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...

Some orbs just need to be drawn on. #b3d #blender

Thanks! Yeah -- I wanted a more interesting spin than a flat rotation. I may play with the drawing over to see where that leads. Thank you for the ideas!

I tweaked the mesh frame by frame (increasing height of the front leg, pushing the back leg farther back) as needed to keep the seam touching. No idea if there was an easier way. 😅

It’s an orthographic camera (axonometric) with a seam. I’m using the Blender Paradox Toolkit add on (github.com/matgarate/Bl...), flat shading with grease pencil line art.

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

That’s fair. I think both the nose and the mouth were quite a struggle for me 😅

Thank you!! ❤️ It took awhile of fussing with it, but I’m happy with where it ended up 😊

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

And if you are like me and didn't know anything about Open Shading Language for Blender, I found this 6 video tutorial series to be extremely helpful: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaOM....

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

It was a mix of tools. Playing with the various tools to try and learn the options. Started with some cloth filter, and then some freehand sculpting on top to refine. Thank you!

Working on some floor cushions for my classroom scene and sculpting with the cloth filter in Blender is quite enjoyable. #b3d #blender

Just tried my hand at creating the Hugging Face emoji using the topology techniques I've been learning. Let's just say it's a work in progress! 😅 #b3d #blender

Prusa slicer. I have a prusa mini printer so it was what I started with and has worked well enough for me. How about you?

Awhildy @awhildy.bsky.social · 05/10/2024

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

In just 11 days, our house will be filled with 15 energetic 5-year-olds! We've planned some exciting activities, like playing "firefighter." I love how easy it is to devise fun ideas and print them out in no time. #blender #b3d

Thanks! I need to play more with my printer calibration to get a slightly cleaner print. It's been a good test. Thanks for sharing the model! 🙌
