Beginner Environment Artists, and veterans alike! I'm putting together a list of essential learning resources for new artists! I'd love to hear from you if there are any you think should to be on here.

I heard y'all like parallax these days. So how about some triplanar quaternion based parllax?

[Laird @3DWithLairdWT]

@lauriewired Might need to figure out some fancy way to cold weld it all together instead of relying on solder and flux

Really interesting question tbh

[Laird @3DWithLairdWT]

@TrisH0x2A Queues, Stacks, Ring Buffers etc are best as arrays. Whoever is teaching people to use a linked list is probably a danger to crayons

[Laird @3DWithLairdWT]

@davepl1968 Shhh, you'll upset their apples to oranges cherry picked comparison with this sensible code. Thats forbidden.

[Laird @3DWithLairdWT]

@delaigrodela Derived normals can even save yiu a whole texture if you derive the Z at runtime

@its_mirrors I feel like you would enjoy these channels

@TheAspenDev Oil pan underneath the whole thing and it up on short stilts

that concrete floor is far to clean next to a machine probably spraying and/or leaking oil/coolent on the ground as it operates

Needs more big servos on the outside for belts and drives

Wire it to something for power

[Laird @3DWithLairdWT]

@Hillsguy2 Youtube the "Multi-UV workflow" (I have a link to it in my pinned as well)

It takes this to a whole other level

[Laird @3DWithLairdWT]

@AlienIsolation YESSSSSSSSSS

Now if only the TV Shows and Films could come CLOSE to the quality and sourc appreciation that Alien : Isolation has

[Ben Cloward @BenCloward]

Today, we start a new series of videos on using Unreal Engine's PCG to create environments. In this video, we talk about what PCG is and why you should use it. Then we use the system to place some simple assets in the environment.

I promised to show you my Unreal Engine material "Line in Grid" function code, so here it is. Of course, it can be improved, but right now I have other tasks. I do level design #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5

[Laird @3DWithLairdWT]

@Komaru_hyper I love this style!

I do believe the texel density of the torso/legs doesn't quite match the head/arms/belt and its hard to unsee that mis-match on an otherwise great looking character

@AgbaMan14872 @theodorvaryag Its not ME utilizing them. It was the 30 year old game code. Its a documented change to the register size

[Laird @3DWithLairdWT]

@forloopcodes The React runtime is larger than a lot of classic games on its own.

You can shovel our garbage at incredible speed when you dont have to compile it or make sure types matter. Just costs all your ram and perf

[Laird @3DWithLairdWT]

@tsoding Im going to need a BoolResultFactory implemented so that the code less coupled. Thanks for understanding. We can talk about how youve hard coded "True" and "False" next stand up.

[Laird @3DWithLairdWT]

@ChShersh Well, I at least respect the bravery it takes to make a claim like that one the internet 🤣🤣

[Laird @3DWithLairdWT]

@valigo Its even better when the generated code for a small function isnt even the same on 2 different platforms.

That was a nightmare bug, cuz ya need to look at the damn machine code to find it 🤣

[Laird @3DWithLairdWT]

@CodeRed_dev I prefer m_VarName to _VarName for private members, but both are better than neither in my experience.
