I'm working on some armor for Viktor. It's my personal take on sci-fing the Romans. Currently I've finished the modelling for the helmet, with more to come! More details about it on my insta: www.instagram.com/p/Db6AOvQCLV3 #hardsurface #3dmodelling #blender #characterdesign #cycles

Three-quarter shot form the front, showcasing the detachable gas mask, along with a flexible flashlight, the set of fold-down NV goggles, and the crest, showcasing the rank.

Shot from the front, showcasing the details in the clip-on filters and the lines of the gas mask.

Shot from the back upwards. The helmet features a neck protector. A cable runs over the back between the two ear cups of the headset. A small battery pack provides power for the NV goggles.

I slept on making the Artstation post, but I finally got around to it. This is Viktor, a character design I worked on for most of last year. I highly recommend checking out the link for many more pics! www.artstation.com/artwork/zxdX32 #hardsurface #3dmodelling #blender #characterdesign #cycles

Viktor Character Design, Moritz Schlinker

Viktor is the name of a character design which I developed over the span of two semesters as part of my studies. Character design has interested me before I started this project, but this is the first...

"in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

- Is it SINCERE
- is it CATHARTIC
- was it FUN TO MAKE
- is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly"

Now I don’t have that big of a tablet (mine is between a4 and a3) and I use a non-screen one, but I enjoy my time sculpting in Blender. I'm not a real pro sculptor, so no prolonged tests over weeks, but once the buttons are mapped well it's quite nice imo

Cleaned up my HDRI Assets a little with the help of Suzanne and the not even that new function of screenshotting for the thumbnails! So good that it even remembers the area so you just press enter again and BOOM consistent thumbs everywhere! #Blender #b3d

Sculpting skin details for baking later. I was filling the scars with some basic wrinkle alpha and just drawing over some of them again with a draw brush gives pretty decent results! #blender #b3d #sculpting #characterdesign

People love to say AI is democratizing art as if art wasn't something that children and cave men did for thousands of years. Who is getting a vote on art that didn't before? "I press a button and a robot poops out a movie" isn't what democracy means.

It's SubD! I just went as hard as i could on the details and build it for use within Blender. But I guess with some work on some parts it could be optimized for that 😄

#b3d tip: 🔴When texturing edges some try to mix the RESULT of Bevel node. 🟢Instead, plug the texture in the "Radius" of Bevel node directly. Think of it this way: If nothing is plugged into socket it gives the same value throughout, BUT plugging noise tells it to use different value per-pixel.

I've been wanting to show you why this works, and I finally remember (I know!) The arm is actually easy, its really lineal, but for this to work both ends have to be aligned in rotation. This IK (Yellow bone) handles that rotation sync, so the IK in rest of the arm can work. #blender3D #b3d

Stuff from 2016. A bunch of hard surface modeling in Blender back in 2016. I remember talking to a well tutorial maker who scoffed when I said that I was using blender. He asked me "do you know that people look down on blender in the cg industry?". Today blender is widely adopted 😀. #b3d
