so did nvidia/digital foundry accidentally post their april fools prank a couple of weeks early or what #dlss5

I feel like I should share this somewhere since it's just been sat on my hard drive for about 2 years. Only reason I haven't done it up for my actual portfolio is that I feel like it needs a proper environment around it and I've never got around to making that :p #3dart #substancedesigner

Enter the world of Portal 2: Desolation in our new short story, "The Fusion Forge". Read it here: emberspark.games/desolation/s...

photogrammetry attempt 2! had to do a bit of fiddling with control points to combine my two datasets, but i think it turned out pretty well unlike the garden wall i think i'm gonna keep going, fix the blue underlight, add a roughness map etc. watch this space! #3dart #realityscan #photogrammetry

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

Finally beat Takezo the Unrivalled after dying to him more times than any boss in sekiro. it turns out I misread the description of the Last Chance charm, and that had been kneecapping me not just in that fight but also just generally in my whole playthrough too. Oops. #ghostofyotei

Took my first crack at photogrammetry today. The object I actually tried to scan (a York ghost) didn't work at all, but the garden wall which I scanned on my way back inside turned out surprisingly well. #3dart #photogrammetry #realityscan

UnLoop is a fascinating little puzzler that thrives on a simple but effective idea. @unloopgame.bsky.social #MetaQuest Check out our review duuro.net/blog/unloop-...

Here’s a blog post about UnLoop, where I shared my thoughts about what it was like designing all the puzzles 👀 www.meta.com/en-gb/blog/u...

It's people like that who make you realise how little you've accomplished. It is a sobering thought, for example, that when Mozart was my age, he had been dead for two years. TOM LEHRER (1928 - 2025)

07-08 -- Scree I decided to interpret 'scree' as a sound effect. Rocks seemed boring. #Mayterials #Mayterials2025 @theclubdiscord.bsky.social

Sketches from last night. #art #artist #sketch

Some close-ups of the BEAUTIFUL Compsus auricephalus, or "Golden-headed Weevil" - a common local weevil here in NE Oklahoma during the spring. First shot is a ~40image stack at 20x of one I found dead on the forest floor - and shots 2 & 3 are in situ of live beetles 💗💚

#Mayterials Day7-8 - Scree A word I had to look up, its clumped up rocks, pebbles and dirt at the base of a cliff that collect from things falling and eroding off the upper rocks. I tried to push the overall height a bit further to mimic the slope of the debris pushing out from the cliff behind it

05-06 -- Workshop Where did all my tools go? #Mayterials #Mayterials2025 @theclubdiscord.bsky.social

#Mayterials 03 - Workshop What's a workshop without some wood shavings. #Mayterials2025 #MadeWithSubstance

03-04 -- Splattered "I think I'll make my own porridge" #Mayterials #Mayterials2025 @theclubdiscord.bsky.social

#01 - Overgrown Would it even be a monthly challenge if I didn't immediately fall behind schedule... Definitely need to improve my speed and try to not get bogged down in the weeds, but I do think this turned out really nice! #Mayterials2025 #Mayterials @theclubdiscord.bsky.social

01-02 -- Overgrown Baby's first stylised material :D #Mayterials #Mayterials2024 @theclubdiscord.bsky.social

Been replaying Mirror's Edge, and for the first time in probably a decade (?) I'm actually listening to the dialogue and watching the cutscenes. It's just reminded me how bloody good this game is on every level and how much of a genius @rhi.bsky.social is as its writer. Not a single line is wasted.

Today, the UK government announced a proposal to change copyright law - for the benefit of AI companies - that would cause huge, irreversible harm to creators. More info below, but most importantly here's what you can do (wherever you live): 1. Email your MP. Template letter in 🧵 👇 1/10

Just released a new Portal 2 workshop map! Very pleased with this one. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/...

Just finished the newest skulduggery book, a mind full of murder, and given the next one is called a heart full of hatred I’m currently trying to work out what the third one will be called

I've just moved here from The Other Website, so here's a sampling of my Substance Designer projects from the last couple of years to get started :D

Toilet skeletons are always the go-to example of environmental storytelling but I don’t think I’ve ever been to a skeevy hotel in a game that hasn’t had a bedroom with a camera in a side-room pointing through a hole in the wall
