A little scripted camera setup. You can see on the right how the camera target (red circle) changes from pointing at a neural position at the center of the area (green) to following the character as they approach the doorway. Then it's smoothed a lot (yellow).

california is gonna have so many mail in ballots that don’t get counted because people don’t know the new USPS rules that are impacting mail in voting. tl;dr don’t put your ballot in the mail today, find a ballot drop box. www.kqed.org/news/1208537...

It seems people want to ponder orbs—I mean learn about Matcaps! They're great for gesturing at complex lighting and reflections within a stylized art style. And as a bonus, no UV unwrapping! ^.^

diagram showing matcap textures and where they are used in game models. Matcap (short for “material capture”) materials apply a texture to a mesh using normals *instead* of UV maps. These textures generally look like shiny orbs that have complex lighting and reflections baked in. They are often used in the process of 3D sculpting, but work well for stylized game art like Angeline Era’s! There are tons of free matcap textures available, and setting up a matcap material is pretty straightforward! Metal balls combine a traditional UV texture with a gentle matcap sheen! Even the logo uses a matcap!

Angeline Era is out NOW!!! ^.^ here's a breakdown of some elements and techniques I used to create the HUGE visual world of Era. Ultra-dense action and secrets meant a bigger focus than ever on visual clarity and communication! ⚔️🔍 See it in action!! store.steampowered.com/app/2393920/...

Cube-based environment art (along with melos’s “auto-cuber” tool) allows for the efficiency and complex secrets-hinting of 2D tilesets combined with the benefits of 3D lighting and atmosphere. Large “EnviroChunks” with flexible triplanar materials quickly establish setting in the background of scenes. Gestural vertex colors quickly and beautifully define characters that pop against the environment and look good small or large onscreen. iNaturalist.org can be an amazing resource for game artists, featuring species id and many public domain community photos of life on Earth! Matcap materials are good for creating shiny or translucent objects while maintaining a simplified/stylized look.
