@adhdev.io @kommanderkarl.bsky.social @erikrobson.net you guys are the ones I've talked to most lately, I've been having this inkling of an idea, stemming mostly from the current job market, but the major issue would be financing it. Steve Jobs I am not, and it likely needs more workshopping.
I can program in ~10 computer languages.
~30 year career in computers.
Been on bleeding edge software for 4 industries.
Done everything from QA to PM to dev to leadership.
Most dev job interviews will stump me to this day.
Broken system, not looking forward to finding a job soonish.

Any @rockstargames.com #RockstarGames devs from the dev period of anything from 3-5 that worked on the world building or city modeling? I had some inquiries on that if it doesn't violate any sort of NDA. Just curious on how those processes worked beyond grid paper planning and white boxing.

I just bad the most hare-brained idea for texture storage and displaying it. I just need to work on a method or proof to get it to work. It should work in blender, I know that for certain.

Hey, #GameDev #Graphics #3d #VFX mutuals, just saw this review of the new Ryoichi Ando Paper for softbody/cloth sim technique. It sounds like its still time intensive, but the result with the new technique used here makes mesh clipping almost completely non-existent.

So something just took down Amazon's servers and reportedly other streaming services. Alexa doesn't work either from what people have been saying.

@gooseworx.bsky.social I remember when my local Best Buy would play the Resonant Chamber Animusic video on their TVs.
Granted I remember it being like a giant jumbotron screen you could see from across the store, all stacked TVs linked up to make it, but I may be misremembering that.

Going through my texture reference files I've accrued over the past 3 years and getting them all organized.
Also got some wax figure people for fun because getting face references elsewhere except diy is expensive.

So besides the TADC or gaming themed stuff. I've taken to making a reproduction of the Floyd Peppers Muppet. It was originally meant to be seen at this year's Des Moines con but I needed more time and work done on it. Just now I've started working on the jeans. #sewing #muppets

Thinking of how to make a Ragatha action figure that is part cloth ragdoll, part plastic articulated figure.

I'm nearing completion with my level. 29 days ago I would never have known how to make a #MVM style gameplay map for #TF2. Just a few more passes with props, playable space flow, and visual bugs to hash out (or implement new models) And it'll be submitted for @valvesoftware.com 's map submissions!

Hey #shader #texturedesign #gamedev #dev peeps, when getting that old CRT look, do you go with the basic overlay/screen effect, or do y'all pass your rendered frames through a shader that takes the RGB values and processes them through a simulated phosphor array? I do that for LED and CRT tv models.

Starting to do a nice little test with Jax. Pretty much using #blender3d #blender like a CADD program to make an action figure. #TADC #Actionfigure #b3d #TADCJax

So I have personal project ideas to prototype some action figures based on the characters from #TADC . Zooble, is an interesting idea, Do I go the full wooden toy route like zoLo or some sort of articulatable design with hinges OR something akin to the old bendems figures?
