davinci photo page is cool, and I think is a real option. the workflow is definitely a bit different, but you get some raw photo tools, the effects racks, as well as access to the color page (which is some cool practice for video color grading too)

Been using the dji mic 3 on the rust conf trip. It's a nice little mic and I hope all the audio comes out well. I'm definitely stress testing it a bit recording next to loud roads. The biggest issues I've had is that if I have it off but still clipped on I can easily swipe the magnet accidentally.

Calling overloaded C++ functions from Rust today means boilerplate, traits, or uniquely-named functions for every overload. "Splat," a new experiment from Teor of the Rust/C++ Interop Initiative, is a 1st step toward making that easier. Learn more: rustfoundation.org/media/experi...

One thing I've learned is that some situations are only resolvable by letting someone make a mistake they are committed to making, then showing up with compassion later. Not everyone has the experience (yet) to be convinced of how a situation is going to play out.

Chris Biscardi @chrisbiscardi.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

two attempts at louise belcher (my first sculpt with reference). First attempt had some serious issues in the eye size and mouth shape. Second is improvement. Tried a bunch of different tools for mouth thickness but couldn't get that "cartoon consistent thickness" look for the mouth edges.

Chris Biscardi @chrisbiscardi.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

I do not know what happened in the render here and I am out of time to find out... so here's today's sculpt :scream: the matcap in nomad and the view in the blender shading tab both look fine sooooo yay. Looks like vertex color interpolation and doesn't seem to be flipped normals

I am often amazed at how fast people praise projects they're unfamiliar with. "oh look how fast that project is moving, incredible; This is so needed!" -> "yeah... it's a bug ridden unmaintainable, unusable mess nobody understands and it can't be used in production"

It's ugly and probably busted, but I have PRs open which add no_std support to Wgpu and Winit, which lets the following demo work on wasm32v1-none. bushrat011899.github.io/wasm32v1-non... The code shamelessly adapted from Wgpu and Winit's examples can be found at github.com/bushrat01189...

trying to start moving into more complex work. I don't really intend to move into hyper realism (I'm more interested in stylized work) but doing some more detailed work is good practice for working with multi-resolution. Its, uh, probably time to start using references...

today's sculpt. Has some flipped normals on the mouth ring. Not entirely sure why. Also made some use of repeating curves to place the suckers on the tentacles and did a bit of mirroring separation of previously connected topology.

continuing the trend of "creepy lil guy" sculpt. This time I yoinked it out of nomad sculpt and into substance painter for a really quick paint test. Then pushed it into blender with the exported textures

Chris Biscardi @chrisbiscardi.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Today's sculpt seems like a really stressed lil guy. TIL nomad sculpt *only* supports vertex painting, which is interesting (it can *view* textures though). They suggest exporting to say, procreate, if you want to texture paint on ipad.

280

Chris Biscardi @chrisbiscardi.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

lil character for today I'm either missing something about nomad sculpt's materials/texturing support or the color management is just not anywhere near where I want it... which is fine because I plan on doing "final" texturing in substance so maybe I'll just stick to really basic base colors

lots to be excited about in the new typst 0.15 release. Multiple bibliographies is likely an immediate win for me though, and variable fonts is always nice. Typst's docs are now using their own html export features too, which is very exciting to see progress. typst.app/blog/2026/ty...
