working on some scenery to go with the car, very simple pieces that equate to 467 polys total (the car is 380 of those) i like it but i would love feedback! i find understanding pixel size/relationship in the scene very hard with these pixel art pieces. #blender #3dart #gamedev

A car against a background of pixel buildings and foliage. There is a skybox, and a soft white light washing out the center of the scene and creating roughness on the grass.

Wow, its starting to come together...? Crazy what happens if you don't stop halfway through... pretty proud of another mouse painted piece in here! (The window background)

hiatus @kittyz3d.bsky.social · 22/07/2025

hey, it's a rare project I have a presentable wip from before I forget about it in a week! (happy with the mouse painted painting I made for the wall, mouse painting is either the funnest or worst thing ever especially when its your only option 🙃) It looks so cozy already...what else should I add??

A toon-shaded living room with a couch, coffee table with a phone, corner lamp with a plant beneath it, and a painting on the wall. The floor and walls are the same color which definitely needs to be changed.

hiatus @kittyz3d.bsky.social · 08/07/2025

Just an update I still exist and am alive, but am still waiting for a new set up (no rush its just been almost a year since i first started losing parts of it 😭) and also both my cat AND me are waiting on tooth appointments among much other life stress 💀 One day I'll return I SWEAR.

Working on finding a style for the horses, first attempt up... Still want to work on on its normal sculpt more, and playing with using noise to create the fur texture and roughness... maybe I'll try that with the yak, too! #blender #3dart #gamedesign

this took me an entire night, most of which was trying to get the transparency to work, only to realize my normals were flipped and the problem after I tried fixing the shader many times. 🙃 And then making the swirls wrap correctly almost gave me a brain injury... #blender

I’ve been making game dev videos on stylized art for a few months now. If you fancy watching some, head to the link below. Any help through subscribing, likes, views is much appreciated! #indiegamedev #art youtube.com/@petedimitrov Thank you!

A screenshot of a list of YouTube videos. They have various thumbnails featuring a stylised art tower. It’s full of crystals and magical glow. The tower is made out of stone while the background is blue. On some of the thumbnails, there is a person (that’s me). Titles read and mention things like “Start of a 3D Diorama”, “Blender and UE5 Techniques”, “Hand Painted Textures, VFX and Retopology”, “World of Warcraft style art” and more.

I made this but I am now believing that maybe a hand pump well encased in stone might be an engineering nightmare... I need to do more research or choose to explain it as ~fantasy physics~

hiatus @kittyz3d.bsky.social · 04/05/2025

Almost made a huge error and learned a fact I'm not sure I missed for 24 years, seeing cows MANY times: they don't have upper teeth!? I guess I never really thought about it. Fixing the yak's mouth with this revelation... 😭

Gonna try to rig my yak tonight.... thoughts and prayers please! 😬

hiatus @kittyz3d.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

Texturing is going very hard, lots of little fixes need to be made, and also unsure if I like this color palette: I'm not sure it makes sense for the horns, leathery face, hooves, and tail to be the same color, with a very light chest? Please give feedback if you have any! #Blender #3dart

The yak's baking is finally nearing completion, took me forever to get around to it but god I love them the closer they are to being finished! Their hair/horns normal needs some fixing up but at least it's mostly done! #blender #3dart #gamedesign

hiatus @kittyz3d.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

It took two nights of work to get a retopology down, and I'm still not 100% sure it's good, but under 5k polys is feeling pretty good!! When I finish the hair, should be no more than 6k! Hoping they turn out good....

The yak, now smooth and lowpoly, coming in at 4,746 triangles (which includes its horns).

hiatus @kittyz3d.bsky.social · 30/04/2025

Why did I forget viewport renders were a thing I've been taking the most low quality screenshots for all these wips. 😭 But I have created a staff for the herding of the yaks!

A simple misshapen wooden staff with a spiral curl at its top and some kind of crystal at its base.

hiatus @kittyz3d.bsky.social · 29/04/2025

Working all night, and I've only got the face and part of the neck retopologized... I think I need to study more in to it, I feel my retopology after sculpting is way worse than if I were to model it first then do the high poly sculpt from that.😅

hiatus @kittyz3d.bsky.social · 29/04/2025

I cannot tell if I like this for the ears or not but I need to know in order to begin retopologizing...help! Any thoughts? They're ideally meant to be fluffy like the cow referenced, and I don't think this conveys that at all.

hiatus @kittyz3d.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

I love them so much already! Maximum fluffs! Retopology must be done tomorrow for it now though...

Blockout is coming along and I think it's cute!!! Gotta detail it with lots of fluff... and then retopologize 😵

I have decided my theoretical future horse game should include herding fantasy animals. So I am making a herdable animal now.

The plate of optimized sweets is coming along!! I'm proud given that most of the texture work is just sculpting. Every texture is a baked normal or painstakingly mouse-painted/edited the best I can in GIMP or, for the donut, texture paint mode. (That was a task!) #blender #3dart

I have to go through and clean my blender work folder. I have a habit of saying 'I am not sure if I'm about to ruin everything so I should ctrl+alt+save a new version' and then I have like 10 different forms of every file in each stage taking up sooo much unnecessary space 😬

the baking practice continues, the donut has been baked! It could be less angular but I love it anyway! #blender #3dart

A donut with sprinkles and a bite out of it, baked into 197 faces/384 triangles.

hiatus @kittyz3d.bsky.social · 26/04/2025

Working on the next treat: a donut! With a bite out already but still good! Also still a wip! #blender #3dart

A sprinkle covered donut. To confirm its not a Donut Tutorial donut, it very clearly has a bite out of it and sculpted texture of its chewy interior. Though I did have to look at the tutorial again to remember how to do sprinkles.....

It just occurred to me that I'm baking a cake. Hah! (And also getting much better at it.) #blender #3dart

The cake, this time without its back icing (but still a strawberry and dallop of icing firmly at its center). The side shows its stats of 318 faces, 624 triangles.

Making this is absolutely as enjoyable as I thought it would be. 10/10 no regrets. #3dart #blender

hiatus @kittyz3d.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

I made a lot of progress on this, including that this is all in Godot with a skybox I like for now. These are the first .glb files I ever made :') However, Godot seems to be refusing my Apply All Transforms, causing squished buildings & fences that refuse to align anywhere but center. #gamedev

A simple pixel art town themed after Pokemon's art style. Some buildings appear smushed in and narrow at the top left, but overall, it looks kinda cute.

hiatus @kittyz3d.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

I adjusted the body on a moot's advice and it feels much better, and we now have a simple cliff structure that I have mixed feelings about + forgot to make inner corner faces for (so far), and pixel size control between different objects is proving to be harder than I thought..... #3dart #blender

I spent a lot more time trying to create a character model for this world (ignore its texture, i made a uv map/texture then edited it) but im still unsure. it feels too small/unfocused in the expected perspective despite its technically 'too big' from a realistic perspective. what should i do??

A rabbit character in front of a simple pixel house, but it looks itself too lean and maybe even too high poly and fluid for the very lowpoly background around it.

The desired top-down 45degree slanted camera angle intended for the game to be viewed in. It attempts to emulate an early 3D Pokemon game to some degree, but overall, the character looks very small and unfocused compared to the world in my opinion. Also, the attempt at pixel shadows is something I'm probably better off investing my time in to how it will be handled in Godot.

000

allegedly it took me two hours to make a standing grass texture and a repeating grass texture (that im still not entirely happy with but may look for a Godot-specific solution rather than waste my time on hacks that may only be good for Blender)

A small cubic house with very basic pixel textures, surrounded by grass that is also pixelated.

wow damn its only been 22 days of this officially wow, we're like... on this now. we get naturally tired and sleep by noon, wake up just fine at 8. its crazy to think just 22 days ago, i was worrying abt this change, and now it's just normal.
