CheesenessFor the midweek #Blendsday session, I tidied up some zfighting, added animations to the cockatoos and the boat, and made a few other misc tweaks
Here's a closer look at my quick and dirty cockatoo animation
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "glasses." I made this little crocoguy

For the midweek #Blendsday session, I took the time to do a head sculpt/study
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "Well," but I misread and went for "Wall" instead.

For the midweek #Blendsday session, I tidied up my superhero scene a little
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "Crystaline." I made these little guys

For the midweek #Blendsday session, I came back to tackle what I didn't have the fortitude for on the weekend - a tribute to Mr Squishy, my oldest and smelliest friend, who passed away 9 years and one month ago. I have missed him every day since
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "weight." I made this pangolin soldier reflecting on some apparent cost
Decided to go off-prompt for the midweek #Blendsday session and make this sea friend
This week's #Blendsday activity is "Combine," where we're invited to work with a bunch of prompts at once - the prompt generator gave me "obsidian," "hollow," "bird," and "mail." The satchel and bubble wrap came out pretty average, and I probably could've lit it better to communicate that the interior of the broken statue is hollow, but I'm pretty happy in general

Decided to come back to my #Blendsday piece from the weekend and try to make things read a bit better. The camera is animated now, which allows the shape of the bird statues to be more readable, and I coloured the interior of the broken statue to make it more clear that it's hollow. I also
replaced the crappy post satchel with a little crate off to the side. Still not perfect, but it's a long way beyond what I had on the weekend. I would've posted this yesterday, but it took 12 hours to render.

For the midweek #Blendsday session, the prompt generator gave me "egg," "star," "drum," and "painting."
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "Statue." I made this Kurlan naiskos (possibly third dynasty)

For the midweek #Blendsday session, I made an Atlantean statue from Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
And here's a video of that one coming together (I had to take a phone call in the middle, which slowed things down a bit >_< )

This week's #Blendsday prompt is "Computer." I made this Amiga monitor (I've got a 360 turnaround animation coming, but it'll take a few more hours to render)
4 hours later #Blendsday

For the midweek #Blendsday session, I optimised my Amiga monitor model a bit to decrease frame render times by a third, and added a mouse
This week's #Blendsday activity is "collaborative scene," where we pick a theme (we settled on "doll house") and spend some time making stuff in isolation that we then share and make our own scenes with. This one's got bits made by myself and Attitude

For the midweek #Blendsday session, I made this picnic scene, featuring bits made by myself, Attitude, and Albarnie
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "starfish," so I made this buff starfish.
Starfish was also among the prompts for the first session when I started Blendsday back in February 2022 https://mastodon.social/@Cheeseness/107788743692376329

This week's Blendsday prompt is "tool." I took the weekend off and misremembered the prompt as "tunnel" for the midweek session, so I made this spider friend instead
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "skyscraper," so I made this scene of the sky being scraped clean. I painted two little paintings using Blender's texture paint mode, and used a mask to reveal the one underneath.
I got mixed up with last week's prompt of "tool," so it was nice to include a paint scraper here as well

For the midweek #Blendsday session, I revisited my scene from the weekend and worked on improving lighting and readability of the dome.
I had wanted to give motion blur to the paint flecks along their individual direction of travel, but I couldn't come up with a nice way to do that that didn't involve rendering each frame individually.
The #Blendsday activity for this week just gone is "revisit an old project." On the weekend, I poked around with a little grease pencil animation I started ages ago (working on the arrow draw and camera management), and for the mid-week session, I worked on some Fossil Sweeper globe stuff
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "crest." I made this spaceshippy

For the midweek #Blendsday session, I sculpted a cassowary friend
krejgo@Cheeseness for a new Cassowary game you're working on...?
@craige Nope, Blendsday is just for practice/fun!
@Cheeseness what the world needs now, more than ever, is a Cassowary game.
You are our only hope...
