3d tile placement with WFC.This algorithm is amazing. Inspired by @OskSta and based on @ExUtumno work #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev pic.twitter.com/CIWKLZwnhi — Danny Wynne (@dwtw) December 17, 2016 This is probably the most challenging project I’ve tackled.

Rigging Test From 2011
A successful rigging test I did for Naughty Dog back in 2011. I was provided with only the mesh. With a nice base skeleton and some well place+rigged helper joints, I was able to get some nice results with the weighting.
Building NutrientCraft Webapp
Here is my web app, NutrientCraft.com A couple of months ago I was inspired by Rob Rhinehart’s soylent experiment in which he claims to have stopped eating food by consuming only the ingredients the body requires. From his blog, “There are no meats, fruits, vegetables, or breads here… I researched every substance the body needs […]

With OpenMayaUI I grab the active view port using M3dView.active3dView(). I wrap the pointer to the active view port in a sip instance. […]
Paint Processing Textures in Maya
This is a work in progress. It lets you paint cool 2d animated textures in Maya using processing. On OpenProcessing.org there are tons of amazing sketches that could can be used to create textures in Maya, so I wanted an easy interface to bridge the two technologies. It’s also an excuse for me to code […]
Maya Timeline Markers
This script lets you overlay markers on the timeline. Its useful if you need to set keys on different objects at certain times.
