Finally had some time over to try out ZBrush! Made an Orc. It's been quite a while since I did some sculpting but I think I got something decent done! Soooo much better than Blender's sculpting options. #3D #3DArt #Gamedev #ZBrush

As a kid long ago, the very first 3D model I ever made was a Tiger tank....in Google Earth. It was only made out of a few boxes and cylinders.

Almost 20(?) years later - I thought I'd take another shot at it. Very much still WIP!

Been trying to figure out a good (And somewhat simple) way to make a lava lamp material in Unreal. I think I finally got it!

On the topic of water - Here's a waterfall!

I didn't make the particles but I made the shader + model for the actual "fall" part πŸ˜… Squonched the UVs at the bottom to make it fall faster further down.

I got to redo our Steam capsule art in time for our recent update. I'm happy with how it turned out. Mech + farming is a winning combo!

The ~Delivery Cannon~ in all its glory! Was very fun to make. The idea being that it's using gravitational force to sling cargo containers to nearby planets! #Gamedev #Unrealengine #Indiegames #Games #Xbox #Gamepass #Blender

Still thinking about that Fear Factor episode where the challenge was just to get your hair cut off and most players dropped out.

I absolutely adore the global illumination in Kingdom Come 2. It adds so much lushness to the trees. And it runs incredible. Well done Warhorse Studios!

250 hourglasses spent and got nothing good to show for it. A friend of mine had not saved any hourglasses but got immersive Dialga in their first pack...

But I got Mew in Pokemon Blue so that means I win right? Right?? 😭
