Okay recently we discussed how to create an efficient escalator geometry, but what about animating it?
Of course you can always just send a bunch of stairs along a spine, but I didn't like that. First of all: a bunch of objects running on a loop seems like a bit of a hassle and also a waste of draw-calls.
So as I was expecting to do a lot of math anyways, I wanted to just do it properly.

Peter Bourgelais aka SuperArjunaNose was a co-organizer for the Maine Video Game Devs group for several years, then moved up to Montreal to work for Ubisoft as a tech artist.
He's giving a talk about his experience a week from Friday (the 11th, 7PM Eastern) for anyone who's OK with joining a Discord group to hear a talk...
Unlocking my hotel room door using my fingernails!

My latest #DefconNails are inspired by Jon Buckley's "High Tech Monopoly" and feature 2x hidden Mifare Classic 1K "magic" chips (can write to UID and sector 0) and 2x custom NTAG213+LED nail stickers that I designed.
I've been doing #NFC nails since 2015, and Mifare nails since 2017, but I've never really done any videos showcasing their capabilities. So this year, I've made a video that shows me using a #FlipperZero to clone my hotel room key onto the Mifare magic chip on my middle finger, enabling me to unlock my hotel room door with my fingernail!
A resource I've used to grow as a #python developer is pyvideo.org, which hosts recordings of Python conference tasks.
There are thousands of talks about a wide array of subjects. This linked thread from my old account is about the talks I feel have learned from.

Hey! If anyone's looking for a remote Technical Artist / Game Dev Generalist for Unreal, Unity, or elsewise, hit me up!
Specialties are stylized, optimized shaders and VFX for 2D and 3D, as well as system design and programming. I'm good at what I do, and my dance card is open.
It's been a while since I've joined like a whole different social media platform, so I suppose I can make an #introduction post.

The problem about being a Technical Artist is the field is so vague I often wonder if I actually know enough to be one
Sure I know how to use Houdini, author shaders, code plugins, make VFX. But I dunno the difference between forward and deferred rendering so clearly I’m a hack
I'm releasing my #Unity URP volumetric fog. Add it as a package to your project and have a play with it! #gamedev #techart #rendering
My #OpenSource #GodotEngine #PS1 Shaders recently hit 300 stars on GitHub!
