I’m working on a new AI rendering tool that gives full camera control using your 3D assets as a guide.

It’s designed to help creative professionals get the exact cinematic angle and mood they want.

Been working on a project to help with...my project!

It's a story bible software that drives all the sequences in the experience, allowing for true, dynamic and meaningful interactions with other characters.

Made a build of #WhispersInTheCorn and textures came in at 2.2GB. Too big. After going through one by one, got it down to 1.1GB with no loss to visual quality.

But it's tricky to find. Go to Editor.log>Build Report after a build to view your texture list.

Results from my Youtube channel poll last week. I actually love hearing there's plenty of interest in design theory and my process, two topics I enjoy sharing the most!

The Eyeball Creature from #AlienEarth is probably the most sinister monster of all time. When it jumped at the #xenomorph in ep 5, I actually felt bad for the xenomorph.

But have you ever been inside one…
