we're up to blender 5.0 now? yay but also omg where have i been...still on 4.4 😭

hiatus @kittyz3d.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

in fairness i think it is random alternate heights for visual clarity not ranking them any higher or worse (other than good and bad versions) 😩

hiatus @kittyz3d.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

You're joking. Idk if I am hallucinating I've had this the whole time bc maybe I saw it in a tutorial or in a custom animation rig setup I used, or plainly mistook it being in Godot as being in Blender too, but I had to load it and confirm this isn't default behavior lol. Got it now, thanks!

Thank you !!! The trees are kinda throwing me off, they feel a bit detailed compared to the rest so maybe if I fix them they'll crunch better.

What version do we like best? V1 No Composite, V2 Posterized, V3 Pixelated + Posterized I think I like the first two more, any feedback appreciated! #blender #3dart

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.

Thank you so much!!! My proudest moment is all five buildings sharing 1 128x128 map and really making the most out of even one texture map. I'll hopefully test movement later today.

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.

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.

Thank you so much I'll check it out! Really appreciate it!

This is beautiful! What is this kind of material making called/do you know any good tutorials for getting in to it? Would love to learn more but not even sure what to search 😅

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... 😭

010

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

Thats a good point, I even had a non-wacom screenless tablet that worked just great, I just ended up wanting better, so it's an option. But then I'd be left with that (still costly) 'stepping stone' when I inevitably upgrade and going through trying to sell/donate it to someone 😅 Its a dilemma

010

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

And honestly, I'm very worried because I don't want to invest in another iPad. I just want a wacom, but that relies on the power of the PC, and can the 12 year old dell handle it? Bc if not, then I have to wait even longer for a better computer too...

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

I may try another tackle at the texture but I'm hoping I can just feel comfortable in this project that I can gather all these meshes, ready for everything except their texture, and then chip away at painting them when I finally have better tools to :')

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

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

People do not talk about that part enough, it really is so hard! If you find any tips on how to get better at it please let me know, I'd appreciate it 😅

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

Thank you! I appreciate it, didn't even consider multicolor horns were an option lol.

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

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

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

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....

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.

010

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

Ahh thank you!! I'm going for a cartoonish fantasy style, the yak is heavily inspired by the Druffalo from DAI, but the game is to be stylized like Wizard101/Star Stable Online style. I don't have a lot texture painting ability right now because of my set up so I try to find work arounds meanwhile😅
