Made this robotic arm for #hmp03. Simple SubD workflow and the rigging was basic parenting with object origins at the pivot/swivel points.

Here's a #Quarto template for overlaid funnels made with #ECharts4R in #RStudio.

Here's a sunburst chart template using #ECharts4r 's e_sunbust() function. Some extra tweaking in the tooltip using #JavaScript producest a compact and easy-to-follow presentation for a smooth and visually-interesting experience within #Quarto documents.

The radar/spider chart is the latest entry in the #ECharts4R #Quarto templates series. For more control/interactivity, I introduved a dropdown menu via #HTML and additional #JavaScript.

There's quite a variety of bullet charts out there, but it's not a function found in #ECharts4R. I created these two templates to demonstrate the different ways they can highlight performance.

Making candlestick charts was relatively straighforward. Got to borrow the chart linging method from my other template. The most challenging part was the tooltip because it was javascript-heavy. Great result though.

Adding more detail in calendar charts through #echarts4r took some mixing and matching using different examples on the #ECharts site. I like being able to see the day numbers and using the piecewise legend bin. The #quarto template is in my growing respository

Creases are changing my life. It's so silly because I always associated them with the current workflow combining them with the remesh mod. My old PC can't even do it with smaller simpler pieces, so I stuck with SUBD via support loops. This is a lot quicker and here to stay.

Started using creases instead of support loops with the sub-d mod and really liking it.

Also had to reconstruct the cylinder in the middle so the number of sides were an even match of 3.

The base geo for this one was on the minimal side, so I doubled-up and joined elements together.

Here are some recent additions to my #fotj basemesh set. The idea it was to make more out of every modeling project I was working on my extracting geometry I though was interesting or resembleed the beginnings of something else. Here's a timelapse from the previous batch:

Day 9, developed the handle and dpad area. swapped out a #ngoma sticker for an embossed finish on the polycarb. It's fun again.

Day 8, formed the handle a bit more. Spent most of the time adding polycarb covers to the control area near the screen. Winding down.
