I haven't been active here for a while. Mostly been on LinkedIn as my main social for work and craft. Currently working on a fan art VFX project. Only character models and the environment are not mine — everything else (textures, FX, sequence, animation) is my own craft. #unrealengine #vfx #techart

Wrapped the term with a #Python tool for #UnrealEngine! It converts lightmap textures into SDFs to build masks for clean cel-shaded facial shadows — no vertex normals needed💫 Artists fine-tune in Photoshop🎨, plugin does the rest💪 Excited for use in future projects!🚀 #technicalart #stylized #anime
Exploring cel-shaded face shadows like in "Hi-Fi Rush" and anime games. Turns out it's a mix of layered SDFs – moon phase style. I'm using Render Targets, Jump Flood and Python scripting – hoping the character won't look haunted 😅 #unrealengine #python #technicalart #stylized #anime
The true "Most Anticipated Game" for me🤩. Wonderful announcement. Can't wait to hear more from Hideki Kamiya-san and his team. #okami
