This scene turned out so sick. Was fun watching it in development. Really nice to see the storytelling in it too.

it's kinda sad now that I think about it

the reason I stopped doing environment art was because I no longer had access to maya

and secondarily, this was probably why I stopped game jamming, because without 3D modeling, I couldn't get my vision realized anymore

Man I had one hell of a cold. It’s starting to clear up but damn is the gunk in my lungs real. So hard to get out.

I hate being sick,
I hate missing work,
I hate not being able to do things while I’m stuck at home haha.

The struggle of a chronic productive. At least we have Expedition 33.

Just started The Creator. So far it’s quite good. The world they are painting has hints of a Akira and district 9.

here's a small tool I made for Unity: Selection To Cursor

it allows you to teleport (and/or paste) currently selected objects to the cursor position - super handy for environment artists and level designers alike
