It has recently come to my attention that if you've got a custom shadergraph (in Unity w/ URP) and you set the ambient occlusion to 0, materials that use said shader will render completely black when you bake your lightmaps, even you you have "ambient occlusion" unchecked in your lighting settings

One one hand this seems totally wrong (i.e a bug), but on the other hand I've been able to find absolutely nothing about this on the internet and I can't imagine I'm the only person to ever experience this? So perhaps it is I that am wrong

I recently had the pleasure of designing & coding The Zium Digest Oratorio, a free companion application launching alongside the latest project by the Zium: the Zium Digest. Out on April 15, 2026!

That's one of the best feelings isn't it, deleting a bunch of code

Hello! I'm a programmer and tech artist with some design and production experience, looking for work, ideally with others in Seattle. Good with C#, Unity, Godot, HLSL, Blender.

Resume: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

If you're using git then you might be able to get the work back, if it was only the push that got messed up not the actual commit you made locally! I am not sure otherwise, I've only really used git

Bloomington House (incl. closeups).
Had a lovely time working on this recent commission of a cozy childhood home.

That's so interesting to learn, I wouldn't have looked at this scene and guessed that there was so little landscape! It all looks so one-off and specific. Thanks for the sage advice!

That totally makes sense! For some reason whenever I've attempted to build a scene like that (including currently) I've struggled with the whole thing feeling too stiff & not-cohesive. Maybe I should be modeling the landscape first and then adding modular bits onto it? I'll figure it out eventually!

Probably a very silly question but I always wonder: how do you usually split up a scene like this asset-wise - i.e, how much of the design/composition is done in-editor and how much is done in a 3D modeling program?

Also really admire the designers' dedication to placing enterable, interactable bathrooms in every single level, sometimes multiple times.

Decided this year to play some old games that I have no nostalgia for, starting with the original Deus Ex from 2000. I knew I was going to enjoy it but wasn't expecting to get as engrossed as I did. I'm going to miss this crunchy, often endearingly janky, mysterious world

user interface is down the left hand side of the screen, which shows a map button, a question mark, various icons that show ants and spiders, puase, scent, and health meters. to the right is brown earth and a prompt showing an ant hatching from an egg(?), text above reads: you are now a worker!

Hey there I am at 0:12! Interesting how some communities are so insular they've got a big moat around them - like "Everton Football Club Supporters" and "Salesforce Community Professionals"

Thank you! There's a lot more where this came from, you shall soon see

Here's the kind of thing I'm using this for - using the r channel of the vertex color to gradually control the wave intensity of this water

I'm kind of proud of this Blender script I managed to write that creates a vertex color gradient between two colors, starting with the vertices you've selected and ending x distance away. Extremely helpful for a lot of the shader-writing I've been doing lately

I'm so happy to see scarecrow still holding it down like this! What a magical place
