Progress update!

[Jack Belcher @ShodaMashin]

After a long sleep I return to my new nemesis known as #substancepainter

It sure does beat trying to do PBR texturing in photoshop though.

New water just dropped, probably the first time I've ever worked on a VFX shader or thought for more than 5 minutes about what I'm actually doing.

But I'm happy with how this turned out for now!

Doing some #HourofCode tutorials to get more familiar in #UnrealEngine5, straying a little bit from the tutorials but I'd hate these platforming sections whenever I saw them so I just had to make one.

[Jack Belcher @ShodaMashin]

Back to learning #techart in #UE5, little more by the books this time using online tutorials.

I'm amazed at how easy it is to make such a warm cozy atmosphere and lights! I'll be thoroughly addicted to this all weekend.

Back to the #FF14 Asphodelos Claymore...
Does anyone know how to handpaint textures?
Asking for a friend.

Did a little TikTok about what goes through my head when I start a project now, as opposed to the start of my career—

[Jack Belcher @ShodaMashin]

Having a modelling day in #blender
This here's the Dark Knight weapon from last raid tier in #FF14, I used it for ages when I got mine.
The finished version looks great with fancy shaders and animations, hopefully we can recreate that😬
#FFXIVART

[Jack Belcher @ShodaMashin]

Today we learning #UnrealEngine5
We is making a big mess.
I wanted to make an icy caustic decal using parallax occlusion mapping and it sucks. But it's mine.

[Jack Belcher @ShodaMashin]

Thanks to some motivation at #GCAP22 It's time to finally begin technical art anew, although i may be a bit rusty

[Xalavier Nelson Jr. @WritNelson]

Thanks to @Wrenegadey, I now have the most cursed pokeball God ever spurned

[Jack Belcher @ShodaMashin]

[Jack Belcher @ShodaMashin]

@FF_XIV_EN Submitted my transfer 48 hours ago now, any reply or actual assistance with one of my many support tickets would be wild rn

[Jack Belcher @ShodaMashin]

@Xythana @FF_XIV_EN Exact same here, support has been a total joke, no further replies after generic "nah its fine" response

[Jack Belcher @ShodaMashin]

And I am still waiting, support does not care

[Joh @ChiBae_Official]

@FF_XIV_EN POV: @ShodaMashin getting stuck in world transfer limbo for 40 hours with no help from support
