A little something regarding Saros ❤️

I finally got around to posting some professional artwork into my portfolio, from SE:R. See all the environment shots, in 4k, in the link below. #gamedev #gameart #art www.artstation.com/artwork/Nq0OR5

It's interesting that when playing BioShock Remastered on Epic Games Launcher, you trigger and unlock achievements inside the game, but any integration to see them, track them, get points from them, when outside the game, is totally missing. Can't tell if it's a bug or something unfinished.

It's mid-September, I've not even seen much Halloween decorations yet, but my friend went to Tesco and came back home with crisps "pigs in blankets" flavour and lots of Christmas decorations on the packaging. Madness.

In and out of the blue and red portals. I was setting up some camera angles for some thumbnails yesterday, so have one. #gamedev #art #UE5 #b3d

misc screenshots from various texture tests and experiments in Quake

No other joy quite like doing a bake and getting no artifacts from the first go. No name mismatches between -low and -high, no bad normals or AO. You feel like a geometry witch.

I've nearly wrapped up the tutorials I'm making, and then I can go back to doing the art on my tower, which keeps me pretty excited. Making tuts were a nice break from it. That green, textureless, land really calls for some stylized tiling mats, might tackle that first.

The Neon Graveyard (2019) Second scene I did in UE4 back when I was learning the engine. #art #artist #cyberpunk #3Dart

One of my friends was saying she needs to figure out a new part of a pipeline and she wishes instead she had some mindless retopo quad draw to do, for a break. It’s so relatable. I find retopo, UV mapping or LOD fixing by hand really relaxing sometimes, after a demanding tasks.

You're saying it's expected to get up to 40,000 people. Which, while sizeable - enough to get a live blog - is less than half the number of people who turned out for Trans Pride a little while back. Which you pretty much ignored, because hating trans people is on brand for @theguardian.com

Remember when 100,000 people turned out to support trans people a few weeks ago? No? Probably because the media entirely ignored it, because it doesnt suit your narrative.

Lots of games in my backlog but The Oldest House calls to be revisited on a Steam Deck. I obliged.

Just posted my latest environment to Artstation! This sure took some time but i'm super happy with the results and did learn a lot about trimsheets! www.artstation.com/artwork/8Bn50n #gameart #environmentart #stylized

I wrote a new game dev blog post, let's go. petedimitrovart.com/p/tutorial-c... I mean, it kind of indexes what some of you have already seen a few times, but perhaps it might introduce new people to the tutorial series as well. #indiegamedev #tutorial #art #UE5

making HL2 inspired Z-billboarded volumetric light shader in godot. love this trick for how stupidly effective it is for distant lights

I ended up making 5 of these time lapses when I did the look dev on this project and have only shared one. Lots of fun to plop a couple of cameras down and just grab shots whenever you add stuff. #3dart #gameart

Have to say looking at my feed on LinkedIn and it being just a near constant stream of artists and devs with all of us in the same boat looking for work I’m impressed with everyone just posting and continuing with working on their respective portfolios and learning. All we can do is keep trying.

And in the mids of the craze, the UK gov said it will turn us into a "tech innovation hub" for it. All led to no improvements and no jobs, but when someone coincidentally stole my identity to sell the BS, gov and police forms didn't even have the correct fields so I could make a proper crime report.

For anyone interested in the game art process, I’ve got blog posts and a few articles about the making of this scene. Written back a few years ago whilst I was making the thing. petedimitrovart.com/categories/a... #gamedev #3Dart #art #gameart

Exporting portfolio shots of our work on "Mud and Thunder" for SE:R here at Rebellion. In the meantime, have some early blockouts from Design vs finalized Envo Art. #gamedev #art #gaming (Design - Chris Palmer. Environment Art by me)

you ever just enjoy problem solving to the degree where you get bored of projects without problems to solve

The thing I love about living in Liverpool is everyday you walk and go “this city is so Gotham I just can’t have enough of it” but then one day every few years you walk and you randomly find yourself among tons of Gotham filming props and an active scene. Yesterday was one of those days.

A company that during hiring ghosted me now sends an email, "Could we keep your information, pretty please?" No. I know it's automated email, so I'm being petty towards a machine, but how about you mess off.

I have been in the industry 14 years now and have been part of 14 games and many of them and my personal work can be seen on my portfolio and I'm available for environment work in the UK, Here is some work for 4 of them titles. #gamedev #3dart www.artstation.com/pikminman

I've avenged you, Daddysadcow, rest in peace.

youtu.be/aQWppu2EaXQ In this next tutorial part, we take the Niagara system, and we recolor it a few times. #gamedev #UE5 #tutorial This is the final one on the art, and in the next one we will dive into Blueprints for gameplay.

Back when I went for my first appointment, my uber driver turned out to be a nurse working part-time. He was encouraging and supportive. Later I put 2 and 2 together and realized it was not a coincidence, he was picking people like me to drive and to reassure those worried. It was incredibly kind.

I'm editing a new tutorial and at some point, on screen, all my shaders start to recompile after I drop to game. In the last second, I made this face, I got scared UE5 broke or something. Typical game dev adventures.

I was having a nice day and then Photoshop happened.

Will game dev art for money.

when your code runs fine first try

I’m convinced that if you slap enough perlin and noise textures, at varying enough scales, you could pull off anything you want. Grass - ✅ Clouds - ✅ Water - ✅ Unconditional love - ✅ Tiling textures and shaders truly are a work of wonder.

Try to recognize the role nostalgia plays in your #gamedev philosophy. You can appreciate the progress of design across classic games, while also acknowledging that many of those games are relatively unplayable for a modern audience. It's not the specifics you are chasing, it's the *feel*

Here's a small scene Ive been messing with in ue5, Had an Idea to create a hallway where this transitional space has plants that are sustained by artificial lights and other elements, more about the scene here: www.artstation.com/artwork/L4G5rv #gameart #enviormentart #hardsurface #3d #ue5

In this episode of DF Direct I talk about Microsoft's planned "Advanced Shader Delivery" for Direct X, which as it stands, is currently the PC industry's most realistic chance at eliminating shader compilation stutter for good. Relying on individual devs has proven to be unreliable at best (1/5).

A little work in progress on the twilight tavern, its been a while since I shared an update on this one! The teapot and lamp are also in this environment 🤗 #gameart #stylized #workinprogress
