Working on a stylized project. I sculpted this character and then used a stripped down material setup as opposed to the standard MH materials. I wanted to experiment with audio to animation using UE5 and the results are pretty neat. I also found a decent fix for the head IK ...(1/2) #indiedev

Added sand layer blends to the Bone Machine™️ One levels node controls the sand layer, and individual levels on the bitmap tile samplers driving the bones depth allows for fully customizable layers. #gamedev #substancedesigner #indiedev #madewithsubstance

An image of a video game texture created in Substance Designer that depicts bones buried in sand. The style of the texture is realistic.

My Bungie friends, I’m so sorry. Getting laid off is horrible, and especially en masse like this. You are all creative powerhouses and Sony has made an indelible mistake by letting your talent go. Much love to you all. ✊

The developer of Peak is asking players to be a little more gracious to the studio when requesting updates, saying, "Neither us or [co-developer] Aggro Crab are live service studios, any update is a bonus not a right." bit.ly/4v2uh3T

Reminder that your art doesn’t have to get you anything or have monetary value. You can just make it because you enjoy it and never post it online for engagement dopamine. It can be something that’s yours, for you. Even if you’re the only person who likes it, It can be just as important if others do

The Supreme Court just gutted conversion therapy bans across America 8 to 1. The court just gave the green light to a practice the United Nations calls torture.

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.

hey I am posting this because I didn't know it, and so others might not either: but the BBB has NOT PASSED YET-- it's passed the senate & now it must pass the house. It's time to call reps RIGHT NOW. Johnson is going to push the vote ASAP before backlash can form so the calls need to start NOW.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

What happened last night and today was manufactured propaganda by the Trump admin to justify using the military against Americans. Let us be clear: the military should never police civilians without a request from the state. So much for the so-called party of states’ rights and law and order.
