DLSS 5 faces look like old school Deepfake face swaps and now that I see it, I can't unsee it. Obviously I know that's not how it works at all (DLSS5 doesn't add or remove geometry; just alters textures and lighting) but in situ, it looks SO SIMILAR to those wonky deepfakes

Still have a million things to do in the scene but still working diligently to try and get this scene shaped up! Going to take a stab at the ticket terminal, scene signage, and getting some foliage next! Lots to do, but really enjoying the scene is coming together! #GameArt #UE5

implore you to check this out; if not for the incredible game that it is then for the incredible studio that I had the utmost pleasure working with during it's production! I had the pleasure of working with some amazing folks at Quarter Up, and I am wishing them all the best!

I am so proud of all of the work the team put into this game to get it into the excellent state that it is in today - it's amazing to see that it has all come together! I had such a fun time helping to build out the initial style for the game, as well as the env art pipeline!

A little progress update on my Sci-Fi Tram scene! Material pass is next up! Also decided to change this to a night scene, which I feel like is working well bonus: you can also see the planet in the background much clearer due to less daytime Rayleigh scattering :D)

A Gym, but a sports/activities gym. Somedays you come in and you’re throwing football WR drills and doing two hand touch. Then the next day a pickup basketball game. Then maybe organized dodgeball the next day. Hell, throw in European handball and ultimate frisbee. I need this.

While I search for full time employment as a Senior Environment Artist, I have also started an Etsy shop selling custom designed wrapping paper! If you would like to help support me and my struggling young family, please consider checking out the shop! www.etsy.com/shop/radpatt...

When I lived in Oceanside, California there was this Taco Bell that was across the street from me that went against franchise recommended prices and had all sizes of their drinks just $1. I think about that Taco Bell often. It was the best.

If that sounds like something that would be fun to try out, head to Fortnite and check out “Squid Game Race!” The island, along with a bunch of other Squid Games Fortnite content, launches today August 14th! 3/

Rogelio Delgado @phantomlights.bsky.social · 14/08/2025

It was a quick 5 weeks sprint that focused on 5 mini-games based on the iconic “Squid Games” elimination games but in the style of a race! (I was the sole Environment Artist on the project) 2/

Still hard at work trying to find a full time work as a Senior Environment Artist, but in the meantime I took 5 weeks away from my personal projects to join a very tiny team working on UEFN Fortnite content for Fortnite’s Squid Games event! 1/

On a personal level, it’s been challenging trying to support my family during this time. We’re suffering. It’s so hard to not feel like I’m failing my wife and our 14-month-old daughter while facing this extreme uncertainty. 4/

Rogelio Delgado @phantomlights.bsky.social · 26/07/2025

But while the uncertainty exists, it has not even began to tamp out the passion that I have for helping create beautiful experiences for people to enjoy and play. It will never alter my love for communicating joy through my art. 3/

The state of the industry right now is so tough, and it doesn’t look like things will get better anytime soon. Not gonna lie, this has made me feel uncertain about the future of being part of this industry… 2/

Rogelio Delgado @phantomlights.bsky.social · 26/07/2025

Still working hard to find my next big adventure, but I have to admit I’m feeling pretty disillusioned. With 13 years of experience in the industry, creating solid work and being dedicated to my craft, it’s hard to process going on so long w/o even reaching a final interview. 1/

When season 4 of Stranger Things released, The Bear hadn’t released a single episode yet. As of this post, The Bear and Stranger Things both have exactly 4 seasons. And Stranger Things season 5 STILL isn’t out yet.
