Experimented with adding voxels to my game's terrain deformation system. It looks great but currently uses a ton of RAM. Time to optimize...

As part of work on Shopkeeper's Tail, we've been polishing up the art to bring it closer to that mixed-media vibe!

Anduin Solcrest, an Oath of Redemption paladin who fights for a world where he never has to lift a blade again. Struggling to cast spells, Anduin coats his blade and gear in ichor, setting his foes ablaze in a fury of radiant dawn.

Wrote an article explaining the process of applying normal maps to physical models. We used it in development of our current project, "Shopkeeper's Tail"!

By hitting real-life objects with RGB colors at the correct angles, you can make your photos have normal maps! Incredibly useful for mixed-media.

You can read more about it (and the project we used it for) here!
