More testing of our city street tile set. Its one thing to lay them out in blender, but to really see if they work you gotta get it in engine and let the rubber meet the road!

Super excited to share my second commission with the EXTREMELY talented @ncc-60205.bsky.social! 🤩
The concept is a New Republic fleet circa 6 ABY. Disarmament is underway, but so is the effort to produce more peacetime oriented designs like the Defender-class.
Home One and the Unity at center. 😉

I'm not big on tutorials, so I made a blender file with 10 stages of my Akira class modeling process available on my Patreon.

“Abolish ICE” is literally the MODERATE position in America today. Not even the position Schumer’s constituents are demanding. The MODERATE position is “abolish.”
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.

Senate Democrats plot strategy as DHS standoff deepens heading into shutdown week
Two sources who were on a Democratic caucus strategy call Sunday said Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told the group the message must be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups.
Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight.

Heres a peek at what our levels look like early in the design process. Working out scale, metrics and what feels 'right', we can get a sense of all those things using very basic geo.
Its also very quick and easy to make changes, then play again. Iteration is key!

Puffin- and Penguin-Class Starfighters
The 23rd-century carriers and fighters exhibit at the Starfleet Museum feature two main variants: the older, fusion-powered Puffins and the newer antimatter-powered Penguins.
The museum has extensive text on their development and use.

Alrighty - my final update on this shot for now! Tons of revisions and fixes, as well as new Music SFX and VO. Added the welders welding, a few more work bees, the Arges in the background, and some changes to the lighting angle.
4K in the 🧵!
I hope everyone likes it!

Still playing around with Blender 5.0 but I did several tweaks to my post-processing pipeline, and I decided to re-render images in 1440p instead of 1080.
This'll obviously take a while as I have nearly 500 renders to do... I'm sure there's an option to […]
