These are some different versions before the final composition was set up. Originally I was going to do it with just the glowing light dots, but I realized that adding a glare to it gave it a starry effect. The final draft more or less balanced out to both of these composition shots.

Hey, y'all!

Merry Christmas! I'm sending this out early because it's technically Christmas Eve on the other side of the world already!

I made the tree and decorations in Blockbench and Blender.

[ #blender | #3dart | #minecraft | #blockbench | #3dmodels ]

Dang, it has been a while since I posted my own stuff...

Well just take this tree I am making this month for a personal project. It has grey leaves so I can alter the color in Blender.

Information on the Gundam GQuuuuuuuX gunpla shows it actually has beam sabers and a rifle of some sort too. We got the best of both, I think.

Working on making changes to my rig based on feedback has been quite a trip... this is the most recent change I added to it. Just a bit of squash and stretch for the head. Hopefully, I'll be able to release this within this year.

For my rig, I made node pasta intending to control the colors of the facial parts. Eyes, Eyebrows, Eyelashes, Teeth, and Mouth. I call this node pasta since it's not quite as messy as what some would call "nodeghetti."

The option to use a file instead exists, but this is easier to access and use.

I did an alpha test with a friend who was very vehemently wanting to mess around with it, and I listened to some of their feedback. Now the eye materials are its own material, and I have added eyelashes!

I also implemented other prior half-completed features and tweaked stuff based on feedback.

Nothing like making some other options for the rigs and delving into slightly cursed by canon Minecraft styles.

Other features that I got in this so far:

- All parts of the rig depend on one material and texture
- Optional Ears
- Solidify modifier used to make the second layer work
-Fingers

More to come in the future with this rig!

Been very busy the past few weeks. I also started making a rig. This is the current progress with it! I think it's been going quite well so far.

Still not done, though. I have some ideas I want to add to it. And then run it through some betas as well as prep a video about it.

I got a lot to do.

Decided to mess with this more and ended up attempting to make outlines via Grease Pencil to give it a more comic feel.

I feel like this might go somewhere with more experimenting.

As Halloween comes upon us, I revived an idea a friend of mine helped me do two years ago. I decided to see what I could do this time and redid the weapons with Blockbench.

Defenders of the Universe!

Enjoy a little teaser of a render project this month. These were made *mostly* with Block Bench. Blender was used for the stuff I couldn't do.
