Another VTuber project from earlier this year, this was a personal project where my goal was to learn applying realistic face tracking to a non human character.
This was a commissioned project of a Twilight Princess inspired 3D VTubing avatar. My first time creating a VTuber, so I learnt a lot and enjoyed bringing the character to life!
Recently completed VTuber commission of a cute little Jerboa Knight! Was a pleasure to work on such a fun character and I learnt a couple of new things about stylized shaders and rendering along the way.

Steve ends the interview with some great advice for aspiring artists wanting in the games industry...
Steve:…
Okay, so the truth is that they didn't steal any ideas from me or my team that worked on this project last year (obviously...)
Anyway, for my final year project I joined a team of six people and put together a program called "Game Creature Designer" (and yes, the title needs some work).
For those of you who've used the Spore Creature Creator, the program we made was basically that but in 2D.
The user would connect to a server set up to handle connections by this program.
Then you'd have a…

One of the issues raised during last week's Q&A on ABC television was the subject of R-ratings for video games. Now's your chance to watch how misinformed people are about games!

I found this site through a comment left on the ScreenPlay blog on The Age website.
Anyway, I guess I'll do the mandatory "about myself" here.
I finished studying my Games Technology course at La Trobe at the end of last year.
The day I finished I was offered a casual job writing web code for a company
(not that I'd really written much web code before...)
I finished with that job a month ago today. Now I'm looking to get into games.
I did study to make games after all...
I'm finding it hard…
I've neglected my Sumea profile again... it's been so long I see that the website has grown an extra letter since the last time I uploaded anything.
Most of what I've been doing is 2D but I might eventually upload some of my older level work (and perhaps newer).
I'm also going to be at Animania in Sydney later this month.
