Random game dev tooling tip:
Give the team easy avenues to get from [player-facing name] to [file for that thing] in your editors

Often you only know the player-facing name!

I do this with cool old things too, for example I had to get this the other day because it’s Just Good (I do not have a diesel car)

Currently learning Houdini and aiming to update my portfolio, but here's some of my current work 🌟

Wow that is such a good sweater!!

Carrie Sloane @carriesloane.bsky.social · 2d

Interesting! I feel like that is slightly better, but I'd still assume that does something a little different than this. Words are weird

Carrie Sloane @carriesloane.bsky.social · 2d

Oh for sure, I use them for different stuff all the time. Just think the "poke faces" name feels weird!

Carrie Sloane @carriesloane.bsky.social · 2d

and by "does the same thing" I mean that the triangle fan fill option would get the same result as on the right. Wish I could edit stuff here.

Carrie Sloane @carriesloane.bsky.social · 2d

I guess I should clarify, this is what "poke faces" does! left is default cylinder (with N-gon fill; triangle fan does the same thing); right is with the middle N-gon selected and "poke face" done on it.

(... maybe this is why it's always confused me, like why isn't it just called "triangle fan"?)

Two squished cylinders in Blender. Left one has an N-gon (polygon with more than 3 edges), right one has its top made up of triangles instead.

do any other #blender users constantly forget what "poke faces" does? For me this name is for some reason kinda unintuitive; I feel like it's gonna do something more like what "push/pull" does for vertices

True yeah.

Carrie Sloane @carriesloane.bsky.social · 3d

I like how Fallout 4 did this, i.e. gameranx.com/features/id/...

because it's just a big list (I agree that LLMs are probs not needed for this) AND the list thematically matches the setting, so if you also leaned into that and named your character appropriately, your name will be said!

What's your number one personal game design principle? And even better - does it have a cool name?

"Return of the Obra Dinn" is seven years old this week.

For this not-particularly-special anniversary, here's a re-cammed and narrated timelapse of (nearly) all character creation, object modeling, scene posing, and general 3D work for Obra Dinn from 2015 to 2018:

ALSO I am very excited about this piece and to show yall, so keeping some of it a little more under wraps hence the blurriness

so I'm working on a new portfolio render of some cool outfits I made for an abandoned game jam -- this person was wearing lil birkenstocks and they're so cute, but I just had the idea maybe they should be wearing crocs and now I can't get it out of my head, so...

birkenstocks or crocs?
