maybe it's because I'm sick but I'm feeling particularly unhinged today vertex light ... indirect bounces ...

there's never been a better time to ditch adobe. It's been a long while since I used photoshop for anything (krita is great). You can work without it. Don't let them use convenience and familiarity to trick you into thinking you need to accept any conditions they offer you.

I have always been annoying about this, but you really gotta do your art reviews in hdr. especially for sky, vfx, and lighting/postprocess which are hotspots for hdr detail getting lost, or have big consequences for final presentation

They were one of the first platforms to make explicit rules on AI use and tools to flag them. Still one of the few sites to do it, because Newgrounds is a website for artists.

I want to hug this brave young man. Notice he is not masked. He feels no shame so has no need to hide behind a mask. #UnMaskICE #WTFAmerica #ResistRemoveReclaim
