I got hit by the massive layoff at Blizzard and as of today I’m no longer employed. I’m an associate character technical artist looking for a job immediately since I’m on a work visa. That sucks :/

I've just released a new personal project using @rrrodreis character, Beryl! It's a rig made in Maya 2024 and it's also game-ready so you can import it into a game engine for your personal learnings if you prefer. Take a look at it here!

Hey! Finished this creature rig some time ago with @Guille_L_T Ghoul artwork! Pretty challenging ngl, I'm not used to creatures but it still was a nice project to work with, learned huge leaps with his feedback! You can get it here: #techart #rigging

You will have SEVEN beautiful Chroma alternate skins on this one, use the control above her head to swap them (this control can have its visibility toggled on the global control as well)! :D

@puccarts Thanks, Adriana! Relocating would not be a choice at the moment, currently looking for US or remote options since I’m on a work visa here. Thank you, though! I’ll consider this, for sure

Just had my spinal fusion surgery and as of day zero, I feel great! The doctor mentioned the scoliosis correction was very good and he will calculate exact percentages of correction later. Very happy with this! 🥰 The real "fun" begins at home when I'm no longer on opioids 🤡

Day 1: My back hurts like hell and I feel very stiff 😿 Nurses tried to help me sit but I almost fainted out of pain, medications side effects hitting hard too. I can sit properly now but it took some time! As long as I don't move too much, I'm good

Just updating one month later! I'm feeling mostly ok now, just a stiff feeling in my back but no constant pain, which is nice! It will take a few months before getting completely used to it, but I'm glad I went through the worst already. Here's a comparison picture:

Day 2 (or 3? I don't know 😂): I'll be back home soon already! Pain is being controlled with meds so I'm good as long as I'm taking them! 🙏🏼 I managed to walk nice and slow, and my movements are not that stiff anymore. Just a bit hard to lay down and get up by myself for now.

@LiquidSprocket I don't have many useful tips since I'm new as well, but what helped me tons was to research and learn about the people who were interviewing me, just to make me feel closer to them (it helped me with the nervousness).

@RaySoyama @Courtney_Fay_M Basically the texture files are named with a suffix from 0 to 7, the controller attribute just holds an index of the texture and then the material from Maya reads it, replacing the last character of the texture file name with the index! Example: Chroma_0, Chroma_1 etc.
