Mech blockout is finished! I decided to take it into Plasticity now, good opportunity to start learning CAD 😅 If you ever wanted to see someone struggle with new software, you're welcome to join me 😆 www.twitch.tv/elden_owl [ #twitch #livestream #3dmodeling #3d #hardsurface ]

Blockout is almost done. Going live soon, might do a quick pose for the mech and see what else is missing. If you have any questions regarding 3d modeling in general, always happy to help - come say hi in chat 😀 www.twitch.tv/elden_owl [ #twitch #livestream #3dmodeling #3d #hardsurface ]

I made this years ago when I felt like concepting something myself. Idea was to make an orbital defence satellite with a railgun. Stumbled upon it in my WIP projects folder. I'm by no means a concept artist but it was a lot of fun, any feedback is appreciated 🙂 #spaceshiptember #shiptember #3dart

Here is how I did the stained glass on the lamp (watching a video on how the physical lamps are made helped a lot). Found online shops selling glass, took a few screenshots to make my "virtual" Tiffany glass sheets. Used those in SP to paint on top of my mesh 🙂 [ #3dart #texturing ]

Texturing WIP. Spend a few hours painting the stained glass, stared at it so long that I can't even tell if I like it. Will see tomorrow lol [ #3dart #3dmodeling ]

Learning sculpting for the challenge. ZBrush is really hard and sculpting is even harder. I take subd modeling over this black magic that character artists are doing any time 😅 Thought this fits the "make it exist" meme lol #zbrush #sculpting #makeitexist #3dmodeling

Much happier with the lamp shade now, managed to get close to the ref! Also found this cool video, somebody recreated this "style" from scratch, it's apparently hundreds of small glass pieces soldered together 🤯 www.youtube.com/watch?v=xujK...

Kosh @kosh3d.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Working on the shade now and it's really difficult. Not sure if there was a better way but I ended up projecting parts of the reference images and then fixing the mask by hand. Lots of manual work, I will redo the current iteration since I didn't match the ref properly 🥲

Update on the challenge: got a ref board, did a blockout and working on the highpoly. Very challenging for me, first time trying to actually sculpt things in ZBrush properly. Everything is going very slow and I'm constantly fighting the software lol 🥲 but progress is happening 😅

Books I've read in 2025. 🙂 (in no particular order). "The Devils" was absolutely fantastic. I'm always looking for something new to read and as you've probably guessed, fantasy and sci-fi are my go-to genres. Any recommendations?

Stayed up late just to catch the launch live. Definitely felt like a milestone, space exploration is so freaking cool! With all the shit that is going on in the world right now, I almost forgot that news can be awesome and exciting. Humanity is capable of doing such amazing things.

Somebody asked how to approach modeling this camera unit in CAD, mentioning having poly-modeling background. Tip: you can always blockout the model in any DCC and export it to Plasticity as a reference mesh. [ #3dmodeling #breakdown #hardsurface ]

Some of my students asked about CAD modeling and I also see the questions online fairly often. So I made an info sheet and thought it might be useful, especially for people starting out with CAD modeling and hardsurface. 🙂 [ #3dmodeling #cad #plasticity #hardsurface #gameart ]
