This week's #Blendsday prompt is "acoustic." I had a go at a stylised visualisation of a sonar pulse, and made a little cave to explore

This week's #Blendsday activity is "Revisit an old project." I went back to this Chester model I made back in January to give him some fur. https://mastodon.social/@Cheeseness/111825425015897268

I'm rendering the animation again too, but I'm pretty sure it's not colliding with the surface properly. We'll see how it looks in an hour or two

Here's how the animation came out - not quite as bad as it was looking from the viewport preview, but still a lot of hair clipping through the body geometry

For the midweek session, I revisited this spaceship that never really came together during a previous #Blendsday session last year. Still don't think it's quite there, but it was fun to think about detailing https://mastodon.social/@Cheeseness/109967918582588344

This week's #Blendsday activity was "increasing interval studies" where we make a thing multiple times, taking more time with each iteration. I made this egret. Couldn't get much done in 30 seconds, but it fun interesting to try!

This week's #Blendsday prompt is planet. I made these little low poly planets from icospheres
Show threadCheesenessJun 30, 2024
I had initially wanted to make the planets sized to scale and have to (a different) scale distances too, but I couldn't find a good balance of the two scales that allowed Uranus to be in frame and the sun to not eat Mercury. The solar system is a very big, very empty place.

For the midweek #Blendsday session, I went back to my model from the weekend and created an animation that illustrates how far away Neptune is from the rest of the planets. I couldn't come up with a nice way to get a driver to control text content, so I made some tumblers and did a modular division of my scale multiplier to set their rotations.

This week's #Blendsday activity is "three moods" where we're invited to create a simple scene with primitives, and then use techniques other than modelling to try and express three different moods from the same scene. I made a little snowglobe and tried to use different camera framing to give different senses of "intimacy."

For the midweek #Blendsday session, I made the thieves' guild scene from Quest for Glory 1, where you go to fence your stuff. Was hoping to add in a bunch more extra faces with different colours like the pattern on the back of the guildmaster's chair and use compositing to crunch it back down to a proper EGA palette, and also add the red brick frame around the scene as seen in-game, but I ran out of time this afternoon

The prompt for this week's #Blendsday activity is "childhood memory" - I made another one of my first Transformers toys - Cosmos. I focused more on building out the parts instead of detailing, so it looks a bit plain, but I might be able to animate it for the midweek session
