3D artist, Blender mostly, and I've recently begun dabbling in making a game in Unreal.

"Wizard turns people into blocks to build his tower" existed only in my memory like a fever dream for like 35 years until I rediscovered Unico a couple years ago. Felt a little relieved to find out it was real 😅

I'm like 99% sure Ontario IS its indigenous name. The province is named after the lake.

Artist should be Marcus Prime. Comic is 'Oh Nah'. Shout out to my wife who filled in the blanks for me, I got as far as "I recognize that character!"

Yeah, almost like there was a SARS-CoV1 before there was a SARS-CoV2, back in the 2002 outbreak, a decade before anyone attempted medication patents for it.

They started adding that phrase to the money in the late 1950s, around the time black people were staring to gain rights, and around the same time the klan was erecting statues to the confederacy. The founders did NOT include such things. It was originally E Pluribus Unum, 'Out of Many, One'.

Excitement! Adventure! Bubble-blowing Baby Boys! The SpongeBob movie I worked on just dropped its first teaser trailer! I rigged Patrick and Sandy, and many MANY secondary and background characters. December still feels like such a long way away....

Down is -Z in Unreal and Blender, too. It generally depends what the most important plane is for the task. In film software, screen space is XY, with Z as depth. In (most) game and architecture software, the ground/floor is XY with Z as height (at least that's what I was taught)

Correct my math, but 215 is 1 more than 214, right? I'm not sure where you're getting 6 from the image you posted.

10x10 looks like a more appropriate size to me. Single 8x8 block doesn't really feel like enough ground to stand on, and like the Critter shouldn't really be able to squeeze under that ledge (at least not comfortably).

Commented. I'm not at all confident they'll actually read or care what we have to say, but well worth a minute or two of my time to try, in any case.

I'm not really a game dev (more a 3d artist who started dabbling in Unreal) but I figured it out eventually, so I have full faith it'll click with you! A lot of the really powerful parts of the Ability System requires C++ tho, so my usage is fairly simple (I work primarily in Blueprints)

Are rays more efficient or less prone to bugs? And do things like a sphere trace count as a collider or ray? (Because I'm using a good number of sphere/capsule traces 😅)

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words! 😁 I don't have any good tutorial recs for Blender, specifically. I know Blender defaults all bones to Quaternion, which never behave the way I expect. Switching them to Euler might help? Also Richard Williams' Animators Survival Kit is a top-tier general anim ref

I spent DAYS trying to bake the fur into textures that looked good because I figured the performance hit would be unacceptable. But even on my pathetic rig, it runs fine, and I needn't have worried. Which is good because the textured version looked REALLY BAD 😭

She's FLUFFY! It doesn't even really affect performance, as far as I can tell, which I was worried about. Also worked on the eyes a little, but mostly, she's FLUFFY!! #GameDev #UnrealEngine #furry
A still shot of the Player character mid walk-cycle. She's a black cat wearing a purple dress and a green robe bound with a leather cumberbund. She has green cat-eyes and is carrying her trusty staff (or an early prototype of it, anyway) topped with a Fluorite crystal.

I can't believe I never posted this here! My 6 years at #ReelFX was a blast. Met lots of cool people and got to work on some really fun projects (including a couple that aren't out yet). Here's hoping wherever I find work next is even half as great. #Animation
