went to a sushi place and on the walls, it had all these AI sushi images, and the kids that were waiting were just making fun of all the AI images calling it stupid and why even make this, they said. Made me smile a bit. The next gen is rejecting ai, while the boomers want us to embrace it.

Is nanite efficient or not all? Getting mixed answers online and from my experience it's ok, but definitely something to look at if a project gets bigger

🔥

people now are glazing over the movie Troy cuz theres an "agenda" in the Odyssey movie, but the real great Odyssey is the NBC mini series, good lord I LOVED that miniseries. THAT and Merlin.

Btw, we bought a house. A small miracle with our situation. 10 mins from our old place, but I don't wanna move anymore. Also, we have too much stuff, we threw out half of our stuff.

I interviewed at a studio a while back for a senior role, about 2 years ago, in a new studio, new IP didn't get it but now the lead character artist of that place just left. I always wonder if that was a good place for me or not, some people just come and go in this industry.

TIL Steve Byrne is a consevarvative, UGH

GenAi is the McDonalds of media. It's cheap to make, you know it sucks but people consume it anyways and gives you obesity and diabetes for the mind.

laying off people while your company profits should be ILLEGAL

kids who were part of the "no kids left behind" 2002 act are now having kids and their kids are also having kids and were now in the dumbest of timelines.

bought 2 of these for $95 each pair and now its around $450 for one pair

Been playing crimson desert and people are frustrated with the controls cuz they're mashing buttons. Bro, just hold the attack buttons, and tap the other buttons and it will do the special attack associated with that combination of buttons. Same with looting just hold the loot button and walk around

Epic didnt think people would get BORED of this game???

ahhh this is all too familiar that it hurts

The Jetsons lied to us

sorry bro, you can't pump and dump a WAR

So it turns out that the DLSS 5 thing was JUST a filter and wasn't changing anything inherit in geometry to lighting, it was looking at the image per frame to add that ugly filter on it, the opposite of what Jensen said. So there goes another CEO that doesn't know jack shit about squat.

Oh this is a really important win. So you know people who use AI generated images and then copy that as a physical painting? This means that as it has no copyright protection (because AI does not), if it's too similar to the existing art AI ripped off, it is easier to fight back legally.

WIP

Exactly.

Ai is supposed to help us cure cancer or design flying cars or fold our laundry but no, instead we get resting GPT face on our games.

tapping the sign again

hopefully the sculpt transfers well into the Metahuman

Can't wait to have the ability cook my dinner on my machine from the heat this will generate while playing a character that doesn't hold a consistent face for more than 6 seconds.

Don't ever be bought out by these corporations that don't love the craft, they love making money for their billionaire class shareholders more

There are people that complain about unreal games looking similar while Callisto and ex33 were made in unreal but are totally dissimilar. It depends on the art team bro. You can make unreal look like paper Mario if you want.

working on this next

its so strange to be rejected for a job to just simply do 3d sculpting, im like did you even see my resume, you really dont think i can't make your little toys? damn dude

unreal 5.7... why did you add shit that no one asked for? like my metahuman textures arent working and it took me an hour to find that its a project setting thing, not a texture or metahuman setting, GAAAH!

4.4% unemployment, 92k jobs lost last month, are we winning yet?

Final version of her face. I’m happy with the aesthetic I was aiming for, so now it’s time to move on to building the rest.

Did you know you can find the Metahuman preview levels in this folder Engine>Plugins>MetahumanCreatorContent>LightingEnvironments. Copy and paste them to your own folder and load up your Metahuman and play around with it.

metahuman mesh-to-metahuman and hair groom practice, have to go to maya and fix that left eyelid when blinking

People who talk to ai casually like a real person....is just so sad and pathetic. Are you that much of a miserable person that no one can stand you? Then work on your personality, and talk to real people with real opinions and not to a parrot made out of code.

some of my unreal metahuman shenanigans

haven't touched Unreal Metahumans in a while(since december!) just warming up now, might do more sculpting in zbrush to bring out some more features, especially in that 3/4 view

man shut the fuck up

almost every place that ive now interviewed at for a gamedev job has either shut down their studio or laid off 90% of their staff. there are 2 i can think of that are big studios, and i think theyre not immune especially when Bluepoint was even shut down.

oh wow artstation was eating up my ram for some reason, i closed my tab and then my PC didnt sound like a jet taking off anymore

I'm so jet lagged, if I close my eyes for 3 seconds, I'm gonna doze off

TACO strikes again

Seeing Twisted Pixel closed down by Meta is so sad to see but also angers me that these big tech corpos are buying studios but not investing in games at all. Stay indie, resist these corpos for fast money but will throw you out in the end.

So far in the Philippines

America showed that it craves oil and once the entire world figures out how to manipulate America by limiting, circumventing or stopping oil trades entirely, they can easily get whatever they want from the US.

To all the new folks moving over here, I am best known as the Director of the Castlevania and Castlevania: Nocturne animated series on Netflix! I am an animator and storyboard artist, and occasionally post pretty things (but often dumb things). Hello and welcome. 😊✨🦇

I STAND BY IT (though I did also make this video which includes 5 indie games you likely haven’t heard of that are all kinds of fantastic: youtu.be/ZCAR-9OAhH8
