My tumblr is back!
After 4 years of not having access to it, I finally have it again! With Twitter being a bit wonky lately, I figure it’s good to dust it off and put it to use. I’m unsure how many people are using it now, but I guess we’ll find out soon. I’m still uploading stuff from…
Water rendering tutorial
Recently I was asked to make a tutorial on water rendering, so I spent some time making one. It’s not exhaustive; It’s mainly aimed at rendering drops and streaks of water, but I think that’s usually what people mean when they ask about this. If you want to convey sweat, or like the character is…

Kuro’s favorite things in 2021
2021, also known as 2020 part 2. Could’ve been a better year, but there were still plenty of things to salvage it. This list goes into my favorite finds. Sadly a category that’s woefully underrepresented this year is videogames, and that’s due to the hand pain I’ve had. Hopefully this year I get better and…
