Hiya, I'm Nostalgia Ninja!
I'm a 3D artist who enjoys making low-poly models in Blender, and am learning to create my own game. I play a variety of games, but Puyo Puyo Chronicle is my favorite. I work late week nights, and stream games and art over the weekend

I'm scared for what will happen next to my model. I'm stripping my emotions out and starting with ARKit blendshapes soon.

Blender is *terrifying* and wonderful at the same time:
Terrifying because at first you're like "wtf do I do"
Then wonderful as you learn its workflow and do things with it
and terrifying again when it is capable of fixing your fuck ups with functionality you never knew you needed. :D

I love that the tris to quads algorithm agrees with me on how to remove the triangles and which ones to keep, but every time I use tris to quads and triangulate, it terrifies me how the topology calculations are kept smooth no matter what.

iOT and Smart Devices in shambles thanks to all of this. No one is safe.
I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

I fixed my proportions, and learned about UV Grab, Relax and Pinch tools in the UV editor workflow. Pretty happy with how this came out. #blender3d #3dvtuber #3dart

Oh boy this one was fun. Little bit of a doozy at first but once you figure it out it just falls into place.

This one time, I had an incredibly polite dickhead ask me to boost (repost) my own work less, explaining that he really appreciated all the other people I repost, so he'd hate to turn my reposts off.
I animated this and started reposting myself twice as hard.

I've got most of the character set up right, but now I realized something a bit late. The arms are a bit too short ^^'

Woke up to another job rejection from a position I interviewed for. I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do. I'm trying my hardest and I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do. Even a few bucks will help. #MutualAid #HelpSky

@heytibo.bsky.social This is out of the blue, but I've been inspired by the FossFighters posts, and I've started theorizing how you could normalize damage across a potentially inf number of source mascots and OCs by building a character profiler, including setting up hitboxes and control mapping.

Playing with the result of what I did today with my character model, and feeling pretty good about it. #blender3d #3dart #3dvtuber

Before and after of the Specular Map. I still have a lot to learn, but this feels pretty nice to work with. My character pops more and the principled BSDF feels right now. #blender3d #3dvtuber #3dart

Made some progress on the Ambient Occlusion. It's subtle, but feels like putting AO on gives it quite a pop. #blender3d #3dvtuber #3dart

Isn't Youtube also protected by Section 230? Shouldn't Google be lobbying against this so that they don't get held liable?

If you live in the US, call your fucking representatives and tell them that repealing Section 230 is a horrible idea. If Section 230 is gone, you can kiss Bluesky goodbye.

Started with a Ambient Occlusion bake from Ucupaint. There's some things that need to be tweaked, so it's going to be a busy day for me to clean up the model the way I like. Half of this AO map is going to be carefully erased. #blender3d

The world isn't a black and white slate, and I'm sick of the Internet thinking they can get away with treating it that way.
Media literacy and understanding of personal intent are the biggest two factors that have been bothering me as of late that I've chosen to step away for a bit.
It's too much.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

I really am getting fucking exhausted of people obsessed with "jumping ship". Constantly at the edge looking over for an excuse to do the "morally/ socially correct thing" and disregard any other context. It's like hustle culture but for winning at a morality game.
