Second I wanted to show a understanding of how textures can store additional information.
The Animations were achieved by packing the movement direction and index into a texture. The movement direction is determined by the rigid body simulation's velocity at the current frame.

Trying to get moving on more portfolio work. So started with something small to start building on.
The goal is to make a better executed version of this piece currently in my portfolio. www.artstation.com/artwork/yJwlz5

Working on some cliffs now! Rocks are hard.
Also if anyone was curious I actually hand drew the contour lines and map them using screenspace x axis and the height in the material.

Been working on mock ups in blender for a game idea. Still making assets and tweaking stuff but I'm already pretty happy with the progress.
Project will be in godot!

Got a little side quest from my DND Game Master!
Wanted me to make a magical item to 3D print!
Hopefully the print turns out nice.

I've been working on learning scripting for blender.
Here are some Shader Editor nodes I scripted to try and emulate how I make effects texture in substance designer. Far from usable but kind a cool.
Going to dive into some texture baking things next.

Been using blender a lot more this last year and I'm really starting to appreciate the software. Easy to use features like the asset library really help improve your workflow.
