it's kinda sad now that I think about it the reason I stopped doing environment art was because I no longer had access to maya and secondarily, this was probably why I stopped game jamming, because without 3D modeling, I couldn't get my vision realized anymore

here's a small tool I made for Unity: Selection To Cursor it allows you to teleport (and/or paste) currently selected objects to the cursor position - super handy for environment artists and level designers alike git: github.com/SalomonRemi/... youtu.be/jl2kb_N1JVE?... #unity3d #gamedev

Also, GDC is full of women who KNOW. If you're a woman at a party or in an uncomfortable situation, look for other women. Approach ANY older woman with a look of worry and she will know and chances are she'll drop everything to help immediately. We take care of each other.

Unless you've worked in the industry and shipped a couple of games you may not realize how common it is for games to have internal delays. That is, the production initially plans to launch the game by a certain year and quarter but those plans change before that is announced. Thats normal and common

nice extended version of a cheap uv-domain triplanar shader I demonstrated back in 2017! it's very very cheap as it doesn't result in multiple samples per texture *and* it's reusable due to the nature of how the projection is achieved, unlike traditional triplanar. pros and cons in reply below:
