I just added a way to set the river current strength in some area. I need a way to bake it inside the mesh to be able to convey it visually too 😅 I wonder if I could make it a simple tool script that inspects my scene and edits the water's vertex color. I need to investigate. 🕵️

Enchanted Magikarp #pokemon #art
a colourful scribbly line art drawing. Closing in on a magikarp staring at a magic orb held up by some crab at the beach. The carp seems mesmerized. The orb sparkles.

RIP Bobby Prince. His music legacy will live on, making inspired music for Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, countless others. A true legend. And such a nice man, great musician, wonderful, fun-loving man, nothing but happy memories of him. A loss to the world.

Saddened to hear Bobby Prince left us this week. So many of us grew up with his music, notably Commander Keen, Wolfenstein and Doom. There's a video of a visit to Id Software, where he passionately talks about composing the music in Keen, I always loved that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpEB...

Been working on and off for a little while now on this project, and I'm happy to say it's now finished ! I wanted to make something inspired by Marathon's art style and liminal spaces and see where that direction would take me. I'm incredibly happy with how it turned out 💖 #gameart #blender #ue5
