What an epic day it was! This year was the first time I attended #DutchGameDay, and the #DutchGameAwards, where I had the honour to be a jury member and give the Best Technology Award to @vertigogames for their outstanding work on #The7thGuest VR. The volumetric video blew us away, and the more subtle details like the lantern mechanics and the effect it has on the environment, the physical interactions you can have with props and the tech art visual flourishes scattered throughout the game.
A proud moment for sure, and an experience I'll always remember fondly.
Special thanks to @DGA_online for making this happen!

You may or may not have heard that the Mystery Box is back for 2026.
It’s available right now as I’m posting this, but I suspect we’ll run out of stock in the next few hours.
There’s a whole bunch more info you can find linked here: chasebliss.com/mystery-box-i…

Did someone say new and improved texturing work? 👀
Substance 3D Painter 12.2’s updates are all about making everyday texturing work quicker and easier. From selecting parts of a model to preparing a bake, this latest version addresses some of the time-consuming steps that can interrupt your flow, so you can enjoy staying locked into your creations!
Update Substance 3D Painter today to explore these new upgrades! adobe.ly/3WFlS9N
Some more @Substance3D Designer SDF experimentation to wrap my head around SDF modeling/design. Of course it had to be donuts! (Next up is sprinkles, "hagelslag" as we say in NL, then a coffee cup and maybe some plates, and scatter it all around.
I just released a free retro-style HDRI pack inspired by 00s CGI. I made these years ago, and bundled them together for whomever wants to have fun with them.
Cheers!

Some Substance Designer materials I made recently, been refining them for a while
If it's useful to anyone, the graphs are on my Artstation

I like how it appears there is stuff in between the lamp and the curtain. Its randomisable with different types of blinds and curtains, and clutter behind the curtain.
Can’t believe it’s already 5 years since this happened! Together we shipped @Marvel Ironman VR for @MetaQuestVR 2 and @Batman Arkham Shadow for Quest 3.
It was a lovely and extremely talented team to work with and with them I had some of my best experiences in the industry. ❤️
I'm very happy and proud to share that starting today, I'm joining the @Camouflaj team as a texture/material consultant!
Magical! Great as an educational tool as well. The quality and fidelity is nigh on unbelievable. I’m gobsmacked. 🤯
