"AITS_anim1_animaticv2" The first version that we'll mainly work with for now. I know it's not the best, but it's the first, so it's the basis that we'll build on top of :3 Music and SFX provided by Epidemic Sound #animatic #alliesinthesystem #storyboard

I'm incredibly busy lol Switching to the emergency ambulance soon, hiring new people, working on a mini show prior to PR, office, funding... It's insane what's going on at the moment. I can't even keep up myself xD Just today I worked on an Art Style Guide. No clue what and how important it was ^^'

I either need a fat upgrade, or increase my efficiency because 200 frames taking 2 hours in such a simple scene is crazy lmao

PlaytestDS @playtestds.bsky.social · 26/10/2025

Worked on this simple mech throughout a week packed with wörk x) I also finally framed my signed Knights of Guinevere poster :D And as a final note, I found out Storm HydroFX got a free beta, for everyone interested in fluid simulation in Blender and Co :3 storm-vfx.com/hydrofx/

What 53 hours (actually 80) of Blender do to a mfer. Also rendering this made my PC shit itself, logged me out of everything, reset every browser and cookies settings and required a reboot before working properly again lmao. Off to the next applied courses :3

PlaytestDS @playtestds.bsky.social · 13/10/2025

Bro this thing has 2 simple materials with a simple Principled BSDF shader node each, just different roughness values, and already looks pretty decent. Fuckin crazy...

4 hours so far, shaping up slowly but surely. A great final project to utilise the most useful things you need in your workflow

PlaytestDS @playtestds.bsky.social · 11/10/2025

Yeah the course I'm taking on Udemy is called "The Blender 2.8 Encyclopedia" and covers literally anything within Blender. Curves is another one of those crazy tools that are so incredibly useful

020

PlaytestDS @playtestds.bsky.social · 11/10/2025

Boosted through Blender's render engines. Now it's onto the final course project. After changing to Win11 cuz' I don't wanna pay for more updates, and I don't have the balls yet to switch to Linux x)

Happy (late) birthday to #TeamFortress2, the game that changed my life and opened opportunities, created friendships. I've been part of this community for a decade now, of the jump community for 7 years, played ETF2L, and over the last 3 years started seeing my TF2 friends irl. Thank you ❤️

PlaytestDS @playtestds.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

I has created carbong foibah. However, being almost done with the Node section, it will take me a while to get used to the endless possibilities and how to utilise everything properly. Like...this was all made within Blender, just using Nodes. Fuckin goated program...

I can now create realistic walls 🥳

Been a while since I touched SFM Finally finished this artwork that's been sitting there for months now. For comparison the predecessor. Both are heavily inspired and influenced by Arcane's promo art ^^

Going the next step tomorrow evening. Meeting up with a company that's going to give our group a face, so we can finally share our work with a proper identity. GpmB Studio won't be a simple name anymore, but an official construct of friends sharing the same passion. Looking forward to it :D

Aaaaaaaand we're off to 20 hours of Armature Skeletons and Rigging Lectures......

This shit is so fucking cool :D I also rawdogged all modifier lectures yesterday within 3 sessions, 7 and a half hours in total. I...really should go touch some grass

Uiiiiiiiiiiiii Curves are way too scary. They can do so much...so...much... Like, I don't even know how to implement such complex magic in my workflow. But when I do, god forbid I'll be unstoppable muhahahahaha :3

I've got a collection of merch of shows and movies that inspired either my own stories or motivation to work on stuff. Arcane really had a heavy impact on my motivation and story telling, thus I just had to 😁 Thanks @rocklovejewelry.bsky.social I absolutely love it and greetings from Germany!

I do an incredible amount of background work these days, especially script wise. Some time ago a friend asked me, if I wanted to write lore for a main character of his animations. Can't show much yet, but the feedback was very positive and I'm eternally grateful for the opportunity.

Wörk in Prögress I had the urge to do something with my creative energy, so I decided to make a small animation out of my original poster idea. Not too much movement, however, enough to make it ineresting C: #sfm #sourcefilmmaker #digitalart #animation

Back at it again with working on artworks for our YT shorts series :>

PlaytestDS @playtestds.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

Damn been a while. Stuff's gone work-wise really busy. That on top with so many projects I work on simultaneously, kinda hard getting any viewable progress out. YT shorts series, an artwork dedicated to a friend of mine who passed away, scripts, etc. I'll hopefully be able to show something soon :)
