Tried out #blockbench, and yeah, I see now why people prefer it over tools like #blender. The limited editing features let you think much more about how to approach your idea, and eventually give much better "pixely" results.

Here is my result, texturing needs improvements 😅

Here is the building I used as a reference.

Also one thing about geometry nodes, I feel like a lot of often used more advanced features are a bit missing. Sure, I can built everything on my own, but I am not so much into that crazy math... In my case it was tesselation
a building with a restaurant inside in Cambodia, Kratie. it is made with a concrete framework, and walls made out of roof tiles.

Today a #blender geometry node setup! I tried to replicate a house I saw, but not with tedious manual modeling, but in a procedural non-destructive way. I will work on it a bit more, and I think it can be flexibly used for a lot of things, lets see...

Image of a street in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. There is a lot of still blue sky visible. In the middle is one bright white point.

... but sadly also eats a lot of performance. I would say on my laptop its not manageable...
(I really need to get a new one)

Here is a recording of my experiment, it seems my topology was not good enough, so it the brush strokes didnt wrap all around the model...

Riverside, Phnom Penh, people watching over the river Now already some boats are preparing on the river, the riverside is very crowded The boats go upwards for their starting position Watching seats for foreign tourists

Here is the original photo and a look behind the scenes :)
Original photo, taken in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. A small street with graffiti on the walls, dirt on the floor and a filled trash container. Blender 3d viewport of the scene. The geometry for the walls and floor (where the photos are put on) is very simple. Only the trash container and some vegetation and small props is more detailed.

First time doing something like this. I took a photo around here and modelled it into a 3d scene with #Blender.
What do you think? Feedback appreciated! :D

Finally I have enough to post a full render. Looks still a bit empty though...
I modeled it with references to common street food places here in #cambodia

When your computer is so underpowered that you are forced to play everything with pixelart graphics:

Recently did some experiment with modeling (lowpoly) + pixelart in #blender + #pixelorama + #godot
and wow, translucency is hard, this looks pretty buggy in godot. probably sorting issues. And it seems blender eevee has the same problems.
