@amit916J @games_inu Ya, Houdini seems like the smart thing if you wanted Skeletal Assemblies, but for Static Assemblies, being able to set things up in your chosen DCC and import fairly easily, I think that outweighs it for non-techy artists!

@trmrddr @games_inu I also found this method as well, which is nice because it's inside Houdini, so any instancing will propagate as well liamwedge.artstation.com/blog/mpygZ/nan…

Nanite Assemblies test in #UE5.8 branch from github. I see improvements! they generate much faster and they look better, there's much less noise when it turns to voxels

@games_inu @amit916J Downside with File > Import Into Level is that the FBX needs to have the correct unit scaling as opposed to the regular import method for an FBX. It seems to read the units quite differently, so if you don't set up your file in your DCC correctly, stuff gets x100 scaled 🙃

@games_inu @amit916J You can also use an FBX. Set up your assembly in Blender, using instancing on the objects, and instead of the regular import to content browser, you can use File > Import Into Level for your FBX. Then you can use the scripted action to make a quick static mesh assembly.

Lil Hermit sculpt I worked up a bit to celebrate the release of @playtankhead His noodle-legged pals are probably lurking just around the corner…

@panecasio It looks SICK. Definitely picking it up and doing some cool hand gestures in some ghosts' general direction!

@semmypls @henningsanden A lot of positions at Alpha Channel. Based in Toronto, Canada, but all remote so why not try if you see something that vibes with you :) twitter.com/playtankhead/s…

@panecasio Man I remember that part too... I was genuinely heartbroken when I got separated from my new friend. I spent a lot of time looking for them. Just as I had given up and ventured on, it turns out they were waiting for me up ahead where it calmed down. Amazing!

@panecasio @technouveau_art @MechArmand I'm taking notes, respectfully.

Shader refinements: I have colourful ambient occlusion activated. and edge detection that triggers a scratch map here and there. The texturemaps are detailed but restrained on specifics so they are reasonably easy to apply with simple mapping. #technouveau #b3d #blender

@panecasio Congratulations and happy birthday to the child!

@panecasio Holy moly this needs to be saved for moments when anyone questions the environmental storytelling of large text sprayed on a wall/car/bucket/shoe/lampshade/egg.

@panecasio Ooo ye! There's two things I've learned from doing environment art... everything looks better with ivy, everything looks cooler with cables. That's just hard facts.

Made some kind of power board while editing the scripts. I've modified RTubes spacing which will let it be used for effects like squiggly wires. And yes, Random Cables can be sourced from a single or multiple objects, it's just the face selection that matters. #b3d #randomflow

@panecasio I'm here for it.

@panecasio @_moyparra @jobyek @Papierfish does some, I'm pretty sure! Unless he just collects sprockets and doodads to keep the balance of "clutter-to-clean" ratio in equilibrium. I'd love to do some too... time to take apart some gundams! 😄🤖

⏪ on my second day at Respawn back in 2016 our previous art director Joel Emslie showed me around his kitbash workshop. He had an amazing eye for detail. This was the first time I saw who would eventually become Bloodhound 😌 🪓 No Artur yet 🥚

@panecasio I like the mental image of you making sure that when you laugh, you're also walking from one room to another for added impact. Someone tells a joke and you just start laughing and walk away.

@Medelinx @Giraffaloops It should! The picture shows it on my non-curved monitor, which is a 24" monitor (25" when you count the full monitor and not just screen). Still plenty of leeway. Tested it also on my curved monitor, ~28" w border, and was more snug, but fit. Went more straight than curved tho

@Giraffaloops Will the monitor scrunchie fit around a non curved 27in monitor?

Shop update now LIVE!! Ty for all the support!! 💕❤💕💖 Link below!!

@panecasio Option A may sound cooler but I gotta go for B because I like lemonade and I'm a simple man, and I voted with my gut and my gut wanted lemonade. It is what it is.

@Kazperstan Unfortunately, this is a very accurate reflection of my home decorating skills.

Setting up shaders for interiors always gives me "New home, no furniture" vibes

@panecasio @MagnusL3D @AscentTheGame Yeah I saw it this morning and then spent the remaining time trying to suppress the want to open Houdini straight away!! As if just playing the damn game wasn't inspiring enough, they found a way to make it even cooler haha

Another tool made with Houdini and Unreal for @AscentTheGame - NG_Pipe_Maker: artstation.com/artwork/Krndbx #Houdini #procedural #UnrealEngine #gamedev

@Simon_Houdini Really satisfying feel to it!

Play around again with Destruction! This time it is more baked out and simulated in Houdini. This is maybe for a next video👀 #houdini #procedural #UnrealEngine5 #screenshotsaturday #gamedev
