Now that #KCD2 is out I can finally start posting some of the stuff I did back then, so here go a few images of the first character I did back in 2019 (rendered in #unreal).
there'll be more on my artstation/cara

@iBrews I can sadly see it happening if unreal keeps bloating the engine with unfinished experimental features and it's weirdly broad direction

@helen How come this doesn't have the cyberpunk theme playing in the background!?

This is the hidden reason why so many AAA games are really flopping

In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded 4.8 million articles from JSTOR. We don't know why - it may have been to make them freely available online (if so, he never did, as he was caught). He made no money from this, and there is no suggestion he intended to.

He was indicted on 13 felony counts, facing a maximum of 95 years in prison and $3 million in fines. Two years after his arrest, awaiting trial, he hung himself.

In 2019 & 2021, Ben Mann downloaded at least 5 million books from pirate libraries. He did so while working at OpenAI and Anthropic; the books were downloaded for the purposes of training AI models at those companies, two of the most successful commercial companies in recent history.

He has never faced criminal charges, and, as a co-founder of Anthropic, must now be extremely wealthy (it is known that many of his co-founders are billionaires).

Microsoft breaking Windows 11 with every new update, makes this scene from Space Force unironically the most relatable meme ever.

@kiaran_ritchie Is there any chance we'll get more granular locomotor nodes? In case we want to do individual things like only foot locking?

First look at "Primal" Season 3 (by Genndy Tartakovsky).
Coming January 2026 on Adult Swim.

[John van Sise @JohnVanSise]

Using Vertex Animation + Niagara to create a dinosaur horde! While set up in #UnrealEngine, it works great in #UEFN too. Runs smooth on mobile as well. Tutorial in comments.

Animation test for "The Black Knight", an abortded animated feature film project by Genndy Tartakovsky (2019).
The story of a 20 feet high Knight Armor controlled by a knight inside using ropes, pulleys, and levers. The setting is around the 14th century.

@games_inu Are you planning any performance testing for substrate? I’m really curious if it’s really on par with old materials, specially for simple stuff

[HermitDwarf @HermitDwarfDev]

Been doing some furry critters for this little thing for the last few months

@rodrigosaure Love how you captured the vivid Colors of the original

[HermitDwarf @HermitDwarfDev]

@thomasmahler Yessss give us at least an optional 3rd person!

[HermitDwarf @HermitDwarfDev]

I've been doing some art style tests trying to reach an art style that balances performance and nice looks while at the same time being enjoyable to work on but simple enough that a character's fur can be done in a few days. and so far this is where its going.
