Sometimes you want instances along an Array to deform, sometimes you want them to preserve their shape. Here's how to do both! #Blender #B3D #Blender3D

For me, it has to be this one by @FreyaHolmer . I fell in love with all things procedural and visual maths.

This really catapulted my understanding of modeling. The rules behind a good model. It is always not necessarily good topology for an absolute beginner. But understanding overlapping vertices and non manifold objects.

Breaking: We've obtained video of Border Patrol abandoning Nurul Shah Alam, the Buffalo refugee.

Border Patrol claimed the shop was open. The doors, however were locked. Agents never notified family or lawyers. Shah Alam died 5 days later.

@ales27020110 @ExposingIWC Thank you for translating. Her voice was beautiful and sexy while spoken Spanish. I fell in love even without knowing what she was saying. The magic of Spanish. 🥰

#Germany - Referee Pascal Kaiser, who proposed to his partner before the Cologne-Wolfsburg match, was attacked at his home.

It was reported that prior to the assault, Kaiser’s home address had been leaked on social media and he had received direct threats.

According to reports, the attack is seen as directly linked to the homophobic backlash and cyberbullying that escalated following the proposal.

A good painting + hue variation = a great painting!
This 6’ video breaks down where we find hue variation, how far to push it, and how value remains important (you really want to see these examples).

If you are an aspiring 3D environment/prop artist, it's very important that you understand the scarcity of texture memory. Production artists go to great lengths to squeeze the most from the least possible amount of textures.

If you are building a portfolio, include pieces that showcase:
- trim sheets,
- vertex paint masks,
- utilization of multiple UV sets,
- tiling textures and how you hide their repetition.

These works won't get you hundreds of likes, but they'll show that you have the right sensibilities. You don't have to be a tech artist and build an entire pipeline. Just showing that you are aware of those concepts is a strong signal to your future lead.

You do need pretty renders and hero props to get likes, establish your name and attract recruiters.
But don't ignore the biggest pain point of every single graphics-heavy production.

My favorite resources on the topic:

- The Ultimate Trim: Texturing Techniques of Sunset Overdrive — Morten Olsen (Insomniac Games)
Elegant and lightweight pipeline, almost an art form in itself.

- Behind the Art of Battlefield and Battlefront — Joel Zakrisson (DICE)
My personal favorite. Love the double UVs and the detail normals. Revisited this article many times over the years.

- Cyberpunk 2077: A World Full of Substance — Krzysztof Krzyścin (CDPR)
The gargantuan scale of CP2077, vast sightlines, high detail density — CDPR created a miracle.

- Driving Innovation: A New Vehicle Pipeline for 'The Last of Us: Part II' — Matthew Johns (Naughty Dog)
Helps drive home the actual sizes of used textures.

- Building the World of 'The Ascent' — Tor Frick (Neon Giant)
Teaches you what does and doesn't matter in production. Shows you how much data you can squeeze from an asset (color masks, mesh maps).

- Seaside Town UE4 — Vytautas Katarzis
All-time classic. Hyper-optimized doesn't mean ugly.

- Old Freight Car — Aleksandr Silantev
Very thorough breakdown that takes you deep behind the scenes.

- Modular Wood-Shack Kit: Insurgency Sandstorm — Vuk Banovic
Beautiful little example of how far you can take a single texture set.

I wrote a textbook-style guide for anime compositing. I know a lot of people are looking for that information, but I don't know how to get it out there.

Please take a look and share it with your friends!

@JDVance Yeah it absolutely has hit a new low--that we all watched the same fucking videos of a woman being murdered, her body slumped over a steering wheel next to your kids' toys, and this sick fucking administration is hellbent on distorting reality to avoid any fucking accountability.

Pastor: I saw ICE agents circling a young woman who appeared to be Hispanic. I said to this ICE agent, 'Take me, stop harassing her.' The agent got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, 'Are you afraid now?' To which I said, 'I am not afraid.' The next thing I knew, they were putting handcuffs on me, and they put me in the back of an SUV. I asked them if I was under arrest. They said to me, 'Well, you're white, you won't be any fun anyway.'
