I thought I was doing okay in life but today I caught myself unironically using the Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Windows+L shortcut. what is this world doing to me 😢

I'm made near to no progress today but I did break my material for like 2 hours and then fixed it in the dumbest way so I think that counts as productive c: I did get my level sequence render to work tho 🤷‍♂️ #gamedev #GameArt

There was a incident during the making of my dads birthday cake.. I have a new hatred for the side opening cake tins. They cant be trusted 😭

The sky near me clearly got the memo of what month it is 🫡🌈

I also made everything wiggle in the wind just for fun (Im sure Ill tweak it near the end)

Got some actual roughness values in place now and also set up vertex painting using the height difference to create some more realistic variation! #GameArt #gamedev

Making a trimsheet for corrugated walling and I thought I finally had a reason to try @marmoset3d.bsky.social bevel shader and god damn 15mins and about 450 Tris later I have a baked down trimsheet (ofc still mega WIP)

I know I normally keep my car photography to my Instagram but this car is just to cool not to post here to 😍 Mazda Eunos Cosmo I snapped at the Forza 6 launch event. Super 90s Japanese styling like a more upper class laurel/PS13 with a rotary engine ♥️ #mazda #cosmo #carphotography #Japcar

I was rummaging through the photos from our trip to Canada in 2023 and found this shot of an abandoned zoo habitat and felt I needed to share! #reference #GameArt #gamedev

Due to life getting in the way of me working on this project I made myself a little progress gif to remind myself its actually coming along 😅 #gamedev #GameArt

Saw this when walking the dog today. This is environmental story telling right??? #gamedev #GameArt #reference

Getting somewhere? 🤷‍♂️ Its definitely in its ugly stage at the moment #gamedev #GameArt

Guys help apparently "I was having too much fun retopologizing rocks" isnt a valid excuse for being late to work 🙄 #gamedev #GameArt

Started some very WIP cliff chunks! Ill be honestly Dannie Carlone's brush set is unbelievably useful especially to a rock noob like me! #gamedev #GameArt

How I feel opening #zbrush for the first time in 2-3 months #gamdev #GameArt

Slowly chipping away #gamedev #GameArt

Reached that really fun point once again where I open artstation, see some crazy good envi art, click thier profile to see they're student LFW and then my chest starts hurting + I wanna throw up 🙃 The bar is so damn high. I just feel I cant work a 50-60 hour week and still compete in my spare time

#3dart #environmentart

I did actually fix it (still very WIP ofc). Im hoping it can be an interesting hero prop that will add some more story telling of whats going on in the scene. Plus it felt like the left side of the scene was really wasted space #gamedev #GameArt

Heres your daily reminder to check your scale frequently. I was happily modeling way on a control terminal this morning and then I zoomed out and realised I made a terminal for smurfs 😅 Luckily I found a solution in the end.. #gamedev #GameArt

Sucks my new job isnt dev related but upside is I can finally afford to fund my parasocial dreams 😉 Jokes aside if not for @dannyodwyer.bsky.social 's EFMS/The Point I wouldnt of considered games as a career growing up @noclipvideo.bsky.social docs/crew pods carry me daily in these dire times! ♥️

We'll be announcing our first project today, keep an eye on this premiere :-) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xry4...

Today on "thats some super cool looking shit I saw IRL" This temporary crane attached to a half constructed new overpass on the motorway #GameArt #reference #gamedev

I have been stumbling my way through Gaea and UE landscape tools and I think Ive got something I'm fairly happy with! Now I just have to wait till payday so I can buy a subscription and export it above 1k res 😅 Also blocked out a modular kit for the lab buildings! #gameart #gamedev

Did this at the weekend... Not trying to sound dramatic but it was an almost out of body experience 😅 During the long quiet part of the ending scene I have never heard a silence like it.. not a single cough or whisper from the whole theatre like everyone was holding their breath #akira

I try to go to as many UK conference/expos as possible but since money was a bit tight this month and I now have to spend my weekend fixing my car again I decided I couldnt make it to New Game Plus Cut to today when I see there are multiple industry peeps I know and/or very much respect going to it

Now that portfolio day over and done with. Does anyone have any recommendations of how to create realistic mountain scapes? I'm currently looking in to Gaea and World Creator but I'm not to sure which will have the nicer learning curve #GameArt #gamedev

its that wonderful #PortfolioDay once again! Im Tom a 3D/Environment artist from the UK looking for a full time or freelance role in the games industry!

This has been my main plan of action recently. Its also nice if you dont have a lot of time to work on a whole new project #gamedev #GameArt

I was rummaging around in the attic today looking for my glasses and I found a box full of our ps2 games And in said box was my childhood favourite Indy game 🤌 Havent played the machine games one yet but its got to compete with the nostalgia of this in my head when I do 😆

So much cool industrial reference at work. Im not going to post publicly due to my work being confidential but I did find this old protective suit in the sand blasting room and felt I needed to share #gamedev #reference #GameArt

You know, I’m something of a Blender pro myself

My first re-light is done! I made some backdrop building using my modular assets but scaled up. Going for a little dystopian industrial vide similar to a Simon Stalenhag painting or @thechineseroom.co.uk Still Wakes the Deep #GameArt #gamedev #lighting #ue5

Made a little scene from some props I made for a previous project and some marmoset tileables #GameArt #gamedev

Im feeling a little more confident in this now 🤷🏼‍♂️ Im going to tackle the colour grading and LUTs last as that seems like the logical option? If anyone versed in the dark arts of lighting (light arts?😅) has any advice I would love to hear from you! #gamedev #GameArt #lighting

Sky near my house is looking super Ghibli or @alariko.bsky.social coded today 🤌

I suck at lighting! had a really interesting moment recently where a AD pointed out that this piece sticks out the most of all. They proved it by showing 4 peeps on his team my folio and asked "which would you click" all of them picked it 👀 I was racking my brain as to why and I think its value!

Life is full of horrors but I did see a dog in a party hat today so things are looking up I guess

cant think of a better word but this industry is fucking jarring.. I was at a #gamedev conf a week ago and was chatting to a certain studio's recruiter about the roles they had open rn Cut to this morning where I open linkedin and said studio is laying off 85% of its staff??? Wtf are we doing lads

I promised myself I wouldn't spend anymore money on artbooks until I built myself a new bookshelf (since the last one fell off the wall from the weight 😅) but @paddysbooks.bsky.social has way to many damn good books for sale... where am I going to put them😭

Art books are a powerful drug paddysbooks.bigcartel.com #anime #illustration #sketches #characters #backgrounds #manga #comics #fantasy #scifi
