Low poly cat

To understand what's happening in Iran today, you have to know about the history of Western intervention in the country.

In the early 1900s, the British secured oil rights in the country until 1993, where they only agreed to pay Iran 16% of the total profits.

This was seen as an unfair deal. 🧵

Unbelievably useful to see how shows move from concept to screen, esp. how writers frame characters within their settings.

Remade a Jackbox t-shirt that was born a week or so ago because it spoke to me.

Most of my bluesky posts and projects are things I spend hours, weeks or months researching but the most popular one is the rat I did in twenty minutes waiting for breakfast where I didn't even properly loop or center the camera. Need to commit to that wabi sabi grindset

learning that you are also a good modeler has felt like seeing Wayne Gretzky walk onto a basketball court and sinking a 3 pointer with his eyes closed

okay

The eyes are so expressive! Are the irises floating planes that are tracking to the camera? I don't think I've ever seen that technique with pixel art eyes, whenever they're not moving it just looks like they were hand drawn there 👀

finished vtuber model for VampireMavy! Thank you for trusting me with your character!

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

I recommend Grant Abbitt as well as a great blender learning alternative to the donut tutorial, his courses tend to be very well done and easy to follow along

just a quick reminder that the donut tutorial guy was big into NFTs and now he's shilling for AI.

joey carlino's getting started is still my favorite quick-guide. it's getting a little out-of-date, but the basics are still the basics:

A wave sim like this is actually stupid easy to setup in blender btw

if I had learned about vertex painting earlier it could have saved decades of my life. the hardest part of texturing manually is figuring out where the highlights and shades should be, and you can just paint them on the model!!!

yes, the wheels of justice are slow. agonizingly, excruciatingly slow. and oftentimes they miss or go off the tracks entirely. in fact most of the time. but occasionally, very infrequently, that big wheel of justice delivers theoretical remuneration for a handful of vested business interests

"Isometric games don't exist" is a guide with 40 detailed charts about perspective in videogames.

It teaches you everything about isometry and what all the other game perspectives & projections are and how they work.

You can download it for free on my itch page

I made this little demo in a few hours today just to see if I could achieve the sort of, midcentury off-kilter background art vibe.

They're just very simple geometries with some grease pencil, which has a subtle noise modifier on it.

Main character face texture sheet from Megaman Legends 2

Face sprites for lowpoly characters! Megaman Legends style, just some simple expressions in a row you could animate the UVs for to prototype models. Even just a set of simple :) type expressions in a grid to draw over could be handy!

lowpoly character with a dramatically popped collar

the collar grows to extraordinary lengths

Working in lowpoly is an exercise in condensing a character down to their essentials and only having the most important details. For example, only giving your clothing exactly two bones that can make the collar pop to increasingly unsustainable degrees

messing with dithering and palettizing again, the main idea being applying the dither to not just a linear ramp, but to all dimensions of the colorspace at once
