Dogwasp @dogwasp.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Not currently, I might do some alternate renders after spaceshiptember is over though. 000
Dogwasp @dogwasp.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Something like that, though I imagine the pellets are primarily providing the propellant and the energy comes from another source. It's inspired by the wind-pellet shear sailing concept. 030

Dogwasp @dogwasp.bsky.social · 17/05/2026The basic setup for this sort of shader is diffuse->shader to rgb then use something like colour ramp to get a hard cut off and multiply the result with the object's colour/texture. I also use a separate glossy->shader to rgb to get the highlight and some reflection mapped noise for the metals. 110
Dogwasp @dogwasp.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Personally I use a setup like this (the duplicate elements node is only needed for older versions of blender). The corners are a bit janky but I find it's usually good enough. 041
Dogwasp @dogwasp.bsky.social · 24/09/2025#SST25 Day 20: Ruins A once prosperous station that succumbed to fascism shortly after the waking. They lasted unusually long for a fascist state, surviving almost thirty years, before attacking their neighbors and being destroyed in the resulting conflict. 03910
Dogwasp @dogwasp.bsky.social · 16/09/2025#SST25 Day 16: Spy An Imperial ELINT ship in the outer belt. Crews hate being deployed this far out; the transmissions from nearby asteroids are a constant reminder of what is hibernating beneath the ice all around them, and some crew members even claim to hear voices calling to them in the static. 0497
Dogwasp @dogwasp.bsky.social · 12/09/2025#SST25 Day 10: Convoi Ships of the Imperial Terraforming Company transfer indebted workers off an asteroid before it crosses the imperial border. Keeping their operations just outside imperial space allows them to avoid even the minimal protections provided to citizens of the imperial periphery. 0224
Dogwasp @dogwasp.bsky.social · 11/09/2025#SST25 Day 9: Sensors A resupply ship arrives at the system's interstellar radio receiver. The accompanying transmitter was destroyed in the waking, but a few volunteers continue to man the station, listening to the increasingly rare transmissions from Sol attempting to re-establish contact. 0222
Dogwasp @dogwasp.bsky.social · 10/09/2025#SST25 Day 8: Spaceport Port Artemis, the empire's regional capital for the inner belt. Many were initially optimistic about the Imperial presence, but priorities soon shifted, and the people of the belt found their resources drained to terraform a faraway world they would likely never see. 0233
Dogwasp @dogwasp.bsky.social · 04/09/2025#SST25 Day 4: Support Small inflatable skiffs are a common sight on many kinds of ship. Providing a cheap and lightweight option for transferring crew and cargo that can fold down to under a metre in length when not in use. 05111
Dogwasp @dogwasp.bsky.social · 03/09/2025#SST25 Day 2: Starbound/Guns, Guns, Guns! A fight breaks out around an abandoned starship, one of many which once brought travellers and technological wonders from across known space. Its most valuable parts were salvaged long ago, but there are still many willing to fight over what's left. 37918
