From now on I’m going to prioritize myself 🔆🌼🌻 Skin care, focusing on socials and networking, ditching toxic people, spend more time on 3D (to make more stuff like this!) , do more fun things, maybe lose some friends, maybe gain some friends, read more (and way more!!!)

I really hope to have a nice job someday as a 3D environment artist. It seems to fun to work on games with a (big) team, release a game and it's all just so exciting. Can't wait to make more friends and attend events like Gamescom, Unrealfest etc with them.

Just realized the power of stylized environments after my last project—so much engagement, compliments, and valuable feedback! Now for my current graduation project, I'm aiming for a (slight stylized) realism. Suddenly most of the engagement is gone, even in Discord servers.

In games you sometimes see over 10 ground textures in a small area. How do they do that??? With vertexpaint you get up to 4 and with landscape layer blending it feels like I don’t have a lot of options (like adding opacity masks) Anyone any tips? #UnrealEngine5
