As we move into our 4th year, it's so important to celebrate our achievements and recommit ourselves to what got us here, great people making great art unencumbered by process or red tape. No egos, just creativity. And we deliver for our partners. I'm proud to call this my studio! Happy Bday LMFX!

Yesterday we celebrated THREE years of Let’s Make FX! We began as a social media handle turned education platform with the mission of connecting and growing artists; we have evolved but the mission remains the same! #realtimevfx #vfx #gamedev

@g-bigcinnamon.bsky.social guest lectured at his alma mater, giving perspective on being a VFX artist in today's industry. A theme: there is no "magic"-to become an artist one must allow themself to "fail and then fail again to learn." We couldn't agree more! #realtimevfx #vfx #gamedev

Happy One Year Work Anniversary to Allen Wu! Over the past year Allen has proven himself as a VFX artist, growing his skillset and creating work we are immensely proud to showcase. Join us in saying "bravo!" Video features his work on Ymir, a frost god in Godforge. #realtimevfx #vfx #gamedev

I worked on this feature myself and this was such a fun technical challenge. Also, shoutout to @mcdoogleh.bsky.social for having us on the project!

Tlaloc's new core ability! We worked with @fatelessgames.bsky.social design /animation teams to reimagine this; what started as a spear throw became a shotgun-like blast of water bullets to demonstrate his command of water. WIP by VFX Artist, @g-bigcinnamon.bsky.social #realtimevfx #vfx #gamedev

Did you know you can make a mesh flipbook using vertex color and a few position nodes? Flood each mesh frame with vertex color, then merge them into one mesh and reveal the frames as needed. #RealTimeVFX #GameDev #UE5

As a black person in America with family history that can be directly traced back to enslaved people, Juneteenth is really meaningful to me. Without the sacrifices of my ancestors, I would not be where I am today. I’m so proud to honor their memory and celebrate their legacy. Happy #Juneteenth!

Common misconception: the best time to incorporate VFX is at the end of development. Ideally, VFX artists + designers are collaborating early on in the project to enhance and influence a feature at it's inception. Incorporate us sooner! TY @noodlecatgames.com #realtimeVFX #gamedev #VFX

This month we began working with Broadsword Online Games on @swtor.com. The game has an incredible development team and an excited fan base. We are honored to collaborate on this 15 year old masterpiece. #realtimeVFX #VFX #gamedev

Marc and I go way back! He was my lead at Volition and he showed me what good leadership looked like. He pushed me to become more technical and that opened so many doors for me. He's a friend, a mentor, and this has been a long time coming! I'm so happy to welcome Marc to the studio!
