Making da Earf, have a lot of projects right now asking me for seeing Earth from space so just making a dynamic setup to reuse and stylize. 😍 #b3d #blender #3dart

Spaceshiptember 10: Creative Freedom The Recovery Operation Commander looking out at the wreckage of the "Hillstorm". She served as one of the head mechanics 12 years earlier when it was lost in combat. Resource scarcity has driven a need for more scavenging operations. #b3d #SST26 #sst2026

A middle aged woman looks out a window. In the reflection a wreckage of a large spaceship floats, surrounded by debris.

Spaceshiptember 09: Scavenger Often called "Slingshotters" in salvage operations. Tether Pilots operate in two person crews (Pilot, and wire operator) to harpoon salvage, than move and throw into the catch bay of the recovery hauler. A job known for it's high risk and high pay. #sst26 #b3d #sst2026

An icy planet with a large spaceship wreck floating in front of it. A smaller vessel is flying, pulling a large piece of debris behind it attached with two tethers.

Spaceshiptember 08: Destroyer Telemetry analysis after the destruction of the "Queens Arrow". Updated ordinance for disrupting synth processing units proved ineffectual for disruption. Synth fighters still possessed independent processing after central systems were disabled. #b3d #sst26 #sst2026

Spaceshiptember 07: Conversion Only seen once, the vessel codenamed "Leech" appears to harvest asteroids, and break them apart to convert to fuel in transit. The fastest non-natural entity yet recorded. Source and destination unknown. (Thanks to my wife for the great concept) #b3d #sst26 #sst2026

A large spaceship with long mechanical arms grabbing an asteroid. Lasers are breaking it apart and feeding parts to the center of the ship.

Spaceshiptember 06: Carrier "Embers Light" Heavy Duty Ferry provides rest, supplies, fuel, and entertainment for those wanting to safely cross the Helix Nebula on their way toward habitable systems. #b3d #sst26 #sst2026

A large spaceship in blue nebula with many docking bays. Smaller ships are seen flying around it and entering the bays.

Spaceshiptember 01: Launch! The SR4-V. A short range hauler primarily used for delivering durable goods between launchpads or to low orbit. Utilized @technouveau.bsky.social's fantastic kitbash kit for this first one which is a joy. #b3d #sst26 #sst2026

Another character from a previous Ludum Dare game entry finally getting the animation treatment. Voiced by the very talented Kristen McCabe. I had so much fun animating this little friend. #b3d #animation #gamedev

Been diving into to dialing in my retro cutscene vibes by recreating the same scene in different eras. Has been such a learning experience working with old renderers and really my first time into pixel art. #gamedev #retro #b3d #animation #pixelart

Finally gave the HD and animation treatment to a character I made for one of our game jams a while back. Enjoyed finally diving into doing facial animation. Thanks to Caito Aase for the fantastic voice work, and allowing us to use their likeness in the design. #b3d #blender #animation

Been breathing in the small joy and hope the #artemis has been giving me lately in this chaotic world we live in. Had to make at least a little fan art/desktop background. #blender #3Dart

The moon sitting in a sea of stars. A thin streak of light of the spacecraft flying around it.

Starting the new year with a plan with my wife to watch one movie from each of the last 100 years of cinema that we havent seen. 2 randomly picked years each week. The first weeks years are 1929 and 2015. Always happy to get recommendations. #100yrsOfMovies

Exploring retro 3D software and getting into the winter spirit with VistaPro. So much fun seeing these tools render out in high resolutions.

I always love the small moments when so many people can look up and have a shared moment of simply seeing something beautiful. A little reminder we all share this precious little space stone together.

With 'Final Destination: Bloodlines' in cinemas, here's @beforesmag.bsky.social's ode to the infamous log truck VFX in 'Final Destination 2'. I crawled through Digital Dimension’s old website to find some amazing video & info about how *that scene* was made. beforesandafters.com/2025/05/18/a...

The FEN, native to the second moon of the ringed planet, are curious and kind creatures. Their distinct fur helps them blend in with the snow and crystal caverns in which they live. A great sense of direction makes them helpful in finding cover during the frequent blizzards. #b3d #gamedev

Update on my pixel art guide for beginners: Transferred all the information from Tumblr to a Google Doc, so anyone who doesn't have a Tumblr account can now read through the whole thing! I also updated quite a bit of information too. I hope it will help somebody! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Using #nodevember to finally dive deep into geometry nodes and start stretching my knowledge there. First setup turns simple shapes into bottles with liquid of a random color and height in them. #b3d #3dart

Happy Halloween to all from spooky dungeons filled with skeletons! #gamedev #b3d #retro3d

A video game window showing 2 skeletons in a dark dungeons in a retro pixilated style. One of the skeletons is covered in vines. There's a text window that says "It's only a matter of time before you become a walking corpse just like us! The houglass is almost up!"

Download my dinner! Going to start a little something new for fun and build a free library of 3D food models. Let me know if there's any recipes you'd like to see! Webpage is coming together where you'll be able to get glb's of my meals. Link coming soon... #3d #b3d #lowpoly
