Ask HN: Any Artists on HN?

just out of curiosity, I wonder how many people here use Blender, Unity, Unreal or other tools, and for what purpose.

let's have a discussion :)

Are you asking for 3D specifically (based on the example you provide).

I'm not a professional, but I'm learning digital painting. I use procreate on the iPad (It's way easier than connecting the graphic tablet to my computer) and I've made some good progress recently. I learned a bit about 3D, but did not really pursue as I got interested in programming instead.

not just 3D, it's just what I'm familiar with :)

My wife uses Procreate on her iPad as well. She loves it. Only thing we find frustrating about it is the limited amount of layers, although it's my understanding that's mostly limited by iPad resources and not procreate itself.

Not sure if it counts, but I make gifs with GLSL:

I doodle, paint, use Blender, you name it. Tech and art are my two biggest past times.

I draw, paint and use blender - at the moment to make assets for a friend's indie game project made in Unity. Personally, I'd rather use Godot but the team has experience in Unity, so that's that. I may also write an ocean surface compute shader for the same project.

I guess the layer limitations is due to the iPad model. iPad pro with 6gb ram can support more layers than the other models with 4gb ram.
