Enjoy the light and warmth, and let them bring you healing and solace. If you needed a sign to proceed with a plan or project, this is it. Let this energy strengthen you for the times ahead.

#Tarot card of evening: The Hermit-IX.
Take some time out to get away from the world, tune out for a while, seek some silence. Make time for silence so you can hear your inner wisdom, listen to what Spirit, or the #CosmicJoker for me, may say, blessed be the #DivineHumor.

Dæmon S.In a continuation of my #occult #Blender project trying to get to a tridimensional representation of #Lilith, I made a pair of horns, using yet another convoluted modeling workflow:
1. I started with adding a blank NURBS curve to the scene, which then I made a linked duplicate, mirrored said duplicate and proceeded to edit one of the instances (whose changes were automatically reflected at the other instance in a mirrored way). I set a fairly high resolution for the curves to render. I set up a temporary round bevel geometry to it in order to visualize the horn while I edited the curve points.
2. I subdivided the segments (ended up with ~50 points in total) and visually adjusted the points, as well as their radii (2.5 at the base, 0.0 at the tip), to roughly fit an Aries/ram kind of horn.
3. I tried to convert it to a mesh then creating and applying a swirling material, but then TIL the UV mapping doesn't work properly for things that would be deformable to a perfect cylinder (which a curve bevel geometry is) but aren't shaped like a cylinder (or I'm dumber than I think and my hyperfocused self-taught Blender knowledge is missing some important chunks of how to do Blender-ing), so I had to over-engineer, as per the next steps.
4. I duplicated the curve as one side, removed its bevel, converted it to mesh (which essentially made a faceless chain of edges)
5. Then I made a Blender script to create a new armature and automatically position bones in a chained manner for each edge. I also used Blender python to sum up and calculate the total length of the curve spline.
6. Then I set up the 3D cursor at the tip of the base bone.
7. Then I created a new cylinder with the 3D cursor location and rotation, with the depth set as the earlier total length of curve spline.
8. Then I tried to fit the cylinder to the bone, but since the bones in their rest positions were already shaped in the horn shape, I had to make all bones (more than 300 bones) align in a straight line.
9. To achieve this, I made a second Blender script to compute new quaternions for all (but the first) bone relative to the first bone, then set this new pose as rest pose. I made a full duplicated copy of the armature before doing this...
10. ...because then I had to make a third Blender script to remap the copy's pose to this armature; this was essentially an over-engineered way to switch posed pose and rest pose.
11. Then I set the armature (the one whose rest pose is a straight line while its posed pose has the Aries/ram horn shape) to the cylinder, after I applied some UV projection type I don't quite remember to the original cylinder and scaled the UV rectangle to fit the full UV area while moving the poles somewhere beyond the UV area.
12. Then I applied the earlier material and improved things a bit (such as repurposing the leather texture from the dress as the rough texture for the horn)
13. Then I made a fourth Blender script to resize each loop within the cylinder according to the radii of the spline (interpolated as there were ~300 loops for ~50 spline points; basically I mapped the cylinder's local Z position in relation to its max Z position, to a approximated float value of the spline point index, which then I mapped to its lower and higher integers and gathered both indexes' radii, then interpolated according to the decimal places, then multiplied the local x and y components of the vertex position by this interpolated radii while keeping the local z coordinate), followed by smoothing of the vertices at the local X and Y axes.
14. Then I solidified the horn (i.e. applied the armature constraint as definitive state for the vertices) and duplicated it to make it a pair.
15. Attached it to the model using CharMorph's Asset UI.
16. I felt in awe with the result.
As a bonus, I have an animatable/rigged pair of horns, although I'm likely sticking with the static version.

moglekThe plane of faerie, or the feywilds, is a place of nature, dreams, and magic!
Sylvan growth reaches impossibly skyward.
In some areas, the realm seems adrift in perpetual twilight.
Everything is magic, and everything is intensified.
All sense, intensified.
Colors blur and sounds link directly to the heart.
All touch lingers. Deep, and electric with the charge of old magics.
Do you feel the draw of the creatures of the spirit realms?
Nature spirits, tricksters; gnomes, fey, and goblinkind?
Pofile updated to link to an extremely incomplete website!
It contains a few simple resources on scripts and geblin language content.
There is... very much more developed than is posted anywhere.
I hope to release much more of that in the days ahead.
If you would like to try journaling in one of these styles, such as the three current forms of Sylvin, (because you are a fey creature at heart)
Surfneblin (because there's gnome comparison to its style)
or Geblin characters (a script alone does not a language make... but it's a start!)
I would be happy to give you pointers!
