This is in comparison to a more composited style effect of just masking out the shape and layering that behind. This is nice and sharp/punchy/easy to render but I dunno. Lacks something personality wise.

This is just manually duplicating the meshes and offsetting atm. Leaning towards the vagrant story separate mesh duplicating method, I like that you still get some textures preserved in the light. Looks ghostly from other angles.

Another little render setup test. Not in-game stuff yet but I think some kind of global rim light thing could be neat. Thinking of stuff like Vagrant Story / Persona 3 Reload.

Keen observers may notice he has them tenchu hands hahaha, just had to try it. I'm sure plenty of other games do this but I love the trick now.

A 3d view of a model's hand. Which is a cube, it looks like a balled up fist with the way it's textured.

Some extra editor shots of the cook / dino croc head fella.

Got this character all done and rigged up! Really enjoying making em so far. I think he ended up a little under 1k tris, and a single 128x128 texture.

Kinda love these hands for the Tenchu 1 guards that are literally just cubes haha. even the UVs for the "knuckle and fist" are re-used on each side. Super neat stuff.

A close up of the tenchu guard's hand. Showing off a wireframe revealing it's really just a distorted cube.

The layout makes me think of a Shining Force game or something, tho I'm not super familiar with em. I hope you find your game!

I believe I've found the episode of Star Trek TNG in which blue LEDs first appear I don't know if this actually matters to anyone else, but I think it's a neat way to show how the physical style of a show can be altered by something as small as a new type of LED being put into mass production

Oh yeah a big part of all this for me is getting to cut out bits of things I don't love working on so I can feel more comfortable iterating/reworking. Moreso than even smart asset sharing, I just want it to be so straightforward I could do it a dozen times and figure out what sticks!

I've seen the light, now to make a million takedown animations

Been playing Brush Burial: Gutter World a fair amount lately and got the idea to try out the more segmented limbs. Same deal referencing the Tenchu 1 models. I'm liking the tradeoffs, expressive stuff without eating up all my time just rigging/animating.

I did a full little render test of this guy I've been working on to see how his rig is working. I'm really enjoying this segmented style, wayyy easier to set some things up.

I've been modeling / rigging my bug guyyyyy. I might be having fun again making freaky lil guys

A blender viewport view of an anthropomorphic character with a bug head. Skin is purple/grey toned, he's got some baggy orange and green pants and a cool little vest jacket. He looks pretty similar to his concept art in the background.

A blender viewport view of the same character, posed with his little hands curled up. Kind of a stealthy cautious pose.

A blender viewport view of the same character from the back. You can see his jacket with what appears to be a pixelated large jacket patch of a bug head on it.

Weekend done, time to hang it up. Many rough edges, but I'm still having fun. Going to completely rewrite the weapon grab mechanic. It's surprising how enjoyable an NPC with a basic (random attack + walk direction) type brain can be. Oh. I added an 808 kick to the Kill Confirm. #CherubDev #UE5

Drew a bug guy, might be doing a model for him and some others soon 🤔

A series a sketches of a guy with a bug head. Purple skin, baggy orange and green pants. Kind of a rough odd posed freaky lil guy. His face features are very grasshopper like

Been ripping models from Tenchu to kinda see what they looked like. I'm really liking the fidelity of these... might try to do something similar soon.

A set of low poly characters from the game Tenchu. Showing Ayame, two enemy NPCs, a non hostile geisha npc, and a mean little dog.

NEW VIDEO: In 2006 a Washington DC based think tank hired future lead designers of Civilization and XCOM to make a strategy game based on a documentary about nonviolent protest. 20 years later I'm here to tell you why. youtu.be/dmL7Ph4Us8o

Right I'm really into the slightly grungy early 00's thing atm too, and something about these kinds of games fit into that so well. A little gloomy but a lot of depth and charm to what they were going for, very excited to see first hand haha.

pintozilla @pintozilla.com · 02/08/2026

These samplings of it make me want to check it out so much now. You REALLY know how to pick em, I always want to check them out haha.

monster hunter 1 is the perfect intersection of my love for atmospheric ambient music with nature sounds and gritty slow paced fantasy worlds that demand a lot of u and i think thats so fuckin awesome

Haha oh jeez I can't imagine, slowly whittling my way through Generations Ultimate and I can see why the games are so coop heavy. Not because it's just fun to do, but because everything is so scary help!
