Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 is absolutely gorgeous. So much that it inspired me to start this 40k-themed realtime environment in Blender. What do you think??

Thinking I might stream this 40k-inspired environment I'm working on in Blender tomorrow afternoon-ish Berlin-time. I require moral support to get it finished.

Here's one of the failed attempts at recreating Elden Ring's tornadoes using shell texturing. I think with some motion blur on top this solution would look amazing but it wasn't quite the look I was after so I moved on to the solution you see in the video.

The frets polish up really nicely. Not sure what material they are, maybe brass?

I cut and shaped a new nut to replace the old broken one. It's far from perfect but at least this one has the correct number of holes.

Nut is broken so I'll be replacing that. This guitar also has a 0th fret! Very cool.

Made by Musima Markneukirchen in the German Democratic Republic. Interestingly written in English, not sure why that is.

My partner brought this busted old GDR-built acoustic home from the kindergarten where they work, and I'm going to see if I can make it playable again. Wish me luck!
