✨ Happy #PortfolioDay! ✨

I'm Leah and I make hair for games! I love bringing characters into 3D and dipping my toes in some techy stuff. I'm always happy to chat anything hair - especially in Unreal Engine 👀

So much money! And then we can't even talk about it! Or share our work 😭

I kinda thought being in outsource meant less of that, what with people not wanting to outsource something that may or may not happen, but it happens here too, and it often feels like companies just getting ahead of themselves. Which is sad because some of these projects look so cool!

OK, the more I look at it the more I actually like this, so made some tweaks and I do actually like it now

I still don't like the hair I made for this character so plugged in one I made a few months ago - super easy with metahuman base meshes! I don't think this is the right look, but it's closer to what I'm feeling. I'm now thinking a loose, messy bun

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

The Verge @theverge.com · May 26

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

Maisie, one of my foster cats has been adopted! She ws picked up today and is off to her forever home ❤️

Seriously though, if anyone can help with rigid bodies on a metahuman I would be very grateful

🎃 Spoopy Leah.bat 🦇 @skullcat3d.bsky.social · 9d

And just when I was getting on so well with Unreal, I/it fucks up my skinning... I just want rigid body physics!!!

Could be cool to mess with the materials with a new angle! Look forward to seeing what you come up with

If you stop enjoying it, especially after some time away, I'm all for reworking a project. But I've never gotten this far and changed my mind 😅

btw reminder that i still have this character to finish since months ago and now it's the only time i can actually do so without my PC catching fire

I'm so tempted to just scrap all the clothing and stuff i've done and reuse her as a base for something else, already have half an idea frankly

Finally got around to making a lightsaber (hilt) and ended up texturing in Marmoset Toolbag 5. I've only dabbled in Marmoset texturing before but honestly, this was super straight forward and I especially love the vector layers. I'm sure I'm missing stuff, but I'm pretty happy with this, for now!

Even setting aside ethics (but, yknow, THAT) - I just don’t want AI bullshit. I don’t want an AI pop star, movie, book, video game.

Art is a conversation. Why would I stare at a dictionary run through the washing machine when I could read a poem lovingly constructed by someone’s hands?
