Asset Forge is a powerful kitbashing 3D modelling tool from Kenney of Kenney.nl fame. We looked at it in-depth back in April when Asset Forge 2.0 was released. Today we are revisiting Asset Forge today because Asset Forge 2.1 was released and is finally available on Mac and Linux as …
Humble are running a new bundle of interest to game developers, the Create Comics and Manga Bundle by Quarto, a collection of books on drawing, be it manga, anime or traditional styles.
Last year we took our first look at VRoid Studio, a 3D anime style character creator that had recently been translated to English. It works very similarly to Daz3D, Poser and MakeHuman, but is entirely dedicated to creating characters in the anime style. Using a simple set of sliders, you can quickly customize a character […]

One of the most prominent entries was Mixer by Quixel, which is currently available completely free while in beta form. Quixel Mixer is a PBR texture creation tool where you create textures using an easy to use layer based system. […]
