@highlyspammable.bsky.social did you ever make the portal tutorial?

so many theaters depend on grants from national endowment of the arts. this is where we are at. america is stripping funding from cultural institutions, education, and public art programs.

Thanks for taking the time to speak with us! 💪

Notice to all corporations: if you try to pass the cost of tariffs on to me I will "pass" on buying your product. As far as I'm concerned this is a "you problem"

Adobe deleting their first BlueSky post because they realize that the artist community pretty much universally hates them now is extremely funny

adobe deleted their post so this one's for posterity

Some personal effect update #rtvfx #vfxfriday #unrealengine5 #ue5 #vfx #gaming

And we're just getting started.

GDC was dope Highlight for me was playing the first ever card game using the Balatro playing cards with a bunch of really awesome indie dev friends I had met over the past couple years!

Things COVID has proven: 1) The job you were told couldn’t be done remotely, can be done remotely. 2) Many disabled workers could have been working from home, but corporations just didn’t want them to. 3) Internet is a utility and not a luxury. 4) Universal healthcare is a necessity.

Once all the cybertrucks end up in scrap yards I wonder what kind of conversions you’ll see. Lowering the entire thing and knocking all the crap off to turn it into a mutant Baja Bug.

This flew under the radar, but Trump revoked a minimum wage hike for companies that contract with the government. An estimated 390,000 workers will now see significant pay cuts. It's not surprising that Trump's populism is fake, but it's hardly ever been more clear.

📢 Do you know 'VFX Vault'? It says there gonna be more coming up than Unreal Engine tutorials! Pssst, I know some secrets ✨ Check out and follow their Bluesky account 👇👀 #vfx #rtvfx #UnrealEngine #UE5 #gamedev

I got to contribute to the VFX on this emote for #fortnite its for Midas called “Outlaw’s Mugshot” Which can be also seen on Fortnite.gg #epicgames #rtvfx #gameeffects fortnite.gg/cosmetics?id...

Onto Day 3 of GDC in a few more hours

It was great being able to hangout and meet other VFX artist game devs last night at GDC

Here is the “Outlaw’s Mugshot” part of the emotes I got to contribute and collaborate on with Epic Games for Fortnite @epicgamesoffical.bsky.social I had a blast being able to be able to work on one of my favorite games. #rtvfx #gameeffects #gamevfx #vfx #fortnite #ue5 #unrealengine

I really want to do sci fi on one richly detailed planet instead of a big bland galaxy with single biome planets

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

One thing I'm fucken sick of hearing is that people on the poverty line "don't want handouts." Well, the rich take hand outs. Maybe they're rich bc they were offered handouts. Maybe they're rich bc they take them. This "shame in receiving free money" for the poor but not the rich makes me SO MAD

One thing that's useful to remember is that genius, while rare, is not irreplaceable. There is no reason to keep smart assholes around when you can find someone comparably smart who isn't an asshole.

A reminder for these times.

Stylized muzzle-flash I’ve made a few years back. “Pew-pew diamonds”. #unreal #ue5 #rtvfx #vfx #epicgames #epic #uefn #noai #gamevfx #gamedev #gameeffects

Here are some of the emotes I got to contribute and collaborate on with Epic Games for Fortnite for the new season “Lawless” @epicgamesoffical.bsky.social I had a blast being able to be able to work on one of my favorite games. #rtvfx #gameeffects #gamevfx #vfx #fortnite #ue5 #unrealengine

There's a rad feature built into Unreal 5.4 and onwards that allows you to see any other actor with a matching property. Just activate the 'Property Color' Viewmode then Ctrl Click on a property and any actor with a matching property will be highlighted. Great for tracking down issues! #UETips
