Still pretty WIP but I think I'll start doing some proper groom tomorrow

YouTube video by FactPointVideo Full: PM Mark Carney speaks at World Economic Forum in Davos

Mark Carney wonderfully articulates how to move forward in this changing world, that hoping things will go back to how they were is a fools errand, and how we can try to stay strong, whilst retaining our values. I would highly recommend watching.

Kept working on this ugly guy and brought it into unreal to test my shaders.
Still very #wip

Grok is so much worse than you think.

A young gorilla and an adult are resting in the grass. The adult gorilla is laying down and looking through the grass, while the young one sits upright picking his nose

An adult snow leopard stands over two young cubs

A close-up of a newborn lemur's face, with eyes open and catching the light, surrounded by his mother's fur

A young takin leaps from a rock

Other infant denizens of the site include young gorillas of all ages, snow leopard cubs, common brown lemur newborns, and baby takins!

These photos, too, are free-to-use for artists creating derivative/transformative works (sans AI).

Glad to see takins getting some appreciation! Also baby leopards!

Been on vacation for the last few weeks and I started working on a vulture during the cool hours

Just want to have a go at building a small environment for my game characters to chill in

Most of what I actually did this year is still under NDA but at least the old KCD2 stuff is out.

I don't know I feel like meta poisoned the VR landscape when they made people associate "metaverse" with horizon world's and just the general Facebook vive.
And I think other companies would have stuck with it longer if not for metas monopoly

A family of griffons are watching a bright falling star.

Spammy day today folks, because I've -finally-
**UPDATED MY PRINT SHOP**
I'll post about what's new on there, let's start with some classic Dnd illustration :)

managed to do some simple grabbing with a set constrain component and the physical animation component.
problem is I got really into the gameplay possibilities of fully physicalized animation and now I want to dive into the physics control component, mover and scope creep myself to hell🫠

This is great! I've been making animals for the past year and gathering references has been getting more and more challenging

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Yep euphoria is pretty much the peak active ragdoll+procedural animation example!

Decided to make a grab ability and ended up falling into a rabbit hole of precedural animation and active ragdolls

Legends say the next valve index gets announced today!

decided the change the general vibes of these guys to be more feral and use their claws instead of weapons, also got health and poise attributes working along with knockback and death Gameplay abilities.

Im trying to add hit reactions to the lizards but instead I managed to turn them into weeb ninjas.

hello my name is Riccardo I make fake people for video games, I worked on Mafia: The Old Country and TopSpin 2k25

I'm currently looking for the next step in my career so please shoot me a message if you're interested

This looks so fucking metal, I can’t wait!

Thanks to my hot programmer GF I now have GAS implemented!
all the attacks and dodges are now abilities with stamina costs and the stamina is used to influence the utility of those abilities!
Also Damage is now much easier to implement (hence the capsule traces on attacks)!

Genndy Tartakovsky shared test footage from his film ‘The Black Knight’. It follows a knight who controls a 20ft suit of armor. Sony isn't sure there's an audience for the film and haven’t greenlit it yet.

After Kpop demon hunters success I don't understand why Sony are dragging their feet on this!

Did some small improvements to the Toadboii's state tree and movement stats so they feel a bit more skittish and slippery when fighting.
Next I'll look into giving them some small avoidance so they dont bump into each other so often!
