i make art and games and stuff Previously Sr vfx artist @ double fine productions

After a solid run of about 13 years at Double Fine, It seems I have found myself with an abundance of free time. If you know anyone hiring for games VFX, please let me know!

Flying through a bit of the first level of Keeper, directly in UE Editor. It's really important that editor view match the game as much as possible for faster iteration.

Hey! Do you need a highly technical character artist with almost 15 years of individual contributor and leadership experience? Looking for someone to wrangle your shaders? Or perhaps you need a person to assemble your character art pipeline? That's me! 🎨 www.xavierck.com 📫 xavierck.3d@gmail.com

Keeper is a uniquely fun project to support. Having played and captured the entire game several times over, the noir update was still surprisingly compelling. The vibe changed enough to require another full capture to understand how different compositions felt in monochrome.

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

the fact there exists a subculture of wistful youth longing to embrace an aesthetic from before their time and that y2k breakcore winampskincore is a genre, and you immediately get that or you don't fills me with joy in joyless time

Looking through some old files and found this visual design test & render from Paul Pepera that I hadn't seen since he first showed me. It's a design explored prior to him landing on the final design (second pic).

Cool I have exactly 486 followers right now. Can't wait till I hit Pentium. Seriously though, most are from the Realtime VFX list. I promise I will post some fx content eventually :)
