Working on a new hylomorph... She doesn't have a name yet...

A coloured sketch of a humanoid hylomorph clad in a yellow shell (armour) with a darker under-layer visible at her joints and in the crescent shaped gaps of her inner thighs. Her skin, which is only exposed through her face and abs, is of a light unsaturated blue complexion.

Grayscale sketch from a drawpile session. She is holding a shield and includes a view of her back. She is accompanied by her companion, another hylomorph but one who bears the body plan of a sword.

Been working again on a friend's kigurumi eye displays and thought I'd share what a full expression cycle looks like. I chose to go with an SDF centric approach as this makes smooth transitions and animations super trivial. Getting this to run well on the Pi Zero 2 W was a pain but we made it work.

Asterisk loses his nose by my friend Veesjan at www.tumblr.com/beesgav The character 208 belongs to her, and Strega to @appleheck.bsky.social

"I'm missing my nose," Asterisk said, "it's very important to me. Can you help me?"

"I have a big nose. It helps me smell lots of things," 208 replied, "I haven't seen your nose around, though."

"Hello," Asterisk said to the robot in the tree.

"I'm looking for my nose, have you seen it?"

"Hi, I'm Strega," the robot said, "and I haven't seen any noses anywhere. I've never had a nose. Would you like to be friends?"

"I would love to be your friend," Asterisk said, "will you help me look for my missing nose?"

Insane art of Hemi by my friend Ichizu, absolutely incredible work!! (The lad receiving the emergency chiropractic adjustment is Theo, who belongs to @neonthoth.bsky.social)

My character Hemi landing a downwards kick on Theo, destroying the ground beneath them. Hemi has his various thrusters engaged.

This is the sketch that directly lead to me making the Hemi model, I like the vaguely displeased look on his face

She can do a little flex...

What she looking at on her phone??

Modulo squinting at her phone screen, well it's probably not hers but she is holding it.

Totally neglected to share that I've been working on and off on a model of Modulo

It reminds me of Dragan Bibin's works, especially this piece (www.draganbibin.com/the-human-co...)

My buddy @appleheck.bsky.social and I were reading through Luke Ahearn's book on 3D game texturing and we came across maybe one of the scariest visuals to grace a pdf

This screenshot shows a pdf page with a solid white background, and a door frame in the foreground, the contents of the doorway is pitch black. The caption reads "Figure 6-44. Your frame and inner frame should look like this."

Apparently I never followed up on that, whoops! Anyway, here it is. Driver expressions are exported into a simple bytecode format that is then evaluated on a rudimentary stack machine.

Asterisk by the insanely skilled @gemlad.bsky.social! His design has changed a bit since last time. His feet are no more! #oc

Colour coding by these values more clearly reveals their influence on the triangle strips #modding

fendroid @fen.zone · 13/07/2025

Been reverse engineering the model format used in Onimusha Dawn of Dreams, it's rather straight forward except for this segment. It seems to influence the connectivity of triangle strips but I'm not quite sure how. They resemble 16bit half floats but these values would be quite small. #modding

You can't see it but he actually has a mouth tucked under his chin! Here's a demonstration

Behold... THE PI NEST. On the left is my Raspberry Pi 5 which is for general use, it's my git server, and backs up my stuff. The Pi Zero 2 W and Pi 4 are for a specific project I'll be sure to yap about at a later date.

Some monstrosities from my skinning adventures

I've been working on an asset inspection and validation tool for my rpg project and just last night managed to implement dual quaternion skinning!

So mesh skinning is going well

Changed Asterisk's eyes to no longer bulge out by flattening the irises and capping them with an inverted cornea.

He got bit by a radioactive cat

Simplified his eye shader to no longer use any procedural texture nodes, here's what my implementation looks like now

fendroid @fen.zone · 01/02/2025

Changed Asterisk's eyes to be shader-based instead of using shape keys, and gave him some eye dilation bones as a treat!

fendroid @fen.zone · 20/01/2025

Here's the least flattering one by far.

It's dangerous to go alone, take these bonus renders.

fendroid @fen.zone · 20/01/2025

Since the last post about my model of Asterisk I redid most of his body except for the gauntlets and greaves. For the spirals running down his limbs I used Blender's grease pencil to sketch 'em out before cutting them in. #art #oc
