Polygonist

Hi! I never really gave myself an introduction, so here we go: I’m a professional 3D generalist living in Canada with over 10 years of industry experience. I mostly work on interactive mixed reality/AR content for major brands, but I used to work on 3D animated kid’s TV shows. Nice to meet you!

Unlimited Creativity

I feel obliged to once again reiterate that lay offs and closures are not a reaction to the economy, but a failure of leadership. Each wave of closures and layoffs should be looked upon as a consequence of greed and incompetence. If you can't keep your people employed, you are bad at your job.

I've made 6 open-source @godotengine.org projects perfect for as a base for your first or next game. Completely human-made and easy to understand code & comments. All visuals and sounds included, CC0! kenney.nl/starter-kits

The same people who want to sanction Canada for the wildfire smoke have killed federal regulations so they can load the atmosphere with deadly pollutants while cutting cancer research and reducing access to healthcare.

Since I've been doing a lotta scenes with buildings recently I wanted to know how to do a cubemap parallax window in blender. So for those of you who would also find it helpful let me save you some steps (Make sure you use environment texture node):

I think while well meaning, it can be a bit problematic to say "you must always love your art", because there is people who just can't sometimes (I see you), and it can put additional pressure on them to just be happy. So let me say this instead, to me, the self doubt is part of the-

📷 How to create realistic camera lens materials In the real world, the anatomy of camera lenses is quite complex. To create a convincing 3D equivalent, an artist should understand the build and material makeup of the physical counterpart.

Figured out a fun way to paint stylized wood grain textures using Gradient Maps (it's in Gimp as well as Photoshop, afaik). Just use a big soft brush and paint! You can also use blur, smudge, and gradients. It's like painting the history of a tree! 🌳😌🕊️ #gamedev #indiedev

Could use some more slots filled if anyone is interested! Work would start as soon as I get back from my trip! 🙏🙏🙏 please dm if you'd like

My custom subD modifier with auto-creasing feels like cheating

Damn soup has no texture

Did you know you can set up a scene and render it to a texture without any nodes in #Godot, by directly using the RenderingServer? We automatically generate billboard sprites for meshes this way. There's not much info about the RenderingServer online, so I wrote about it: hexaquo.at/pages/using-...
