Hello Bluesky ! 👋

My name is Vincent, I'm indie dev and 3D artist, and I'll share some of my work and experiments here : game dev, 3D art, VFX, sims, etc.

I use stencils on the "scanner effect", where interactable objects are not affected, for the selection outline effect, as well as the "observation mode" where you can check out a specific object 😊

Thanks, love your work!

Hahaha 😂

Progress on the detective game experiment made with @godotengine.org
Using custom post-process, a secondary camera for the magnifying glass which can reveal hidden clues and to be able to study objects seamlessly... It's been fairly smooth so far, I'm enjoying the Godot experience 😊

#MaterialMaker 1.4 (#GodotEngine based PBR material authoring and 3D model texturing tool) is now available on @itchio .
It is based on Godot 4, had a huge UI redesign and has quite a few new nodes.

Material Maker 1.4 is now available for download... I would like to apologize for all the time it took, I seriously underestimated the effort needed to port everything to Godot 4 and the temptation to...

Second @godotengine.org experiment, this time working on interior lighting, trying to mimick detective games...

I found it a bit harder than I expected to get decent results, but it's starting to look all right I think

Got around to playing with stencils which is fun 😊(work in progress)

Haha thanks, great work on this volumetric effect!

Spent a few days on my first @godotengine.org experiment, a Star Wars themed environment, with basic movement and shooting mechanics. Learning a lot 🙂

3/ Visual shaders seem okay, with some limitations (lacks some basic nodes in my opinion, kinda hard to access bread and butter nodes like math operations with the search bar)
4/ Particle systems seem okay, although a bit basic ?

Looking forward to playing more with it

Day 1 of playing with @godotengine.org , focusing on its rendering capabilities:

1/ It definitely can look really good
2/ Standard material is absolutely great, so many features

Really nice! A fun addition could be faking the light hitting the geometry using the depth/normal buffers, to optimise having a ton of them (not too close though)

Super idée ! Merci beaucoup

(2/2) C'est pas anodin non plus, surtout quand on voit le rêve que c'est pour les régimes autoritaires

Vincent Aalbersberg @vincentaalber.bsky.social · Jul 11

(1/2) C'est assez vrai, mais les "créations" méritent d'être étudiés/critiqués. Au-delà de la laideur subjective, l'enjeu à moyen terme c'est l'uniformisation de la culture visuelle, perte de créativité graphique, stagnation complète de la création...

Back to making some art, started a set of houses for In the Same Boat, aiming at very stylized shapes, low poly and vertex color only (a triplanar noise texture adds a bit of detail) 🙂 #Blender #Unity
