A few things.

I have learnt a few things over the past week. Some of them are quite cool, some of them are inane. Some pertain to my projects, some do not.

In no particular order, here they are.

I have learnt -

• Tobacco makes my tummy hurt
• Goon is indeed cheaper than beer
• Beer generally tastes better than goon
• Gile[s] and Tree[d] are free, which is a VERY good thing - link to follow
• Pixel art is cool, and I am good at it
• I would like to help with art direction

Ok, so a little more about these things.

The first three points are quite irrelevant, and probably common knowledge. It is widely accepted that Beer is better than goon.

Gile[s] and Tree[d] being free is, however, very relevant and cool. I suggest that all the developers who need sweet lighting solutions for modelled levels should look no further than Gile[s]. It is Global Illumination baker - this will make your lighting sweet. Jump through the linking glass to get it.

Tree[d] is a tree generator. It is a great interface for creating cool, unique, and high quality tree models QUICKLY. On top of this already cool functionality, it export billboard textures for the trees as well. Hello Unity3D trees!! Projects like Islands and Lantern can use this a LOT. Once again, here is a link to the past(not really...)

Pixel art is cool. I have only done tiny amounts of it in the past, but with the advent of HenrikOKpenishand's Snowman game, I had a chance to do a bit. In the next few hours, Henrik will have posted the final version of the game, and you can see for yourselves the art I did in that. Why am I mentioning this? Well, it's always nice to have another string in your bow, and this is a particularly useful one. Hopefully more collabs with Henrik will happen. Here is a snap ---->


Finally, art direction. Something I do well, if I may be so bold as to say, is create an art-style. I was taught that when creating art, or doing anything for that matter, you need to be able to make confident mistakes. I make a lot of mistakes confidently. Also, with the experience I have had with art in various job roles, I understand the creative process needed for artists in a game development situation. If any one would like help with art direction, please feel free to talk to me. I won't take over a project and do the art-work. I like to think I could be of assistance when it comes to making a confident stride in a certain artistic direction.

Enjoy the Easter break, or don't enjoy the Easter break.
