Going outside. Anyone got any tips/advice?

the year is 2025 and i still cannot get over the magic of baking high to low.

UK Artists/art fans upset about the government's AI copyright legislation plans that throw creatives under the bus, please see this document and fill out the linked government survey by the 25th!!! That's Tuesday!!!! Go go go! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

ok maybe making my 3D portfolio breakdowns look like album art is not the best use of my time but...

Can someone tell me what this computer is? Featured in xfiles s1 ep7. I must know so I can add it to my list of old computers I’ll never own.

Ya know some people actually enjoy making things. The value is in the process, in the discovery.

It’s car seat Sunday! Post your work in prog car seat models!!!

God I love 3d modelling it sucks ass

Found my happy place - turns out it’s three Minitels drawing letters and shapes

Lara has potentially the slowest block pushing animation ever and I’ve got all the time in the world for it.

yes!!! don’t leave game design to game designers

Oh my fucking lord I should make Monuments to Guilt in The Sims.

heh, I loaded up Sims 4 and found a bunch of the modernist buildings I built & uploaded like 10 years ago. Ridiculous how long it took me to realise I wanted to learn 3d modeling.

In the middle of a nazi filled warzone, going out of my way to find the 5th comic book of the day. ‘This shit sucks… but I’ll hold on to it……..?’

I love how every-time I pick up a collectible comic book in Indiana jones he mutters to himself about how he would never read this shit but his students might. Mate you’re the one collecting them, I dunno what to tell you. Maybe you wanna read the comics, live a little.

I can make my outlook lesbian now.

so do leftist youtube essayists have a cute lil discord where they ask each other to read quotes of the asshole their covering for their next video? i want in.

Imagine all the big bucks we could make if all the interesting, smart, creative people teamed up to con investors into funding some bs.

Has anyone made a brutalist marble run like game yet? I wish to dunk a lil shiny orb down weathered concrete

I like to be midway through closing the front door, think ‘do I have my keys?’ And then close the door before checking.

eyyy Monuments To Guilt hit 10k downloads sometime in the last month. That's neat. I think this is the first WIP screenshot i took. if you're looking for deep MTG lore, this room started as a modified version of a previous project -> www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJrs...

i think about max payne 3 more than i should, on reflection.

Going through my old laptop and I’ve found a folder called ‘The Folder’ with nothing in it.

Always find myself staring at these. Forbidden sockets.

My instagram is probs the better place if you rele only wanna see my work. Any personal stuff is relegated to stories so you can just ignore lol. www.instagram.com/louisthingss...

Christine is the first I’ve read of Stephen King and I cannot tell if it’s the theme or he just fukin despises women. Either way, I’m uncomfortable!

Mm yes thank you

I modelled a Minitel a couple years back. Now that I actually have one to compare I can confidently say I did an okay job.

When i was 11 I published my first Pivot stick figure animation to Youtube. It was a short clip of stick figures doing kickflips down stairs and bailing - leaving a growing pile of bodies at the foot of the steps. Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt played over the top. It got 20K views. what a time.

Spent all week trying to make good looking car taillights in unreal instead of shitty emissive blobs. Happy to say after multiple iterations I’ve ended up with… lots of shitty emissive blobs.

Rele not looking forward to when all the tacky 'ai' stuff from Illustrator starts getting shoved into Substance Painter. SP already feels a bit like cheating lol

My minitel doesn’t do anything other than let me type one line of text so it is now my one task only reminder tool.
