Organizing material layers to these five that I will be using in my next environment. I decided to incorporate parameters to control blending two normals together at the vertex paint border. Textures made in Designer. #substancedesigner #gameart #UnrealEngine #environmentart #gamedev

Focusing on materials in this part of my next project that I'm working on. I made two different versions of bricks to blend together to add some variation to buildings. #substancedesigner #gameart #UnrealEngine #environmentart #gamedev

www.artstation.com/artwork/a0Z0P9 Spent the last few months working on +1ing my UE skills. It is based on Jourdan Tuffan's Esbatuan watch tower concepts. Finishing this project is a huge weight off my shoulders and I learned so much in the process. I can't wait to make more. #gameart #unreal #3dart

As I'm applying for jobs, I find myself more often leaving the diversity questions blank. I feel that letting recruiters know I'm handicapped or female or a minority is just going to give them even more of a reason not to hire me. Does anyone else feel this way? #diversity #equality #inclusion #dei

Another favorite of mine, I made this bust of Imperious by first making a rough shape in Maya, cleaning it up in Zbrush, and finally texturing it using a combination of Substance and Photoshop. This was a great excuse to practice hard surface modeling. #diablo #gamedev #gameart #3dart #zbrush

This is one of my favorite pieces. I took a hand painting course with @ashdoodles.bsky.social years ago and I highly recommend taking it! This was wonderfully challenging and I'm glad to have had the opportunity! #gameart #gamedev #3dart

I made this dope suction up gun for #Underlords boss Enno. I absolutely loved building it. You can see all the high poly and final work on the thread below! #gamedev #gameart #3Dart

I don't post much on here because I don't have anything content worthy. I've been laid off from my position as an environment artist at Blizzard; just another expense that needed to be cut so the shareholders can make it through the winter, I guess.

About 58,000 Ford workers are getting profit-sharing checks of up to $10,400. Profit-sharing is one of the huge benefits negotiated by the @UAW. Temporary workers will also qualify for profit-sharing for the 1st time. That's the union difference. www.freep.com/story/money/...

Ford UAW employees get bigger profit-sharing checks for 2023 despite strike
Temporary Ford employees will be eligible for profit-sharing for the first time too, and the checks up are from $9,176 a year ago.

what if he spoke like this from now on
Knuckles the echidna, palming his fist as he glares with a smirk.
"Well Buckle My Chuckles.." he says,
"What do we have here?"
