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

Simple lens material, but it looks quite cool! Everything here made in Blender. Credit for the material to @louisdumont.bsky.social #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.

Thanks! It being attached is actually a plus as this is how I have on my old one :D

Bart // Vertex Rage @vertexrage.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Thanks for recommendation. Was about to ask about quality, because last time I bought logitech (2x g502 hero) the quality was shit (plastic peeling off, rubber cracking, etc.). I'm uncertain about split ones, yes. Hmm, maybe I could go somewhere to try it out. How hard/stable is the palm rest?

Bart // Vertex Rage @vertexrage.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Thx. I read that their quality went down the drain unfortunately :(. Which is sad as I'm typing this on 12 year old razer keyboard...

Bart // Vertex Rage @vertexrage.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

After searching around, I'm surprised how little comes close to the old DeathStalker. Looking at Ornata V3, Logitech K280e, Razer Pro Type Ergo (pricey + unsure about split keyboards) and 3Dconnexion Keyboard Pro (unsure about the detached numpad). Any experiences?

Bart // Vertex Rage @vertexrage.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

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.

I pretty much have all the content I want for the demo at this point. Planning on releasing it by the end of September so for the next few weeks it's bug fixes, tweaks, and polish! I'll also be updating the playtest version soon with all the new content! So stay tuned! #indiegame #gamedev #darkrooms

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
