update on Asher's Slime game💚

The dungeon's popularity is plummeting! Only the Slime can make it fun again. Lots of magic sodas are needed to get the job done.

@Andersonmancini @jamesckane Likewise! It's fun to see the shader built in a different perspective and I've learned from you
Also skeletons really look the best when they are inside a slime..

@Andersonmancini @jamesckane Interesting.. Your gelatinous cube is on my reference board too🟩

This happens during combat / lock on as well. Details like this greatly reduce the chance of motion sickness, because "my viewpoint moves when I didn't expect it to" is the biggest cause of your brain thinking "something is wrong we must be poisoned".

Been studying 3rd person camera and discovered a neat trick from Zelda

Walls blocking camera is commonly solved by moving the viewpoint closer. However when the wall is moved away, Link's camera doesn't immediately jump to its original 3rd person position, instead only slowly recovers when there is user input.

🐦‍⬛I love making games, but there are others who seem to enjoy cancelling them more. So, I’ve decided to take a break and share my knowledge with people who truly care and love what they do.

Welcome to🖤 EmberShade🖤, my independent lighting art creative agency.

We've made Property History free & open source!

You can use it to quickly see the history of any property in Unreal

@Demruth Id pity them but their attempt of enshitification to fit the world to their shape is getting really old 👿

[Asher Zhu @Vuthric]

The thing I hate most about generative 'ai' art is when I see something actually good. I know a real artist did that style very well, and someone else drew her hair in this specific way I love and want to see more. But there is no way to know more about the artists who the 'ai' stole from.

'ai' art doesn't have real value but is getting better at theft and attracting eyeballs. It's disrespectful. Many reputable game companies I know are rolling out no-ai policy, my team among them. I don't care that stealing can be profitable. I didn't work my whole life becoming who I am today to be a piece of shit.

🗺️Places I visited + my lighting project + atmospheric lighting data.
📔Fog study diary link in the reply.
🌥️Exterior lighting is a system, where directional and sky light working together like a choir. I love begin with neutral fog, let the light blend quietly. #UE4 #Lighting

Thanks for all your DMs! I woke up to way too many animation showreels than I expected, a lot of which are spectacular and humbling, others inspiring with passion. I'll sort through everything in a day or two and also try to give as much constructive feedback as I can ❤️
