the @machineboy.bsky.social collection is on gog for only $3.05 right now 🤯🤯🤯 totally worth it at full price, so this sale is a stupid good deal.

i love both of these games so much. they're short enough for a nice afternoon, and full of humor, love, beautiful stories, and cows in space.

WIP of a scene i created with my first character model to practice 1) making trees, 2) making rocks (i hate this and want to learn to like it), 3) keyframing materials, and 4) creating basic material shaders. character animation to come once i'm better at that.

resilience has become such a red-flag word for me, and this article is really gross.

do tell us, BBC, which previous generations have already faced endless school shootings, parents increasingly unable to make ends meet, rampant anti-intellectualism and a crumbling education system, etc etc etc.

just finished a @polygonrunway.bsky.social character tutorial and WOW rigging is way too much fun. here's my first ever posing experiment on my first ever 3d character (sorry for the dislocated elbows/shoulders lil guy), and my finished project render.

we don't need to talk about the rabbithole i fell down to get here, but i'm currently listening to deep bass acapella covers of tolkien songs and this bit of captioning is hilarious to me.

ughhh, i wish bluesky let you combine images and gifs/video in the same post. timelapse from the park scene i just posted - this is my favorite way to look at things once they're done.

my first #b3d project all on my own without help! this is a polygon runway scene, but i built it BEFORE watching the tutorials. i'm a toddler who has learned how to walk!

also not that i have commitment issues or anything but i'm all about using modifiers until someone gives me a reason not to. 😐

AI "helpers" are so absurd. 1) you should do personal things like plan events and brainstorm ideas, but also 2) everything is read by both learning algorithms and real humans so never tell it anything personal, 3) it will make things up and cannot be trusted, and 4) this is on unless you disable it.

the weekly @polygonrunway.bsky.social discord challenge theme is "chatbot", and my brain got stuck on this and wouldn't let go.

it seems like you're trying to close the chatbot window. DON'T YOU WANT HELP?!? 📎🔪

finished the diesel-punk gas station lesson in @polygonrunway.bsky.social's intro blender course. so fun, and a massive jump up in skills and confidence. built it as instructed, then made a plant city version that's more my style.

still a few steps left in this tutorial before it's time to apply materials, but i REALLY love the look of turning down the lights, leaving everything default white, and doing just the neon.

i've put ~70 hours into blender over the last 10 days. can't stop, won't stop, absolutely obsessed. i truly i can't believe i made this (thanks @polygonrunway.bsky.social). currently appreciating the look of wireframe elevations, and the milkiness of default render material ❤️

i LOVE @polygonrunway.bsky.social tutorials. was experimenting with lighting on the forest road lesson to get different times of day.

which cute forest mood are you - morning, noon, golden hour, or night?

i've gone down a hobbyist game dev rabbithole over the past couple months. first spent about 50 hours noodling in @godotengine.org, now experimenting with 3D modeling in @blender3d.bsky.social. here's a timelapse of my first project, the classic donut tutorial from blender guru.
