🧵 breakdown thread of the Halo energy shield vfx!

(there's a couple approaches you could take for this, and a lot of optimisations possible for each part, so take this more as a general 'approach' than a specific step-by-step!)

With how many layoffs we’ve had over the past several years, remote work should be the default. Requiring relocation at this point is unreasonable for the risk that we’re just going to get laid off two months, six months, a year in.

I've spent *years* researching 3D Platformer Cameras in hopes of making Slime 64's camera "not terrible."

In this thread, the White Cylinder is the Camera Target (slightly above the player!), and the Orange Cones represent the "vertical dead zone" where the camera won't follow player movement.

A Magic School's gotta have students! In classic prep school fashion they adhear to a uniform dress code, but also have to stand out amongst their peers. We also needed to signify different levels of student education.

In Mind Over Magic you can capture and tame wild rats and croas and feed them your excess of crops to keep them happy! 😄

I worked on the croa and rat coop. The beautiful babies were modeled and textured by @andyfps.bsky.social and the concepts are by @andrewcollins27.bsky.social
