The @theathletic.com claims Lynn invented Claw-dia but the true story is that one absolutely deranged fan (me) invented and has been building that brand for the best US keeper for years. Please put in the papers that I am annoyed. A thread... #nwsl www.nytimes.com/athletic/721...

For some reason, I wanted to animate one of those impossible shapes spinning. Although I didn't completely smooth it out, I enjoyed experimenting with it. #b3d #blender

I thought I'd give sculpting a shot, so here's my first attempt at creating a human head. Not sharing how long it took, but I definitely enjoyed the process! #blender #b3d

Whelp. I fell down a Mixbox (pigment-based color mixing) rabbit hole. Along the way, I learned about OSL and then had too much fun making this. #b3d #blender

I've been experimenting with modifiers to create bowls and modify STLs for 3D printing. When exporting STLs from Blender, the units seem to be off, but I've found that sticking with Blender's default unit of meters and treating it as millimeters seems to work for my slicer. 🧙 #blender #b3d

I'm currently making my way through the core courses at CG Cookie. Even though it covers some familiar ground from a previous course, I'm amazed at how differently I'm absorbing the information this time around. #b3d #blender

Printing calibration tests can be quite satisfying. It's always fascinating to see how much overhang a printer can take. #3dprinting

TIL how to use Freestyle a bit more because it seemed to be better set up for 'drawing through an object' than Grease Pencil. 🤷‍♀️ #blender #b3d

Thought it would be cool to layer two different images on top of each other, offsetting the stripes. This is a first quick test with a cube and a sphere. #b3d #blender
