Online interactions make so much more sense, when you realize everyone views you as equal or lesser than them. Add that to the fact that... people who aren't intelligent, can't fathom people more intelligent than themselves. It's why so many arguments make no sense

UE5 environment

If people making fun of genAI is making shareholders nervous which makes Satya Nadella nervous, I would simply suggest not investing over 50% of your entire company's holdings in genAI This one simple trick

“Notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein played a role in convincing Bobby Kotick to embrace loot boxes, essentially gambling for children” what is this sentence, what is this world

All those CEOs stepping down, getting divorced and disappearing from the public eye, during the Biden administration, makes SO MUCH sense now. Also, I'm convinced all 3 elections were rigged and only for keeping the Epstein files hidden. The attacks on mail in voting makes so much sense now.

Reworked the lights. Done tinkering with masks...I think. Might refine those and the main trim one more time. Still gotta add the cable stuff. The light is at the end of the tunnel. Learned a lot about substrate in UE5.7. this has been extremely fun. #3Dart #UE5 #b3D #Destiny #scifi #wip

We’re airing a new campaign ad, starting tomorrow. Here it is:

Got some RGB masks and color pallets going. Been super fun experimenting with color pallets. Not sold on em yet. Still gotta do crates and cables. #WIP #3DArt #UE5 #b3D

First ads, now this. OpenAi may have just made itself virtually unusable

Light and decal sheets done and applied. Refined and remapped some stuff too. Might do more, especially in the hall. Gonna do some crates, cables and stuff too. After I do the RBG masks. Then reworking the lighting and post processing. Potentially the color scheme as well.

ICE is filled with failures with a power fantasy. People deemed mentally and/or physically unfit to be police officers. People likely court martialed from the military and now ineligible to be a law enforcement. It was obvious last year, this was inevitable. People who never went

The Sucker Punch employee should get a bag too

Just learned GPUs are now gonna be $5000 USD this year. Is pc a dying platform? make sure you optimise your games

Guess I made the right decision. GPU prices going up next year

I swear the NFL MVP discourse gets dumber and angrier every year

Went ahead and got a 5070ti. Not sure what the future holds with computer tech, but having 16GB of Vram now, just felt like the right move.

A bit more edits and what now. About to go make the light and decal sheets now. Then some RBG masks for the walls for some light dirt, grim and variation. Using Substrate for that glass. Wanna use it for everything else and see how much it can do. #WIP #3DArt

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

Hi I'm Des and I do prop and environment art in the games industry and here is a collection of some of my personal projects.

There's a reason why maga politicians actually struggle. People understand what Trump says is insane, when it comes out of other people's mouths. They're gonna scare away a lot of people on the right, with BLATANT racism. Trump "hid" enough that they can give the benefit of the doubt.

Adjustments and edits everywhere. Made a glass Shader with substrate (I see the vision. I dig it). A few environment adjustments. Laying down the majority of the new trim around. And yes...I did the door. I think I'm gonna finish building our everything before decals. #WIP #3Dart #Destiny2

So the money Trump says he’s “giving to our troops” is money that was already supposed to be going to our troops?

Been a good 2025...as far as art is concerned. Grew alot. Did some of my best work. Can't wait to do more next year. #artstation #2025recap

... sigh. I saw it coming but I didn't wanna believe it.

The substrate material system in UE5 is something else. It's starting to make sense. Moves from Roughness/Metallic to Roughness/Spec. Kinda dig it.

Y'know something...is generative AI...ai in general, was as good as they keep saying it is, then they wouldn't need to spend as much time and money with the constant PR spins on it, trying to tell us how good it is. Nobody had to convince you that a cell phone was incredible.

Hi GameDevs please share to help your friends get hired. We are opening more roles: www.absurdventures.com/careers

Laying down some trims, base materials and first pass post processing. Time to start my decal and second trim sheet. Wait...I forgot the door. #WIP #3DArt #Destiny2

The more frequent I see CEOs speaking super publicly, the more I'm convinced that specific company is STRUGGLING, behind doors. Never to a few expected times a year? They're solid. Dang near every week (like Scam Altman)? Yeah...they BURNING through cash or are openly committing fraud.

Lets all pitch in. By far the best 3D software I've used and continues to get better. They actually CARE about their users. A small donation can go a long way. Keep Blender active. Keep Blender free. I try to donate at least $25/year. Might got $5/month from now on. fund.blender.org

Blender is struggling. it's the best piece of 3d software on the market, and it's free. I'm not going back to autodesk. please donate if you can! fund.blender.org

The funniest thing about watching entertainers "escape" LA, is...it's always someone that makes you go "who are you" or "you haven't been in anything in YEARS!" Always someone who barely has a career or is washed up. You rarely get someone who's currently doing well.

I've noticed...alot of Ai bros and enthusiasts, don't follow or meaningfully interact with any artists on their own accord. It explains their extreme disconnect with why artists hate Ai.

I'm begging you all in the media. Please read the emails for more than 2 seconds. They don't just say Trump "knew" about underage girls. THE EMAILS SAY HE PERSONALLY PARTICIPATED.

Turn off Autorun Python in your Blender preferences as a precaution

Because, even after over EIGHT YEARS, they still seem to not be able to grasp that they aren't dealing with a McCain or a Romney. How has EVERYONE but them adjusted to how he should be treated???!???!? World leaders, State level leaders and all understood. Congress? Not so much.

Little bit of refinement. It's about time to actually make my Textures, Trims and Decals. #WIP #3DArt

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

I've said this a year ago. They're just making it to look good on some manufactured benchmark that likely has zero value to 99.9% of users. It's why they repeatedly say "we did good on this benchmark". It never mattered.

Got my block outs done. Time to have some fun. #WIP #3Dart

My son was basically a celebrity trick or treating tonight. He was on cloud 9 from all the attention. Worth the effort!

Reminder that the new influx of pro-MAGA troll farm accounts are being ran by TPUSA operatives. It is a mix of bots and college students managing different accounts, modeled after Israel's Hasbara propaganda program.

Put the pieces together for the first part, the corridor. Should I make the pieces for the main room now? Or make the trim and decal sheets now? #WIP #3Dart #Blender #ue5
