5/5 LAST POST

Just the plain model renders, no pose.

AND A LINK TO THE YOUTUBE VIDEO I USED. It was very helpful. I might end up making my own honestly. So if you'd like to see that, please do let me know.

Basically lots of trial and error. And so much RAM usage. SO MUCH RAM USAGE. If someone would like, I'd be happy to share the exact values I used.

That's it for now, he's all done! Rigged, weight painted, fur-'ed. The whole shebang. Can't wait to finally make some cool scenes with him!

Back in January (woah) THIS is what I started with. My first attempt. I had NEVER done a hair/fur system in Blender before. It was totally new territory. And frustratingly, there were so few resources on how to make it.

Blender kept changing, so even recent tutorials were totally outdated.

Newly finished character drop... THIS TIME RATCHET!

Like Clank and Kit, base mesh and textures were yoinked from Rift Apart. Material work and fur was custom made though.

Man, what a learning experience doing fur was. Gonna make a thread here to talk about it.

For now, pics!

Ran outta characters. This is a rip from Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart, assembled in Blender! Texutres and model are from the game, assembling, weight painting, rigging, and node-ing the textures is harder than it seems, especially to get the look right.

HERE IT IS!

Back when I was ripping Clank, I also snagged Kit. Her character is actually the reason I got into the Ratchet and Clank series, by a random recommended YouTube video of her cutscenes from the game. So she does hold a special place haha. The model was quite fun making!

Made this a bit ago, take it as a lil taste before I share the main "showcase" poses of my R&C RA-Blender assembled model of Kit!

The end credits "thank you" scene is so adorable, and Kit's pose is so cute. So I tried to recreate it best I could with the size accurate game model.

A personal project as a bit of a change of pace. This was one of my first dives into full from scratch realistic Blender scene creations. It's of the Food Lion grocery store in Avon, North Carolina. Was trying to go for more of a moody nostaltic feeling with it, as my family used to visit here.

Back at it again with another planet thing, this time Veldin, from the Ratchet and Clank universe! Veldin is Ratchet's home planet, and the site of quite a few happenings throughout the series.

Entirely procedural materials and made/edited in Blender!

CAR MAINTENANCE WITH BLUE

A $15 headlight restoration kit was all it took to turn my headlights from yellow to almost looking brand new. Better visibility and it makes my 14 year old MINI look not 14 years old haha.

There's an alternate too haha, while I was posing GIR I accidentally made this funny surf pose. So I grabbed a model from blenderkit and made it a thing too.

GIR would totally ride a satellite.

3 goobers floating through space...

This is a heck of a crossover lol. Just a lil silly idea I imagined the other day. Made in Blender, Clank and Wheatley are from their respective games.

BLENDER ARTS FROM THE DEPTHS

Recently got into a lil PS2/PS3 game series called Ratchet and Clank. Great series, 10/10. Richard Horvitz is even in it lol. Anyways, this is Clank! Ripped from the game, and reassembled in Blender, I just lit and posed em. It was tons of fun lol

The Minecraft server PC is approaching its FINAL FORM

1U, 64gb RAM, 9th gen i9

It’s uhh… functional. That’s a word lol. Just waiting on the water cooling loop to arrive.

Don’t mind the temporary packing tape holding down the heat sync that doesn’t have any mounting hardware 🥴

Shoot there dobe a LOT of art from the backlog to post here haha. Next up, a lil gift for @xanzenith.bsky.social of their Irken OC, Xan!

Did this a number of months ago, like with Dil, Xan really allowed me to try some cool new techniques! Super happy with how she turned out too.

Gonna continue with posting old Twitter stuff. Next up, a lil gift for @chicobrrr.bsky.social that I made a few months ago. This was a model of her Irken OC, Dil!

Dil really pushed my skills, she was a ton of fun to 3D-ify. Definitely one of my favorite models to date haha.

Did a lil art trade with @/Tee_Doodles on Twitter, here's my half.

No... like... this is actually half of an Irken. This is Kitt, Tee's OC. Kitt uhh, was rebuilt after an ACCIDENT. Half of him is metal. But he's a lad though, and Tee has much lore for him. Poor, poor lad.

Here's a fun lil thing I made back in October 2022. A 3D Blender recreation of this one IZ:ETF scene!

The complete scene is actually an animation, but Bluesky doesn't yet allow videos. So here's a 4K still render! I tried hard to recreate the 2D scene and fit my 3D right into it!

ZIM MODERN ART

He is a thing of beauty. A real stud. Progress on the v2 model goes well...

My first ever true IZ Blender model, made in August of 2022. A model of The Massive.

Figured this would be a fun way to start sharing stuff. It feels so wild that I made this more than a year ago, and it still holds up today (sort of). I'ma redo it some day soon though, its needed.
