I think what disgusts me most about this sort of thing is the affect of an actual painting. All those “brushstrokes” suggest effort, prolonged hours of concentration, a skill set. But there’s none of that here. Pure poseur bullshit

For the last 15 years, I've been building tools for Maya. About 12 years ago, I started rethinking Maya from the ground up and wrote a plan to reinvent every tool. The original dream was a single, all-in-one product that would change everything, and I spent years working toward exactly that. But a product that ambitious was always years away. So rather than make you wait, or just release small products, I decided to release it the way it should have been all along: as a series of focused tools, each one reinventing a different part of Maya. This is the first: a sculpting toolset that brings powerful, GPU-based modern sculpting right inside Maya, no round-tripping to another app, no breaking your workflow. And this is just the beginning! cgelementary.gumroad.com/l/C…

The Guild Wars 3 preview single-handedly renewed my faith in the MMO genre. Holy crap.

#UnrealEngine5.6 has a "Locomotor" plugin which provides a new #ControlRig node for procedural locomotion. It takes a target position as input, and outputs an array of feet transforms which animate over time to step towards the goal location. Pelvis motion is also generated. 🧵1/4
