So you’re crafting something for an all-knowing megacorp that owns your data, your soul, and your dog microchip? A few clicks in #UnrealEngine to add a looming tower and an all-seeing eye and you are finished. A totally original idea! ...or, is it?

Kitbashing with the #UnrealEngine Modeling Tools a proper mecha-boss for my upcoming Packt book. This tool is so much fun to use and easy to work with even for a programmer like me.

I have partnered again with Packt to author a new #UnrealEngine book! I will be writing about advanced #CPlusPlus programming techniques.
This time, I'll be using the amazing assets from #Quaternius.
More updates very soon!

Some screenshot from Giulia's final project "Interludio"; an amazing mix-and-match of physical #sculpting, illustrations, #photogrammetry and #UnrealEngine cinematics. Congrats Giulia, that was an amazing journey!

A small update to my maze generation system based on Wang Tiles. I have created a tool widget that can generate persistent levels with some tile variations.

Some time ago I held a workshop for undergraduate students with puppet master Valerio Saccà. The project involvend #motioncapture, #photogrammetry and digital environments in #unrealengine.
Had so much fun with it!
