Quite a mouthful, huh? In university, I graduated a semester early with three internships under my belt: Retora Games, Dell Technologies, and Walter P. Moore. I also was commissioned twice to make digital app mockups by UT, served as an officer for video game club EGaDS! and queer folks in technology club Q++, and worked at the McCombs School of Business as a graphic designer before graduating with high honors. Afterwards I would move on to work at Keywords Studios, Intl. as a technical artist and get to make video games every day! Alongside working full time, I’m also pursuing a Master’s degree in Computer Science at Georgia Tech. I’m a nonbinary, first-generation American-born, Vietnamese college student who has some time on their hands. Nice to meet you. I’m a digital artist, programmer, and technical artist. I like tech art the most because I get to do everything. When I’m not doing game dev things, I’m reading a good book, walking my cat, building dollhouses, building robots, listening to podcasts, drawing, playing video games, or learning something new. https://www.terry-nguyen.com/home daily 1.0 2023-04-12 https://www.terry-nguyen.com/games daily 0.75 2025-01-08 https://www.terry-nguyen.com/games/ruff-night monthly 0.5 2021-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1603916722585-1FI731IK6Y7CY4V42IQN/Screenshot+%286%29.png Games - Ruff Night at the Museum “Ruff Night at the Museum” was made for the Shock & Awwww game jam hosted by Fantastic Arcade and ATX GameMakers. The gist of the jam is to make a game with cute jumpscapes (like Spooky’s House of Jumpscares), meaning making something scary without blood, gore, or irreparable bodily trauma. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1628095574430-8X5HQJATE2LBNTER7JMS/TerryNguyen_Highlights4.PNG Games - Ruff Night at the Museum - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1603916680790-AED857YU7VZ0CC9VSLMP/Screenshot+%2811%29.png Games - Ruff Night at the Museum The gameplay is simple: get through the museum picking up keys and don’t get licked by the adorable dogs that have decided to haunt the paintings around you. I had the pleasure of making the dog paintings and their ghosts. It was great fun parodying famous paintings (and yes, they’re all named with puns in mind). https://www.terry-nguyen.com/games/egads-mega-micro-jam monthly 0.5 2023-01-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1611611140263-NTHK5ZYESV15W870N6NS/gha1DU.png Games - EGaDS!

Mega Micro Jam 2020 As an officer of the Electronic Game Developers Society at UT Austin, I had the pleasure of helping put together our very first Mega Micro Jam! It is a relatively very short game jam where each team focuses on creating one short minigame. At the end, all the games are put together into one minigame collection inspired by the WarioWare series. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1611611306674-K05W1W1BJ5OIM0W45DS8/qO0qDv.png Games - EGaDS! Mega Micro Jam 2020 My role this jam was mostly to pump out as many art assets as I could, with some animation here and there. Alongside making the non-character assets in the main game, I also joined the team that would be making the boss level: an epic culinary cook-off between chef Gordon Ramsey and a bee. https://www.terry-nguyen.com/games/a-murder-of-crows monthly 0.5 2021-06-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1603940943669-MUM1UJWF57611LB94ZPA/Screenshot2.JPG Games - A Murder of Crows The gameplay is split into 2 phases: investigation and battle. They interchange between themselves, allowing the player for regular beats of excitement, then downtime, then excitement again. We based the fighting mechanics on the Fire Emblem franchise, with each unit being able to move within the grid. Adjacent units can interact as the player and computer switch turns. The scene above shows the onboarding sequence, when the player is just getting used to the controls. Here the crows are simply attacking a bag of chips, which is helpless against their talons! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1603940922244-ET7SDINEEM9DKBWDCU2C/Screenshot1.JPG Games - A Murder of Crows I made “A Murder of Crows” with a team of 5 other people. It’s actually still in the oven right now but should be released on Itch.io and (hopefully) Android by the end of the year! Keep your eyes peeled for when I update this page with new information. In this turn-based strategy noir, you play as Private Investigator Crowley Corvo, New York’s best problem solver. You also happen to be a group of crows idling around in a trench coat. I worked as an artist, animator, and programmer on this lovely project. In the title screen above, I spent several (a few too many) hours making the title screen. I’ve gotten pretty used to Unity’s animation feature with this project. “A Murder of Crows” drifts in from the top, and my talented coworker made each of the buttons animate as well. My favorite part of this scene is the streetlights, which I made flicker every few random seconds. I’m really proud of this. When I finished it and we started the game, I thought “holy crap, we’re doing this!”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1603940964063-1LY48EMJPP30DTP7LJAV/Screenshot3.JPG Games - A Murder of Crows https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1603985370812-D4P7D0AVUD7X2EAP2ITZ/Portraits_Dialogue_Crowley.png Games - A Murder of Crows https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1603985367116-ECZFIC4IB8KI5PHNJ69V/Portraits_Dialogue_Informant.png Games - A Murder of Crows https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1603985370529-S1HZ0OJ5CZHAJU6D9EK8/Portraits_Dialogue_Partner.png Games - A Murder of Crows https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1603985366869-EELSBVKWVAFHQABXHFBT/Portraits_Dialogue_Police.png Games - A Murder of Crows https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1603985378416-9WE9751Q9IUKODQVQ2HX/Sprites_Overworld_CrowleyRIGHT.png Games - A Murder of Crows https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1603985403677-XQN9ZWRL9RGG4VHGCOIA/Sprites_Combat_CrowFlying_01.png Games - A Murder of Crows https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1603985393673-9RJL3W5VEPYDIEHHPR2V/Sprites_Overworld_Partner.png Games - A Murder of Crows https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1603985391675-ZQ6KDQ382RNZFZGE6MGZ/Sprites_Overworld_Police.png Games - A Murder of Crows https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1603985402013-2BESYKZKLFRV4KIIIBV6/Scene_Overworld_Clue_File.png Games - A Murder of Crows https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1603985398055-BTG799B2MP9H3UP19YZ0/Scene_Overworld_Clue_Knife.png Games - A Murder of Crows https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1603985398456-QSOZTB2ORC6PVNNDF7B2/Scene_Overworld_Clue_Lipstick.png Games - A Murder of Crows https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1603985402051-PL1EFUKIBJK6U5WG1FOK/Scene_Overworld_Clue_Note.png Games - A Murder of Crows https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1603985402855-XCL0YHAZ8YGTST3SASQD/Scene_Overworld_Clue_Picture.png Games - A Murder of Crows https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1603985401432-HLX6KWYWVRKR34PUXGHK/Scene_Overworld_Clue_StickyNote.png Games - A Murder of Crows https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1603985402264-C86D9UQ4IAM3WQ73ACE3/Scene_Overworld_Clue_Watch.png Games - A Murder of Crows https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1603985418073-U3ITCLQEK5TISIHPMZ5I/Misc_Combat_LoseScreen_02.png Games - A Murder of Crows https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1603985417731-2L4115YZ2IXUFVMPHOYL/Misc_Combat_WinScreen_01.png Games - A Murder of Crows https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1603985413123-5VCGHERD4MS7RQMDH7E9/Misc_Overworld_Chips.png Games - A Murder of Crows https://www.terry-nguyen.com/games/no-body monthly 0.5 2021-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1623125127308-WPXHJJGLZP75DEKSVK87/2.jpg Games - No Body The player wanders through dimly lit halls inspired by those commonly described as liminal spaces. They are transitionary, unsure, and unnerving. Various demons wander through this space between worlds, each with slightly unique behavioral patterns — stalking, shy, meandering, straight-laced, erratic, and so on. It’s simpler than it sounds. Three mirrors are located throughout the entire map. Hiding inside of one restores health, but hiding for too long damages the player further. They also serve as a hub for the player to check on the state of their health by looking into their reflection. Interacting with the mirrors is supposed to represent taking on the form others want you to have, for self preservation. Unlike most horror games with scary monsters that try to kill you, “No Body” will ask you to do the opposite. “Kill the demons. Be brave.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1623125157990-3DQ9LYYHE7HB03I40HGU/4.jpg Games - No Body https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1623125107984-OBFVIMM1ARGISUEG3BFI/1.jpg Games - No Body “No Body” is a game made in a little over a month. It was created as a pet project for me, something unapologetically selfish and weird. As you can probably tell, it takes aesthetic inspiration from old Playstation 1 titles, with an artificially lowered resolution and crispy textures. Though the experience is purposefully made vague and confusing, it is made with the intention of being a representation of mind clutter, doubt in someone who does not conform to convention. It is about not feeling at home or happy in your own skin. More specifically, someone who is gender nonconforming, but again the purpose is left nebulous for the player. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/b8bf7614-96de-4c8c-81b8-19a368a1722e/mon2.1.png Games - No Body https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/ecb0d318-389a-49ec-af6d-52481e08c7e5/mon3.1.png Games - No Body https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/18cfdaa2-7d9c-47ca-b13d-5432a4b06eef/mon4.1.png Games - No Body https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/63ff49a3-6f75-42b5-b9e7-ed8c0b36d2a5/mon5.1.png Games - No Body https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/bddf782c-6dd2-4aa0-9968-f41d1f66e26d/monster_placeholder.png Games - No Body https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/67a2aab9-eab1-48eb-b380-bed7c818ea12/mon1.1.png Games - No Body https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/d8777a85-423c-4b15-9c2b-4a2146b2cc7e/Bite3.png Games - No Body https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/40b932f7-1659-400f-8bbb-e0a1cd9c015c/DefUp.png Games - No Body https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/c170489c-0634-483c-b39b-309554db5cc6/1.1.png Games - No Body https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/a36319b0-9ee7-43c1-865f-e65eef3a6047/2.2.png Games - No Body https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/e4a95e36-e424-4840-ba4c-d3981dccee29/3.1.png Games - No Body https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/7fb0f06c-3890-444d-8794-a6642e73ce17/4.1.png Games - No Body https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/8d598e87-37bc-46ee-9363-3a94dec19b7c/5.1.png Games - No Body https://www.terry-nguyen.com/games/mrs-fantastics monthly 0.5 2021-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1623703416368-LLGN3LRQI283TY5FX0MI/8JxLjU.gif Games - Mrs. Fantastic's Freaky Figurine Shop The game is pretty forgiving, since it encourages a trial-and-error approach from the player. If the player messes up, the action is instantly undoable with a button. I implemented the rewind effect shown above, which is achieved by playing a video clip with lowered transparency over the camera. I also created the dialogue bubbles used by the rubber ducks, which usually contain important onboarding information for the player. A public string allows the designer to type in the desired text right from Unity’s interface, and a box trigger senses when the player is near, so that the speech bubble may animate in and out. The script that handles loading levels allows the player to proceed smoothly with fade transition while the next level boots up. This prevents the screen from jumping to the next scene in a jarring manner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1623703381292-76NHLGX31IX8H324T804/ya9HLM.png Games - Mrs. Fantastic's Freaky Figurine Shop “Mrs. Fantastic’s” follows a trio of children who wander into a witch’s toy shop. They are turned into little toys, and must traverse a series of environmental puzzles in order to escape. I LOVED working on this game. It’s incredibly cute, my team was great, and I’m really proud of the work I did on it. The majority of my work is a little less obvious from looking at these screenshots. I took care of the vast majority of art asset importing, taking the 3D models from the artists and implementing them into prefabs, the animation state machine hooked up, toon shaded and ready for the programmers to use. I also implemented 2D sprites into bouncy, juicy UI and animated the cutscenes coming in and out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1623703467635-JWSCO8G18YGAU78PY3T0/EYrzMR.jpg Games - Mrs. Fantastic's Freaky Figurine Shop https://www.terry-nguyen.com/games/bug-boy-and-the-frightening-lightning monthly 0.5 2022-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1632966484220-MU0JJPRCPWFVS09QYKEN/bugboy.PNG Games - Bug Boy & the Frightening Lightning It's a hot autumn night and the birds are starving. Defeat enemies in a procedurally generated dungeon, zap them with your lightning, and survive through the night! Remember that DEATH IS NOT THE END. Continue to upgrade your skills each play through and don't give up. I am so incredibly proud of “Bug Boy”. With my last semester in college, it’s pretty crazy how much I’ve learned since my very first game. This jam really challenged my skills as a technical artist, making the VFX, shaders, wind effects, setting up prefabs, optimizing, and pretty much everything I ever could’ve hoped for. This game was made for Texas Game Jam 2021 with the very talented team of Jake Nguyen, Robert Guan, Noah Sotolongo, Leah Liu, Wade Bribach, Ále Acevedo, and Remi Cooper. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1632966506313-XJP8ZEJB0KLUO4O5O5OK/Bugboy_SS3.PNG Games - Bug Boy & the Frightening Lightning When the jam started, we really hit the ground running. I was also lucky to be put with a very talented team. I still can’t believe we made this in only 48 hours! The lightning attack you see above is actually made up of a rectangular piece of geometry. A transparent PNG of lightning scrolls along it lengthwise. Throughout the game you see wind and stray leaves flying around. These are all single-object particle systems that are instanced in random places within the area’s bounds, given a random rotation, and sent off to fly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1632966538061-KPZFLFFIJ6WJ2U5RUSIA/Bugboy_SS1.PNG Games - Bug Boy & the Frightening Lightning - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.terry-nguyen.com/games/mt-kleim-being monthly 0.5 2021-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1632964990075-NCOYG6L40HUP9316IFKF/mtkleimbeing2.PNG Games - Mt.

I worked as a technical artist on these planes. My work consisted on a whole bunch of things. I integrated the art files into the engine using MSFS’s DevMode package intake system. I spent many days hunting and squashing bugs, whether it be in the ever-growing 3DS Max file changing hierarchy, materials, textures, and export settings, or in the project’s XML code files, ensuring the animations respond accordingly, the model renders as it should, and the plane moves accurately. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/6b124f05-715d-4051-9554-6ea9bf6bd79e/dornier_wal_flight_simulator_1.jpg Games - Microsoft Flight Simulator - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/dc41c166-7a6e-449b-972d-385ab5bf7c8b/msfs-2024-zebra-closeup.jpg Games - Microsoft Flight Simulator - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1ca543d4-5df1-45b1-a781-1b477501d500/08.01.2025_13.09.31_REC.png Games - Microsoft Flight Simulator - Make it stand out My first professionally named credit!

You play as a hunk of fleshy meat frantically scrambling around your apartment trying to find your dog. The only problem is that you can’t see, and you think everything in your house is a dog. Don’t ask me how this works. This is the theater of the mind! Your movement is limited in that you can only traverse in a straight line until you choose to change direction (like Snake). Bumping into walls or imposter dogs causes you to get hurt and lose a pair of arms. Successfully petting a dog or eating food makes you happy, causing you to grow arms. The shtick of the game is that you have to listen to the barks of the dogs that spawn in the level. Imposter dogs will sound slightly distorted. (For example, television dogs will have a clip of TV static electricity underneath their barks). I think the game is wonderfully fun and I encourage you to check it out below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1600819874730-QCD8POD5E76CQRHD8GKB/pet1.jpg Games - I Wish To Feel My Canine “I Wish To Feel My Canine” is a wonderful, weird, and wacky game I got to work on primarily as a programmer. It was a wonderful challenge because I’ve only ever worked as the art tank or a side programmer. But this time, oh boy, I got to take control of the wheel. To be honest, when I heard our main programmer wasn’t going to make it, my first thought was to drop out. I’m glad I didn’t, because this game really was the one to push me. (And what do you know… I’m happy with the results and thus way more confident as a programmer!) I’m honestly not happy enough to be able to step up to the plate. Wow. Alongside programming nearly the entire game (wow! I’m still so proud of that), I also made the meat monster sprites and the cute little doggy sprites. https://www.terry-nguyen.com/games/project-four-gd9ss monthly 0.5 2020-09-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1598289331540-YJU7CSSZ6ZARCQQHRP9K/return3.PNG Games - Return into Darkness Upon return home, the player can spend the light shards on items that will help her travel faster and more efficiently.

The game’s premise is a neat mixture of things everyone in my group cared about. Those things were platforming, strategy, family, and the idea of longing. Quite a lot to pack in a game over a weekend!

It’s a little dungeon crawler that’s meant to be somewhat easy, I was sick of being on the receiving end of bullet hell bullets, so in Soul Magick, one hand gets to maneuver with WASD while the other gets to mash IJKL to smithereens to send out bullets. The enemies you kill increase your own elemental magic. This whole game was pretty much a power fantasy for me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1598292347655-37I3W8IQNVI2E81DGCYE/return2.PNG Games - Soul Magick More elemental magic means more health, which you can restore at certain shiny locations.

You proceed to meet and make friends with all your neighbors in this friend simulator by talking to and playing minigames with them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1598296383874-5JLS3022WD8PTPSH9XI2/1.png Games - Togetherment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1598296379003-9R28A3TK580VS9VHNEJE/2.png Games - Togetherment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1598296379858-JR8K5FSGN9WIM17G8Q3R/3.png Games - Togetherment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1598296379479-97A3K4C08YK4OH0280VA/4.png Games - Togetherment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1598296379050-1Z6NZPGT6ZJCAPEDKI23/5.png Games - Togetherment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1598296379800-2IKACZ4U0XP0BVRO3GQB/6.png Games - Togetherment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1598296384632-Y3MUQFKN2WB20QAJF1F6/7.png Games - Togetherment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1598296381391-JXXAF1UTO6365SWTXD6B/8.png Games - Togetherment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1598296380451-H4ASG9BIKKN94533V601/9.png Games - Togetherment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1598296381709-SQIXCZEBCHC2F0TMHR28/10.png Games - Togetherment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1598296382382-RQDJ9K50BA26QT5EVIDH/11.png Games - Togetherment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1598296381892-SMJHJSD2R94Y8QQ4YHP1/12.png Games - Togetherment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1598296383413-TGSZOVNJ4KR4J3VLO0IF/13.png Games - Togetherment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1598296382477-6C72C4VCDVEQMN6QL7BD/14.png Games - Togetherment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1598296383452-40A97IYM89IUZB06G1J3/15.png Games - Togetherment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1598296383783-LH2CM912DSCJLT21B98U/16.png Games - Togetherment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1598296384137-0LYG0YJ5GLLM1J74Z27J/17.png Games - Togetherment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1598296384889-XQVV56IR483BNF8FQVQ7/18.png Games - Togetherment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1598296385030-FFHFM840CJLXBJO8Q9UR/19.png Games - Togetherment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1598296384504-I6CNT2RKKZV3VRLBVUE2/20.png Games - Togetherment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1598296385306-HW2PJH25W52S7KOO5DW2/togetherment.png Games - Togetherment https://www.terry-nguyen.com/games/kreaux monthly 0.5 2020-08-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1598294178923-YNFT4BXNDFP19QVHXPRS/crow4.PNG Games - Kreaux https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1598294131491-7YVGASBXWQOWUKGIXYD6/crow3.png Games - Kreaux I made this game primarily to do some practice in procedural generation.

Of course you can do this by hand, but when you have easily over 70+ objects it can be really time consuming. Material IDs on an FBX file can help out when you’re trying to texture an object in a program like Substance Painter. Objects that are really differently ID’d can help Painter’s computer eyes differentiate it from other parts after the bake, making it easier to apply visually appealing textures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1604276126830-0NB6D68IZC79Q9ZPPI1P/mat5.PNG Tools - Automatic Texture ID Applier To use it, you can just download the script down below and run it in Maya’s script editor. From there you can select all the geometry you want to assign the IDs to, and then just click a button! Woohoo! Though, we careful of big batches— know how much your machine can handle at a time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f43294a9f9f8d5592cdc4dd/1604273327907-R54DYJQHZ50GG2R6FAUW/mat2.PNG Tools - Automatic Texture ID Applier Though it’s unlikely, if you happen to have two objects touching each other and have the same material, you can select one of them and run the script again over it and everything should be fine. This was my first Maya tool. Though I’ve used Python before, I hadn’t used it in Maya’s environment before. It wasn’t too bad translating normal MEL into Python, and there’s also a few eccentricities that I had to learn. What helped me the most was its documentation. Isaac Oster’s tutorial series on Python in Maya really helped me get up to date with how it interacted with the 3D program. I also thank him for his guidance in general! Turns out I love making this stuff.
