Very nice video about the current state of things with #UNITY (and how to prepare yourself for it)

The team behind the first successful Windows gaming handheld (GPD Win, released back in 2017) started an Indiegogo campaign for Win 4: same as their recent giant Win Max 2 (that I own) it runs on Ryzen 6800U, but Win 4 is tiny, lightweight, and cheap:

But it's still a monster that runs any AAA games with reasonable framerates for 2-3 hours! And it is packed with 2280 SSD, so unlike Deck's 2230 size this one is much easier to upgrade.

If you missed the recent video about #Unity confusing state of things, here's my favorite part, comparing Render Pipelines!

But there are many other topics mentioned, so don't forget to watch! ☺

Should I finally try Skyrim?

Use proper terms in your portfolio!

#LevelDesign vs #LevelArt – jobs where your goal is to build layouts, measure sizes, scatter points of interest are Level Design. But textures, foliage, etc are related to Level Art or Environmental Art, Lighting is a separate job, VFX and shaders are Technical Artists job, etc.

If your job is somehow to do both in a big studio, try to focus and master one keeping another as plan b.

And here is how work on Sniper Elite 4 (2017) shifted from #LevelDesign to #LevelArt

Noticed, that even in late phases there were Level Design changes too? 😉

The guy spent many months creating #UnrealEngine 5 course, that will help developers to make their own #PUBG:

Behind promoting AI ban there are Disney, Netflix, Sony and the rest of Copyright Alliance.

Their goal is not to help artists but to ban various areas including commercial fanart. So, well, whoever placed AI on their Artstation to "save human art", actually supported the corporate lobby. Congratulations!

What a year for gamers!
