It's been a long time in the making but it's all systems go soon. What started as a catch-all for prop and environment work is turning into a nice little site.
It'll feature props, textures, and original music from me and my brother. Hopefully to help your indie projects along.

Working on something and need to surface to see if you're happy with this. What am I missing? Are you represented here?

Praising films with "absolutely no CGI" while this is on screen.
VFX artist will go down in history as one of the most shit-on professions.
When it's bad, everyone's a hater.
When it's good, people give the credit to someone else while the director and cast pretend you don't exist.

I have to brag. It's the best tool I've made. I'm excited for the narrative opportunities this opens up for my work. All in Blender.

A few small quality updates to Third Person Kit this morning! Based on user feedback I added:
- full screen toggle for controller mode
- free cam mode (tab to toggle), so you can rotate around your character without changing direction.

Small update to Third Person Kit tonight: Camera will now have collision you can enable. This is useful for confined interior spaces. It helps avoid camera clipping through walls.
You can also now zoom the camera in and out with the scroll wheel.

I think my favorite aspect of Blender 5.0 is it gets the compositor into the asset browser and allows artists to package and distribute their own compositor setups.
This opens up so many opportunities for compositing in Blender. We're going to see a lot of great tools shared.

Experiment last night. Nothing huge, but I got a quick decal scatter system out of #b3d 5.0's new scatter modifier. Not bad considering it's a single image of leaves!

Playing with the new Scatter modifier in Blender 5.0🙃. It has all the features I usually build from scratch, and it's stackable. In this scene, I used one for trees, one for large foliage, and another for grass.
#b3d 5.0 is going to be a big one.

More shots I took from one of the coolest events I've ever witnessed. These really don't do justice... Imagine a low earthy rumble as the lava hits the floor. Lava flow as far as you can see. The vent reached over 1,300 ft!

New tutorial setup! I'm sick of not having desk space, so I'm trying a single monitor approach, using a display tablet as my second.
Webcam tilts down to capture painting and keyboard POV.
Hoping this works well for upcoming texture painting.
