If you're working on #environmentart for historical kits, add Archive.org to your list of reference sources. Lots of catalogues from the 1800's and early 1900's available for molding, ironworks, picture frames.

Really helps pin down shapes, sizes, and proportions when things feel off in #blender.

For #screenshotsaturday I present floors -- this material took a day longer in Substance Designer than planned, but what doesn't, eh?

2 patterns to choose from for the parquet fields (one pictured) optional borders and corners.

The Substance Designer graph was messier. #indiedev #gamedev #solodev

Time for some sub graphs and a bit of refactoring.

The first pass of Whodunit's environment kit is coming along

Etched the motifs I used in this wallpaper variant into the window pane's texture - this is rough editor view in Blender, so opacity is wanting. The Green corner-blocks need doing

Started on a parquet floor material in Designer #indiedev

The irony of moving where my keyboard is plugged in, to more easily plug in an external hard drive I use for backups — and bumping the PSU cord a little too hard. Woops.

A really productive Sunday in game dev. I got A LOT done.

It was the same exact thing, redone 4 times. But that still counts? 😬

#gamedev

Breathing some life into Whodunit's first wall kit.

I felt the wallpaper needed to bring the game's Burtonesque vibe into the environment -- so I whipped up my first ever material in Substance designer.

Still need to add back in scratches and grunge #indiedev #solodev #environmentart #burtonesque
