After a solid run of about 13 years at Double Fine, It seems I have found myself with an abundance of free time. If you know anyone hiring for games VFX, please let me know!

DF is losing some really amazing people today. They are some of the smartest kindest people you can ever work with. Please be on the look out for them as they search for what's next!

Justin is always incredibly helpful, and an all around great guy. He set me up with my work computer on my first day at DF, got me oriented in the office, and DROVE ME HOME at the end of the day. Always going the extra mile. An IT champion.

Fly through of part of a Keeper level directly in the Unreal Engine editor. Part way through I turn on all of the game objects the player doesn't see -- it takes a lot to make games work.

This illustrates the full process of capturing the "Essence" of a mesh to be used in a morph. The distance field is retrieved and then the mesh is projected onto the cube-shaped "screen" in order to pack its surface properties into two cubemaps.

Last year I wrote about the movement systems for Raz that we built on top of Unreal’s CharacterMovementComponent. This covers the architecture of our Move Mode system, how a few of our custom modes work, and a bit about dealing with inconsistent gravity. doublefine.com/news/behind-...

Raz is an acrobat. He runs, jumps, climbs, rolls, swings, and slides through the world.

Devin's posts provide a fun look into the technical details of Raz's movement, definitely worth a read!

Finally got around to properly processing my eclipse photo from April. Took me a few attempts to find a good way to blend the individual exposures, but I'm much happier with the result. Significantly better detail in the corona, and less noisy overall. New image on the left, old on the right.

Since there’s been such a huge influx of people, I figured I should make an intro post. Hey! I’m Aaron, a programmer at @doublefine.com, where I work on engine modifications, cameras, graphics, and whatever else needs to get done. Here’s a video showing the portals that I made for Psychonauts 2.

Drove up into the hills to get a view of comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS), along with its anti-tail! It’s drifting away from us now, but will still be visible for a few days - look for it in the western sky about an hour after sunset.

Due to a last minute change of plans I didn't have my full rig, but I still snapped some photos anyways. Hard to put into words, just wow.
