I take on average 10,000 stills and a half hour of video every week. Most I'll never think about again. This I'll hold onto until I grow old. 4 hours ago.
Zero edits. No recoloring. No cropping. Nothing. Just straight up reality. 🦑

i see the Art side (capitalized, not-just-the-graphics-side) of games to be embedded in the creative parts of a game and thus every game is somewhere on the Art spectrum. wholly unique experiences are far and between, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t interesting tidbits inside every game.

🚨 Yet again Ted Cruz and Steve Scalise are trying to sneak in a moratorium on state GenAi legislation.
If passed states can no longer enact laws for transparency, child safety, privacy, environmental protection etc.
We got 3 days to stop this. Call now!

I should have been donating all along. Blender has been such an incredible tool for me, the last 5 games I have shipped have been exclusively modeled, UV'd and rigged in Blender. It fucking rules! You can't make me go back to Maya! I won't!
Blender is struggling. it's the best piece of 3d software on the market, and it's free. I'm not going back to autodesk.
please donate if you can!

There is a new lovely story trailer out for Starship Home! I'm super excited about it bc for my whole career it has been *so* hard to capture XR. This is the first time I've seen one for a project I worked on that really evokes how it feels to play the game! 👽🌱✨

I’ve been wanting to make some murals here in my hometown of Phoenix, and this is the first of a few designs I am working on! Growing up I always heard folks call it “the valley of the sun”, which inspired this piece with the big goopy sun god. If you know PHX I hope you spot some landmarks!

I did a lot of lighting on Keeper and it was a joy to have a fully dynamic lighting system, which made shifts in areas like this easy to do. We also had custom Lumen-based lights that @p1xelcoder.bsky.social put together that helped us hit the painterly/stage lighting look we were after.

The cat came to the usual meadow. It comes here because the breeze feels so nice. And it loves the town visible from here. Plus, playing in the meadow and seeing KOKEDAMACHAN and friends has become one of its favorite things to do.

Oh, I love this. A new species of sea anemone was discovered recently that parks itself on top of a hermit crab shell like a hat. It seems to feed partly off the crab's faeces, but it also excretes a hard shell that extends the crab's home. In return, it's carried around the seafloor like a king.
