Question3D Modellers and texture artists here?
Hello. I wondered if there are modellers or texture/material artists among us!
I'm a modeller and texture artist with an interest in game-ready and low resolution graphics- More along the lines of 2000s graphics than PS1 or geometric art styles, but I branch out sometimes.
I'm currently trying to learn to draw my own textures in a painterly artstyle. I tend to follow Grant Abbit's tutorials becuase his style is similar to what I'm going for
I wondered if people here would be interested in me linking tutorials or assets that I find, or talking about inspiration or projects. Also if you know of any texturing tutorials, let me know!
I'm afraid I'm not to comfortable discussing my exact interests out in the open here, due to men or trans rights activists watching. I may message you about it.
Update: Actually, I think I'll link Grant Abbit's tutorials, becuase I find them useful.
Interesting article.
The one next to it about the 8000 year old burial with a dog in it annoyed me. They always talk about “faithful hounds” with this sort of thing as if the dog chose it. Those poor animals were killed.

It's interesting isnt it? It wades into a man's sense of ownership - They use to call mastery of nature. The perceived belief that they do and in their own divine right "own" living things, such as dogs and animals. With that comes there "god given right" to kill & eat.
Though I cannot really argue when the sacrifice of animals and people appears to have been very prevalent throughout known history. Still, worth a ponder.
Not just men’s graves, either. There was a dig in England on a Time Team episode where a woman - Roman era, iirc - had a little dog buried with her.
Then of course there are all the poor horses in tombs.
That's a gruesome part of burial history; however, there is much evidence that throughout many eras of prehistory graves weren't closed-off units, but frequently reopened to include more burial offerings, rearrange the bones, take out older objects, or include new burials next to the original one. So there's a likelihood that not all animal companions were sacrificed specifically for the owner's deaths.
“Our modern society is like a blip in the timeline of human history,” said Chambers. “The truth is that human-dog relationships have not looked like they do in Western industrialized societies for most of human history, and looking at traditional societies can offer a wider vision.”
The findings showed that women’s involvement with dogs correlated with a rise in pet “personhood,” affording them advantages such as a given name, sleeping on furniture or being ceremoniously mourned at passing." 😢
