Fuck it. #BonusPortfolioDay Hey, I’m Nick, I’m a professional Environment Artist in games, and a hobbiest woodworker, and here are some of my arts!

Nick Duguid@tumerboy.bsky.social

I love that today has just turned into a bonus Portfolio Day over here.

We've been gathering at Starfleet Academy to honor Walter Koenig. Feel free to join us - at times like this, Star Trek fans come together to support one another, and your fellow Captains are here for you, and for Walter.

Ad Astra Mr. Koenig. <3

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

For anyone who has never fed crows before, this is a major achievement. Mine will walk right up to the peanut they watched me toss on the ground, but they will not take it until I turn my back, or move a SIGNIFICANT distance away.

Even if I thought AI code tools would be helpful in any way as I develop this game I still wouldn't use it out of respect for the work others have put into this project. I wouldn't want anyone to question, even for a second, that any of it wasn't the direct product of their own hands and minds.

Listen. If you don't want him stomping around on your city, you should have kept your nuclear waste/bombs/whatever to yourselves.

If you need a random color (e.g. procedurally coloring objects), you should use Oklab or Oklch color space instead of RGB or HSV. RGB may span the whole spectrum, but it does not pick fairly (leaning dark/muddy). Oklab is designed to more closely map to how we perceive color

In retrospect, "animated series based on live action movies" was a load bearing sub-genre of cartoons. Even if they weren't good, studios greenlighting 52 episode show orders of stuff like this meant a healthier industry.

NEW: Epic Games has delayed its upcoming (not yet announced) Star Wars + Marvel shooter as it pivots to complete AI game development. "No more hand-written code," a director told staff. All art "generated with full AI workflows." Full scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Travis Knight’s WILDWOOD is such an astounding achievement in stop-motion that even if the story sucked, it would be a “must see.” But the story is wonderful (if a little archetypal), so the effort it took to produce this masterpiece was wholly justified. My review is at @thewrap.com!
