Barış Kılıç explains how he blended Mediterranean architecture with The Last of Us aesthetic in his Mediterranean Echoes scene, shares his trick for distributing polygons wisely, and reflects on the challenge of making a set of custom materials in Substance 3D Designer. “With the main objects and angles set in both spaces, I wanted to add something of my own to the corridor, so I knocked down one of its walls to strengthen the sense of abandonment. I then added mid-sized objects to test the storytelling while still in blockout.” Read the breakdown: 80.lv/articles/building-an-a…

Animating stylized fire is a constant battle between structure and chaos. 🔥 Consistent wind creates clean horizontal flows, but truly realistic fire relies on air turbulence to drive unpredictable back-and-forth shapes. The sweet spot? Use the wave principle, but keep the movement angled upward instead of letting it flatline. What’s your go-to method for balancing math vs. chaos in your FX? 👇 #VFX #Animation #FXArtist #2DAnimation
