 128, 255 Centre right: salmon - 255, 128, 255 Bottom left: dark blue - 0, 0, 128 Bottom centre: purple - 128, 0, 128 Bottom right: pink - 255, 0, 128 Additional notes show that a change in angle from bottom to top varies green from 0 to 255. A change in angle from left to right varies red from 0 to 255. Blue varies from 128 to 255 to describe in angle perpendicular to the actual texture through to facing fully upward

I got tired of looking up normals so I made myself a cheatsheet

If you're not already aware, a normal map renders a pixel at a fake angle determined by the colour. E.g. yellow tilts the pixel toward the top right. (79, 102, 179) would be leftwards and slightly down

I've been gearing up to dive back into some personal 3D printing projects. It's been way too long and I've been really itching to take advantage of the new printer I got. First on the list is to reprint this guy. This previous print was okay, but I think I'll be able to do better this time.
