Been sick for almost 3 weeks, what a plague to catch. Still, was able to remake a old sequence as a first pass. Also got to play with Houdini for the crater which was a blast. #unity #realtimeVFX #vfx #monster #stylized

Taking a stab at solo dev and teaching myself Unreal 5's Blueprint system in the process. Keeping the visuals real basic till I get the gameplay feeling tight, cause I know I'll get distracted if I don't 😅 #gamedev #game #dev #UE5 #UnrealEngine #blueprints #indiegames

Been struggling to add more of these since a lot of the old .FBX files of these turrets and characters got corrupted. But today, found the .max files and quickly downloaded a trial of 3DS max to open them and they work! Going to add more, keeps my sanity going with this rough job market 😅

Reworked up the Flamethrower mod for the Cannon from my first mobile game, MonstroCity. Modernized it and got it looking a lot more "liquidy fire" Turret rotates slightly each time it fires to really spread the damage. #realtimeVFX #vfx #rtvfx #unity #gamedev #gameart

Finished up the reworked Zap Turret VFX from my first mobile game, MonstroCity. Even was able to salvage up the original audio with it. MonstroCity was my first job as a VFX artist 8 years ago, feels almost wild and therapeutic to remake it #realtimeVFX #gamedev #gameart

Been lost to a moody brain, then thought, "Hey, why don't you remake some of the first VFX you ever did?!" So, first pass of me remaking the Zap Turret VFX from MonstroCity. Going to really work on that hit effect more, but I do love the "wet" nature of the beam #RealtimeVFX #gamedev #gameart

Getting into the environment now, just trying out grass to see what I can pull off. Pleased for a first pass Gotta maximize the cute nature vibes. See what it'll look like with flowers, bugs and trees soon. #VFX #RTVFX #Unity #Shadergraph

I open my Bluesky feed and it is full of really cool people saying really smart things and being really passionate about really interesting stuff. I like this version of social media, and the world. Thanks, folks.

First little experience with Houdini (one hell of a complicated program) but that was cool once it got working. Rest of it is made in Unity #VFX #Houdini #Unity #TimeSpell

Working a fun game with some other ex-Alpha Dog buddies and did some VFX exploration towards our "new" horde shooting game. This was really fun to be just wild and try new stuff.
