The fucking head of fucking XBox Graphics used a fucking "AI" slop image to hire new engineers but couldn't tell that the fucking screen on the fucking monitor is facing backwards.
Linked In post from Mike Matsel, Principle Development Lead, XBox Graphics: 

"The XBox Graphics team is hiring folks with experience with device drivers, GPU performance, or related validation or engineering system experience. If the positions are closed and you want to apply, please message me!"

And below it is an "AI" slop that reads in white on green "XBOX GRAPHICS IS HIRING" and an image of a woman in a green sweater wearing earpods typing on a computer, except the "AI" has put the screen on the back of the monitor.

Everything you make looks like it was made by you. To us, that's awesome! to you it makes all your past work become worse, and the new one become nothing new. But its a skewed view of what you make. When we see your work, we see what you can do. When you see your work, you see what you can't make.

one thing I miss from teaching 3d modeling is the little diagrams I used to make explaining basic concepts. Loads of students would walk up to the board to take pictures even after I said I'd provide a PDF file with the same stuff. #3d

I think I do. I dislike how in blender I can't select vertices on the other side unless I'm in xray mode. I know what I'm doing! Its my model. LET ME!

Marco Vale @marcovalekaz.bsky.social · 20/12/2024
I feel like one of my main skills in 3D modeling is being good at selecting stuff. Like a specific set of vertices or a certain pattern of edges

Whenever I draw faces I try and draw or at least visualize an underlying structure. It's what makes drawing faces from imagination easier. Its built from basic primitives which are represented in the perspective I need #drawing #sketch

I was just reminded of this video. Not sure people now have any idea of the impact that this video, its art direction, the acting, the voice acting, had when it came out. It was just a completely different level of style and art direction www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHgZ...

Yeah, 169. "To you turquoise is blue" - yeah no shit. Its a tint of cyan, usually called turquoise BLUE! You have to mix a whole other color into cyan to make it green.

I find it interesting how much detail you add on the mesh even though it's going to be flat shaded. Particularly like the additional detail where there are silhouette shapes, like the sock stripes. Delightful work!
