VRC Light Volumes is a next-gen voxel based baked volumetric lighting solution for VRChat, I'm working on right now! It affects avatars, dynamic props, etc. Works really fast without major overhead even on Quest. It will be fully open-source and free, so stay tuned! #vrchat #gamedev #shader

I just released a new tool: a "texture browser" for UE5.5 that presents materials as square thumbnails instead of spheres. Like a 90s texture browser. Much better for level designin'. Has favourite searches, quick access to recently-used materials, etc.

Going into 2025; to all the newer artists
It takes time.
Failure is okay, and it’s a good thing.
Be open to it
Learning isn’t linear.
But remember

IT. TAKES. TIME.

2017 vs 2024
Same idea, time and experience separates them.

A walk in Venice turned into this stylized material.

#madewithsubstance #gamedev #b3d #cgi
A stylized 3d material showcasing a Venetian building facade. There are a wooden door; a window; a postbox; the number of the building. The wall peels off revealing bricks; at the bottom there is a base of bigger bricks. A slight mold covers everything. It looks a bit painterly. Same scene as before, but frontal.

I made some progress on my scene, learned a little about cloth simulation in Blender to make the cushions and curtains.
A 3D render showing a bay window with a fitted sofa lined with pillows, a lamp and a table. The objects in the image are white as they have not been textured yet, some of them are still primitive shapes from a blockout stage. A warm, yellow light filters into the room from the window behind which a default Unreal Engine sky and a plane with default grid material is visible.

I can't believe Half-Life 2 is 20... I owe a lot to this hugely inspiring game.

Here's a fun little clip of me painting in VR in Water Hazard :)
