Somehow, 3d printing my sword designs turned out to be easier than getting my paper printer to print a full color page without any issues🍵

There are no shortcuts- you just gotta paint

Of course this is a very detailed example to demonstrate the point, if its just a tiny crack in a much larger texture you don´t have to go into such detail, but the general questions still apply: - is the shape appealing? - does the logic hold up? (2/3)

Sometimes I need to paint a new paper texture with BS markings first to set the mood for the following concept work. Slowly getting back into things, can´t wait to model and paint this bad boy!

Uhmm you guys we should regularly check what lists we get added to- Ive been offline for a couple weeks and this is what I came back to yesterday. Looks like it has been deleted already but this is scary. I havent consented to anything yet I was added to this list. So im being scraped regardless?

Nature documentary voice: "When making an artbook, the digital handpainting artist starts painting things like the paper background and paper strips to make it look like things are assembled on real paper. He just can´t help himself"

First look at how crafting works in my augmented reality game Dungeonsmith! (this update is about how the recipe and the material input system works, later there will be a more complex minigame when it comes to the smithing itself!) #MR #VR #AR #Indiegame

There is a certain joy in planning a grid for your projects I can´t really explain why, since its totally temporary most of the time

Pacoco @pacocoart.bsky.social · 22/01/2025

so anyways, I started painting👉👉

Pacoco @pacocoart.bsky.social · 20/01/2025

The start will ALWAYS be messy, so its important to not give up during the ugly phase of a painting project. Just keep going. Todays progress. Finally back at handpainting after so many other tasks for my thesis. Im cringing posting this, but I want to show you all the steps

I am not too happy with the chest, but the time constraint of my project tells me to move on. need more practice sculpting for sure. At the very least i am happy I figured out wood along the way, because this is how I started out😅

Pacoco @pacocoart.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

From the first blockout to todays sculpt Cant wait to jump into texturing, but first I need to retopo the 40 seperate pieces. I wonder how many different UV Layouts I should make for them, pretty sure I cant fit all of them on one 2K texture (theres many pieces inside too)

Would you play a Dungeon Crawler inside a treasure chest you can place on your table? Dev update- started prototyping the character movement today. You can also see how I use the free dungeon models from my quoted post #mixedreality #gamedev

Pacoco @pacocoart.bsky.social · 17/12/2024

This is just one approach, from which you should quickly iterate and try out new things. What I often do is just throw some colours on my models and see what looks interesting. Maybe a splash of dark green because there might be moss in the cracks? etc. Always experiment
