The basic bot is basically done. Below Cycles vs Eevee renders. I love how fast Eevee is, but Cycles looks just so much better... Everything made here in Blender, but I wonder if I should repaint the bot in Painter or Toolbag 🤔 #b3d #blender3d

Baseline material (made in Blender) vs it's roughness mask for the basic bot. #b3d #blender3d

Plastic material with multiple masks for roughness, scratches and dirt.

Keyboard question: I've been using a Razer DeathStalker Essential since 2014 and I really like it, but it's showing its age. Any recommendations for a replacement? My main requirements are flat/quiet keys and a solid integrated palm rest.

Age-old modular kit question: where do you place walls relative to the grid: in the middle, inside, or outside and why? Same question for floors and ceilings. #GameDev #EnvironmentArt #LevelDesign #ModularDesign

Been touching grass a lot more lately. Naturally, I couldn't resist taking photos of various things. Now I'm testing how to turn them into materials. This is the first result using Affinity and Substance 3D Sampler. #3DArt #GameArt #Blender3D #Materials #Textures #b3d #indiedev

I've not seen it used much, but @aimeecozza.com made those cool looking "human made" logos. I think it's worth using them for 100% human made art. Here's a link to them: www.aimeecozza.com/human-made/ #NoAI #Art

I'm finally going back to this project. I love the retro / PSX aesthetic with low texel density. Going for a small environment now, straight from the 1990s. #3DArt #GameArt #GameDev #EnvironmentArt #Blender3D #RetroTech

Got an hour to spare today or tomorrow? Leave some kind comments on things you enjoy. Tell a developer they're doing a great job, or let an artist know their work is incredible. It can make a big difference in someone's day, trust me.
