Got a bunch done this weekend! •Lucky can now detach and reattach cleanly. •Lucky can now draw bodies and items, getting slower with each item tugged. •Lucky can now latch onto NPCs and control them. Even change the HUD color during that. (And sooo much code base cleanup.) #CherubDev #UE5 #GameDev

An introduction post. I am a freelance concept artist and illustrator based in western France. I explore mostly sci-fi themes for movies, games and books. Furthermore, I am currently working on my first art book, a compilation of personal works.

🥳 New Video Alert! In this 15-min deep dive, I walk through an experimental scriptable tool I built that fetches textures in material light functions to paint light dynamically, all in-editor. Check it out! 🔥

Yup! Automatic smoothing and auto hardening don't provide definition where it's needed, so it's important to custom pick them

-offkey- Etila Treeborn she's got it going on~ #art #nsfw #pinup #warhammer bsky.app/profile/sall...

Let's go to Nurgle City where the fever runs hot and the rot has tiddies.
A picture of OP's character Etila Treeborn for Warhammer Fantasy/the Old World, a Nurgle gardener. She is a thickly built woman with pallid grey-purple-greenish skin and long braided hair made up of bleached white tree roots. She us wearing a conical metal helmet fitted with a face visor as well as a leather shoulder thingie and gloves, but all of it is covered in fluffy blue mold, clusters of tiny mushrooms, larger shelf fungi, slime mold and other bullshit. She is showing as much underboob as physically possible without any nipples technically being visible.

Another sdf-related tool. Nothing too fancy, this one bakes a 2D distance field for actors containing spline component(s). Might come in handy for shorelines etc. I'll do a breakdown of the scriptable tool BP in my upcoming video.

Every time I try to generate a material via BP/Python, I hit dead ends😩. Was hoping to generate a volumetric material asset, but apparently, you can't connect anything to the Extinction material property... Doing that in CPP isn't worth investing the time for my particular case.

Archival footage like this of a place that no longer exists is the kind of ref you should just let wash over you and watch it when it suddenly appears in your recommendation like this just did for me. A Space is not just how it looks but its how its used and the people that do so and their history.

Continuing with my Niagara/Grass experiments... Here, a regular grass clump mesh is instanced about 64 times and each card is injected into a buffer to be individually simulated. I still need to fix plenty of issues & write to velocity buffer to fix TAA artifacts but it's a start
