If you haven’t pledged yet, do it now! My all time favorite game needs a well deserved sequel.

I’m learning to use Unity’s Tree creator. My first tree is going to be Japanese maple. Here’s a bark shader for it :)

Hi everybody!

I’ve been super busy at work lately so I decided to take a 10 day vacation and reload my batteries. I’ve mostly spent my time being in coma and playing Ni no Kuni on my PS3. That game is mind-blowingly beautiful. Those texture artists are not from this world! After 7 days of being nonproductive I’m starting to have my creative juices flowing again. Here’s some proof of it! He is a character for a platformer game I’ve been wanting to do at some point. You have probably seen sketches of him before but this first time I’m actually proceeding to modeling phase. I also added a picture of ninja girl I’ve been working for Polycount challenge but it might be that I don’t have time to finish her.

Modeling part is reaaaaady. Time for color!

There’s a Ghost in the Shell Standalone Complex online game coming and the promo art looks pretty sweet. What you think?
