I was taking these shots and left a whole level floating in the background sky. This is fine.

Some major overhauling of c1m4. a bit more detail in the second half and it'll be done.

I've been enjoying building this place up like each room is it's own unique building. My early concerns of how to handle this multi-angled tiered blockouts have been laid to rest!

Throwback! I found my single texture sheet Unreal Tournament level I made maybe 20 years ago?

Unreal Tournament 2004 is still cool.

c1m2 pretty much finished. A bit more lighting polish and added secrets will wrap it up.

I also have a custom start map.

Six years ago I started assembling a #Quake episode. I dug it out of a old hard drive last night and got it all setup to work. Some areas are blockouts and some are closer to complete. Maybe I can finish it up.

Made some furniture with my woodkit to improve the life of the cultists. Now to make things to put on them.

I've posted the February update for #TemptGame on our discord

I recall loading screen calling every asset in the game. I asked the lead programmer why it didn't just load what was in the level. He fixed it and load times were dramatically improved.
At the time I was doing FX editing fractions in notepad. Dev time of seconds waiting 5+ minutes loading.

Using the #Scythe plugin by @kronok.bsky.social for #UnrealEngine, I modeled this sci-fi hall in two evenings. I would rebuild most of it with what I learned, but it was fun to make. #screenshotsaturday

Lava Cave Archway - Unreal Engine 5, Chris Holden I created all meshes created in 3ds Max, textures in Substance Designer and materials in Unreal Engine 5. Particles FX are broken down and modified UE starter content fire particle.

Here's the final scene on ArtStation. Thanks for all the support on this piece. It was a lot of fun.

an alleyway exercise last night. Not sure if I'll take it further. #unrealengine #gamedev

I'll do that. It was bugging me as well. I'm doing another FX pass before final Art Station post/video and I believe I have a solution.

Wrapped this scene up last night. After the last rounds of feedback I'll put together final presentation images.

Happy 2nd anniversary to #GRAVEN! You're still a good bit of retro art and design that folks may appreciate in 20 years.

Started a new environment piece over the weekend. Only clean meshes besides the lava texture so far. May be part of something bigger. Hoping to wrap it this weekend if weather allows.

I forgot rocks so I dug up a pack I bought ten years ago. Still looks great after reducing it to a since 512 diffuse. It's also massive scale as the cultist enemy is player sized.
#TemptGame #unrealengine #gamedev

Thanks. I thought the screenshots looked cool, and had a good times recreating some of the scenes.

A really impressive recreation of the Ritual Division from CONTROL. Crazy how accurate it looks considering the gap in technology.

Surface entrance to the Crypt.

built this collapsed tower area last night from flat, empty landscape. Pretty happy with the setting so far.
