The gold trim is done. I used some some free/public domain 2D vector images (circled in red), those are not my designs. there's a little bit of free space just in case I need to add something. I'll definitely make minor adjustments, but this is ready to be used in my scene

Just a heads up I got a DM on ArtStation, where I was asked to download a .blend file and give a quote. It's a virus, even if it's just a .blend file! **Blender files can run custom python code!**

Swapped out the placeholder fire VFX I had on the radar dome for a VBD volume that @jangafx.bsky.social was very kindly giving away on their website! Still needs some tweaking (Ive never touched vbd stuff before so idk what im doing😅) but I think it looks a lot less "gamey" #gamedev #GameArt #ue5

Moth 4/12 - Brenthia #Art #SciArt
Illustration of a black and white moth in front view, legs spread out, wings open like a peacock. The far end tips of the wings, which are on top of the image, have little dots resembling eye spots lining the edges. The side wings are striped in black and white in L-shaped repeating pattern like the legs of a bigger bug.

I'm back to this and yeah...I don't think this is working. It might need revamping. It feels very uncanny. I'll make it narrower and longer, and might even get rid of the marble floor and wallpaper. This is what version control is for, right? I'll make a backup point and experiment

Character WIP Design by my friend ChocolateMoth over Cara/Deviantart I'm going for a mix between realistic and stylized, something like Pixar. Taking inspiration from Joanna Kobierska and Villiedoom's 3D work I finished the model and textures and fur material. I will do hair/fur grooming next

The Sharp Rateca Puter (1979)
The Sharp Rateca Puter. Up top, left to right: a collapsable TV/radio antenna, brightness and contrast dials, a giant speaker, a smaller speaker, and input for the tapedeck, with the play counters that were more common on the day. Face, left to right: A 4.5 inch CRT (behind a plastic guard), VHF/UHF and radio dials, channel and band selectors (TV/COMP, FM, Shortwave, and Middlewave), the "RATECA PUTER' logo on the battery gauge, AFC switch, mode selector, tape deck controls, audio controls for balance, bass, treble, and volume, and a mollyguard to prevent dials and switches from being mashed (the mollyguard being a signature of Sharp's boomboxes of the time). Face, low: the collapsable carrying handle that doubles as a stand; computer power button; slide-out chiclet keyboard based on Sharp calculators of the day, with number pad; an LED clock, clock controls, alarm controls. Right side: mic jacks, earphone jacks in two different sizes, beat cut switch, fan exhaust, DC and AC power plugs, and a printer port (!). Help I'm trapped in an alt text factory

//TW : language about suicidal thoughts I usually don't talk about personal stuff. But today is World Suicide Prevention Day. And I admit I struggle too sometimes. This article puts a lot of my thoughts in words, clearly and eloquently. I recommend giving it a read theoutline.com/post/7267/li...

I am not always very attached to being alive
Chronic, passive suicidal ideation is like living in the ocean. Let’s start talking about how to tread water.

Similarly, you can have a light with custom "baked" shadows. In this case, instead of 3 very expensive shadow-casting lights, or a simple point light with no shadows, I get the best of both worlds with just a little bit of compromise

I implemented a 5x5 convolution matrix for sharpening/edge detection. I accidentally sharpened too much and got this cool effect. I'm calling this done. I didn't make a good slime mold simulation, but I had fun with it. (as a side note C++ dev on Linux feels better to me so far than on Windows)

The only mold/bacterial growth I'm excited about. I'm thinking of making a smarter spread algorithm that's more aware of surroundings, or apply a highpass filter to reduce anything that's not an edge, to make it look more natural

I reduced the lighting complexity in this lit dome by replacing 8 spotlights with just one spotlight + a cookie texture. The potential downside is that normal details are flattened (the individual ones are at a sharper angle), but in this case it works well for me #unreal #gamedev #tip
