Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.

P2 walking tank in engine, next to P1 (who I want to update to match quality, but waiting to finish P3). For ref, here's my Blender->UE5 export settings: - model neg-Y forward, bones Z-up - "smoothing groups" preserves hard/soft edges - triangulate faces avoids minor shading inconsistencies

resident evil: the movie: the game #re

Fan-comic of the Resident Evil live action movie:
“He got real lucky on his route, huh”

First panel Bryan is struggling to hold a lot of the puzzle items from the games. He reads the sheet of paper with the Chess Piece Plug Puzzle clue: “‘the rook and knight are on the same wall and the bishop and queen aren’t next to each other. The queen and rook are opposite each other too…’ so this doesn’t need the gems? Why do I have gems???”

Second panel, Bryan is thinking as hard as he can over Chess Piece Plug Puzzle placements

Third panel, Bryan’s deflated: “can’t this just be like everything else and have a huge stupid padlock?”

I have collected the spectrum of replies. Most useful: "consider edge-loop detection" (which is useful for editing but means you can crunch-down for silhouette finaling before UVs). Least useful: "polycounts don't matter" (a) stylized modeling has benefits beyond perf (b) consider collision meshes.

I spend way too much time overthinking low-poly/hard-surface modelling topology. Like is the top shape better because it's all quads, or is the bottom shape better because it doesn't have unnecessary geo??

Sample screenshot of some hard-surface modeling that I'm overthinking.

It's genuinely hard to express, for people who didn't live through 9/11, how mask-off racist towards Muslims "bipartisan America" became, and how so many current events are explicable by understanding that Those Exact Same Politicians are still in power.

Using the word "woke" as if it means what reactionaries mean by it is letting yourself be interpellated into a reactionary and crypto-racist frame, and we shouldn't. You can't say "politically correct" without putting reactionary trash in your mouth and brain; this version of "woke" is the same.

#math pet peeve: explaining homogenous coordinates as though w is a "type identifier" that tells you "if you have a point or vector." Makes it feels too much like magic. Easier to just give a geometric analogy: the w=1 subspace is a "canvas" that you "point at" to simulate translation...

Added pressure plates as another means of activating things. Each plate can require different mass values to be triggered requiring the player to use varying ammo or objects to weigh them down. Also experimenting with more of the environment emerging from the water. #UE5 #gamedev #indiedev

Ok, after about a dozen revisions I think I have enough of a rough-draft design to start modelling in Blender and refining. Took me a while to give up on the idea that it's got a big spider-like abdomen, so that the "from the rear" view that you mostly see in-game has a more interesting silhouette.
