I finished this #3D project about a week ago, but due to the holidays never got around to posting it. This is a character created by the very talented @gaziter.bsky.social, I believe her name is 'Basil'. She was a lot of fun to work on, and now I know how to rig in #Blender!

Excitement! Adventure! Bubble-blowing Baby Boys! The SpongeBob movie I worked on just dropped its first teaser trailer! I rigged Patrick and Sandy, and many MANY secondary and background characters. December still feels like such a long way away....

This may be the first personality quiz I've done since the early 2000s xD I can't say it's wrong ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Down is -Z in Unreal and Blender, too. It generally depends what the most important plane is for the task. In film software, screen space is XY, with Z as depth. In (most) game and architecture software, the ground/floor is XY with Z as height (at least that's what I was taught)

Correct my math, but 215 is 1 more than 214, right? I'm not sure where you're getting 6 from the image you posted.

This is the right attitude 💜

10x10 looks like a more appropriate size to me. Single 8x8 block doesn't really feel like enough ground to stand on, and like the Critter shouldn't really be able to squeeze under that ledge (at least not comfortably).

Commented. I'm not at all confident they'll actually read or care what we have to say, but well worth a minute or two of my time to try, in any case.

It's true, I've been 38 for 4 years now 😏

I'm not really a game dev (more a 3d artist who started dabbling in Unreal) but I figured it out eventually, so I have full faith it'll click with you! A lot of the really powerful parts of the Ability System requires C++ tho, so my usage is fairly simple (I work primarily in Blueprints)

Fat-rolling for justice (my build isn't optimized for this)

Plus, at least from World onward, there are Dragon coins/Red coins/whatever secondary objectives to collect to encourage exploring the rest of the level.
