We're nearly at the end of this month's 'Enhance a 3D Scene' sprint led by John O'Really 🤯 Last week we focused on Vertex Animation and had a surprise Live Feedback and Q&A session! 🎥 We dove into vertex animation, exploring how to bring more dynamic elements to our projects. 🛠 We continued working on our projects together, building on what we learned last week. 🌟 Our Feedback and Q&A session was hosted by Jay Broderick, Senior Tech Artist at Flix Interactive! She gave live feedback on our pieces and shared her inspiring journey in Technical Art. This week's standout piece of advice from Jay: 'As a technical artist, it can be challenging to show your progress when prototyping and exploring ideas. It's crucial to communicate your process and the reasons behind your work to help others understand your role and contributions. Remember to advocate for yourself!' #igsprints #technicalart #unrealengine #gamedev #gameart
