I'm adding text to speech to my upcoming boomer shooter game engine and I made them say "rest in peace" but I keep hearing "crispy peas" 😭
Sit with me. Let’s chat People are lonelier than ever. We don’t connect enough with those nearest to us Don’t look away, this matters Call a friend, check in. Doesn’t need a purpose, just check in. Find out how their day went. It’ll be good for you both And then… Tell them about Vampirium: 1997

Here's a WIP render of the Arc Raiders Pilot jacket texture/profile. I'm looking into sculpting more details into the face. But I figured I'd get the outfit down first. #Blender3D #GameDev #3DModeling #3DArt #Blender
Working on a second version of my characters shirt texture. I rushed this one after working 13 hours on it just to have blender 'forget' every texture I painted. Improvements to come. Don't forget to pack or directly save your textures to file y'all. #Blender #Blender3D #3Dmodeling #gamedev

I created an addon that updates bone visuals based on the most recent selection of a bone. This guarantees a relevant and clean viewport for animating! Great for rigs that have lots of bones. This one has 1305. . #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #animation #3Danimation #gameanimation
Testing some rig stuff and got carried away. 500 frames after working 12 hours straight. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #animation #3DAnimation #gameanimation
Four rigs, placeholder mesh, 8 animations working together, and it still needs some blueprint setup to fix strap displacement towards the end of the animation.... ... one step at a time 😅
