I make 3d models and animations and stuff.
Doom scrolling is dangerous. Not in the tome wasting kind of way - okay, yes in that way too, but apparently I'm now learning shavian. Hey, did you know there's a discord for it?

I somehow went from watching videos on black holes to a new hyperfixation of learning modern runes.

Hey so...weird dream idea.

Most artists aren't very happy about the whole ai thing, right?

Couldn't we turn ai into a legal oroboros by using it to generate massive amounts of inappropriate disney stuff? Leverage one evilCorp against another?

Fleshclock. Made for a friend.

Mostly this was for testing the timelapse software. Calculations were a little off. 800ms got me a 4 minute video, so I might have to go through youtube to show it off.

It is done. Looks like bsky allows 3 minute videos. So if I'm going to sculpt for 2 hours, I need to set my timelapse app to ~800 milliseconds. Maybe tomorrow we can see how well it works.

So I wanted a timelapse of my blender work. Looked into some addons to do it and they all cost money. OF COURSE this means I instantly thought, "but I can make that!"

Queue the programming montage.

Gamejam is over. UE dev ghosted us. Shocker. I think this is the third gamejam in a row where at least one critical member just went silent. Anyway, since I have a whole house furnished, I said screwit and turned the basement into a sex dungeon. It's not like this is going into a game anyway.

Lamp. Baked to 1k textures. A little higher poly than I'd like, coming in at 204 verts, but people *expect* roundness when they see a lamp. I know it doesn't *look* impressive, but it was a surprising amount of work to get that lampshade to not look terrible.

Laptop. 14 vertices. It's fantastic.

Door. 632 verts. Not terrible. Pretty sure I could bake it down to 358 but not sure if it's worth it. Gamejam has a week left and the discord team is ominously quiet. If this were Vegas, I'd put 70% of my earnings on the game being doomed.

Man, I hate making stairs. If they're not proportioned correctly then everything else will feel *off.* Oh yeah, there's a little jacuzzi-bathtub in the background there now too. But hey, maybe now Kung Fu-Ton will have multiple stories!

I modeled a keyboard. It's 1500 verts. Then I baked it down to 300 verts but uses 2k textures. Which would be better in a game engine?

My gut says the 300, but the 2k textures have me worried. And I tried 1k, but it looked terrible.

Know what would be cool in a game?

Npc's 10 levels below you from a faction you've wronged form a raid party to take you down like you're a final boss.

Or 2 levels. However works best with game balancing.

Fridge.

It's for an apartment so I thought it'd be funny to make it the 2nd most expensive fridge on google.

With solid shelves: 1.2k verts.
With grated shelves: 6.4k verts.

Special thanks to @reedly.bsky.social for their help on the UV unwrapping.

Anyone know how to mark the seams you get from box projection? The unwrap isn't super important, but I'm still going to want to rearrange the mapping with other things. Manually selecting the seams after the fact would defeat the purpose of box projecting.

they wanted a kitchen. okay but...how big?

New couch. Mandatory terrible green texture. It's too high poly(2.2k), but I'd want to match decor before baking it down anyway, so I'd need to change the texture before baking.

Oh, and I joined a new gamejam, so probably gonna start flooding this place with creations again.

Okay, so...
Triple-A studios. They have ~100 people work for...I dunno, a year, let's say, to release a shooter.

What if we did that? As a gamejam. I see thousands of people signed up for gamejams just this month.

Talk some sense into me #gamedev community.

Whelp, found out godot I'd fundamentally broken for what I need and I no longer trust unity so I guess I'm gonna have to learn unreal. Wish they'd bring back things like publishing to html5 without having to use an older version though.

Also, I'm gonna rant in this thread to things unrelated.

I need to accept that I'm terrible at this whole social media thing. I'll post lots of stuff all at once very infrequently or just small bits and pieces like this. Occasionally I'll remember that some people might enjoy the stuff I make, but I wouldn't set your watch to it. Or calendar.

Right, so the gamejam is over. It was...an experience. I don't think I'll be accepting any pixelart positions as a 3d artist again. Anyway, here's the game. Go play it.
