Warning to EV owners in the UK:
I have had issues with GeniePoint / MFG rapid chargers multiple times. But last night was another level.

Previous issues mainly come down to the chargers just not connecting to the vehicle. The handshake will timeout and it won’t start a charge.

Hopefully will have that Super Mario 64 video out tomorrow or Sunday, nearly done with the edit.

YouTube Shorts is absolutely shocking with the amount of views you can get compared to long videos. I started posting content on my channel as only a week and a half ago. My long videos are typical new channel numbers. Shorts are going off! Even if I'm not a huge fan of acting hyper for them.

Interesting how Mario kart world just kind of lets you bounce of NPCs. You can open photo mode during this and see there is an animation of the toads getting squashed… and their friends celebrating?

The latest update to my #UIDesign project. The player can now interact with UI that will be placed around the world. A coloured border matching the player's selected colour is show around the menu they are interacting with. Other characters can also be seen using UI.

Since it is affected by what colour menu theme the player chooses, I need to make sure all text is clearly readable. The menu I am currently working on has some text that will need colour or font changes to be more readable when using stronger colours.

For my current video game UI project, I wanted to give the player the option to choose a colour for their menu to give a bit of customization and potentially be a form of accessibility by making the text more readable for certain people. It is now working!

Making a diegetic UI for the first time. This is a type of UI that is positioned as part of the game world. So far I have the player's personal menu system functioning and they are able to walk up to interactable UI in the world and start using it. Lots more to do!

you stare deeply and thoughtfully at the unfinished menu presented before you. it's bright green glow burning into your very soul...

...and now i feel bad for my player character 😔

Here's what the character should look like for reference 😅

Was interesting to see multiple people perform for motion capture. We've only ever had the space for one at a time. Originally we started out using an Xbox One Kinect sensor for motion capture before the suits. But now I can fully turn into a Spirit creature 😁

@jon.gvg.io can’t believe we wore the same thing to work 😣. How did you find T-Posing?

Had a break from modelling yesterday but back to it now and I've just finished retopology on the head. Out of the two times I've done character retopology, this one is looking the best so far 😂

Game UI quickly builds up a lot of image files. Then again, I'm probably doing this wrong 😑. This is for an upcoming @grimfound.com project 😉
