Deviation Actions
Not a full journal by my standards at all, but I thought that I would at least throw some form of update up here. After well over a year of constant betterment and focus on intellectual and labour pursuits I have finally been stopped in my tracks. Its not a bad thing, just someone raised some questions and implied more to me. So hence no giant rant on the affairs of the world or game development or the like.
As before, I promise to eventually put some renders up of what I've worked on as a developer, rather then just leaving these old modding renders up, but in a sense the fact that you won't all be that impressed has stunted my motivation. That said, I did just figure out something easy, yet very geeky to submit. Will be up soon!

Portfolio, Blog, General Update
Clearly, its been a long time since I've really been active on DeviantART but I have been progressing steadily, I feel as a 3D artist, and more specifically these days as a Technical Artist so this sites relevance is not lost on me. I thought that since I may need some constructive criticism from the likes of the people I know on here it might be time to explain what I've been up to and what I'm planning.
Basically, around August/September last year the Game Developer (Wicked Witch Software) that I was employed by on a long term, full time basis had to make serious cut backs and as I'd gotten my work on the project we had done I was one of t
The birth of a Technical Artist
Once upon a time there was nothing. Or perhaps it wasn't once upon a time, since time didn't even exist as a concept. A mass of energy somehow spawned out of this singular nothing and exploded broadly into all space and time that currently exists. And thus the universe was born.
Soon patterns and waves formed this space and time into distinguishable matter. The matter was attracted to its neighbours and clumped together creating more and more waves of different kinds of energy. And thus stars were born.
Eventually these waves grew so great they caused these clumps to create new forms of energy. These new forms of energy caused great change
Displacement maps
I recently got hit up with this comment:
"So, what practical purpose does real time (*i assume that this is real time) displacement serve? Normal mapping is less hardware/software specific as far as I can tell, no need for directX 11+ support, and it looks nearly as good, if not better. And if normal mapping is too 'old', try some fancy parallax mapping.
That said, dx11 tessellation is a cool tech toy."

The comment is a good one as it challenges plenty of assumptions that game developers and gamers have ab
Simple maths disproves democracy
Many people live under the assumption that when they hear about economic growth or progress that they will recieve some benefit, with a wage increase or cheaper commodities. They have this belief that the system is fair and rewards their hard work and that their vote means they have power against people who oppress them.
Over time, they see examples that they can mentally cite that prove this. For example, Bill Gates is the richest man in the world thanks to his genius and hard work. Or indigenous people and ethnic minorities eventually gained rights in Western Capitalist states.
But what they don't realise is quite how far the system h

this sounds like an odd situation to imagine you in.
and if that sentence seemed incoherent, it probably was.
