Long story short, I'm not comfortable posting on this platform anymore with it's incresingly weak moderation. I'll keep this account on lock just to preserve it. If you'd like to keep up with my new work, find me on LinkedIn or artstation. Much love! 🐟

A lot of places are always looking for tech artists / vfx artists and other niche roles. Everybody wants a senior tech, nobody wants to invest in juniors to get them there. The longer we don't hire juniors the less seniors we will have as an industry.

Surface properties. Especially important when making textures & shaders. How shiny is it? How do fuzzy or scratchy surfaces work on a small scale? How should light look though glass? Honey? It'll help make better materials - you can go all out on the details.
