A quick time-lapse of some Dune Barrens features: generating a river, planting trees with the garden creator, exploring the world, and shape-shifting into a Greater Lézard. Running on an iPad Pro 2020 with a gamepad attached.

I've seen first-hand what happens when people can't access affordable healthcare. I also remember needing to call family members when situations reached a point of likely no return.
Gore and the "hollywood" element of emergency care never bothered me, but the conditions I witnessed countless...

As I sit here in a "little room" no larger than a storage closet, where I eat, sleep, and live, while I work on my reel, projects, and job apps. Just to find a way home. I've been through worse, and great things really do start in little rooms.
It's about damn time Outkast got they're flowers.

This piece moved me. I promise it's not only about Zohran Mamdani, there's so much in there that made me feel seen. It's about being scared of being yourself and not doing the things you need to do to let it happen, and that rippling through communities.

Here's a tutorial I made years ago, back when I used to be on TikTok. It describes the basics regarding ORM/packed texture maps in 3D rendering.

This is some old rigging work of mine from about 4 years ago. I only rig occasionally, as a means to an end nowadays, and primarily in Blender. I've been planning to dive deeper into UE5's control rig when I can make the time.

Before I have to eventually get rid of my LinkedIn Premium subscription, I have 9 links I'm able to share with others so they can receive "2 months free."
If you're actively looking for work (or know someone who is) and we're connected on there, please message me on that site, and I'll share one.

"Stance on gen-AI usage" should be a category/topic on even things like dating apps.
It's been at the point where you can judge a person's character based on this subject alone. It's similar to not returning your cart at the store. I can't kick it with you in any capacity that isn't somehow forced.
