CheesenessFor 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
And here's a timelapse of that one coming together https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1l0c95iiKfQ

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
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "flag." I went off-prompt and did a quick sculpt of this little guy
And here's a timelapse of me sloppily pulling that one together https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHSKDrkT8oc&list=PL0FB77845562641A7
#Blendsday sculpting timelapse - Koala (2025-06-01)
For the midweek #Blendsday session, I stuck with the prompt and made this flag/banner
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "Rail." I took the weekend off and spent the midweek session working on an addon to speed up some Fossil Sweeper work. Nothing to share from me ^_^
This week's #Blendsday activity was "increasing interval studies" where we made 1 minute, 5 minute, 10 minute, and 20 minute versions of the same model. I poked around with using the "skin" modifier to make this low poly lion (it makes terrible geometry, and I spent a lot of time during the 10 minute one cleaning that up, so I didn't end up dealing with that/working the form as much in the 20 minute version)
And here's a timelapse of each of those comping together

Decided to give that one just a bit more attention
For the midweek #Blendsday session, I made some shells
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "channel." I made this lightning redirection scene

#Blendsday modelling timelapse - Channel (2025-06-22)
For the midweek #Blendsday session, I modelled this scene
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "potato." I had some other stuff on on the weekend, but for the mid-week session, I made this little animation
This week's #Blendsday activity is "three moods" where we're invited to make one scene and try to present it in ways that convey different moods or feelings. I made this camp scene with warm, cold, and damp variants.

For the midweek #Blendsday session, I made this little vase scene (would've done it in Cycles with nice fog, but Blender 4.5 doesn't like my kernel and I didn't want to wait for it to be rendered on my CPU
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "ocean." I made this low poly whale

#Blendsday modelling timelapse - Three moods (2025-07-20)
For the midweek #Blendsday session, I made this little sea scene. Would've liked to have given a bit more attention to the crayfriend, and tweaked my procedural gobos to be more in focus, but I ended up I spending all my time on materials

This week's #Blendsday prompt is "harvest." I made this little low poly scene and rendered it super low res
And here's a timelapse of that one coming together https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKK1uWvCMR8
#Blendsday modelling timelapse - Harvest (2025-08-03)
I used AO in that scene, which is making some details stand out a little better (such as the layered tiers on the pine trees), but adds a bunch of noise to stuff like wood piles and apple trees. Earlier this morning, I put together a proof of concept, which doesn't use AO, and I think has better feel now that I've taken a little break. Both this and the "harvest" scene do everything with one material (the "harvest" scene uses object viewport colour).
This week's #Blendsday activity is to make something based on a "childhood memory." I've had #Lego on my mind lately (re: https://mastodon.social/@Cheeseness/114946703072226523 )

This week's #Blendsday prompt is "ride." I was going to make a little scene with Bastian riding Falkor, but had some stuff come up and had to wrap up early
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "goat." I'm taking the weekend off to focus on my WIP space game before the jam deadline, but I'm looking forward to seeing what others in my community make ^_^
For the midweek #Blendsday session, I made this goat
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "snow." I ended up having a sleep in and missing the weekend one, but here's what I made for the midweek session
This week's #Blendsday activity is "Variations on a theme" where we're invited to make multiple things exploring a theme. I was going to make a bunch of different nests, but I have other things to do this morning and one'll have to do

#Blendsday modelling timelapse - Segment (2025-09-14)
For the midweek #Blendsday session, I poked around with Blender's 2D animation tools a bit and made another slater (wish I had more time to work this further, but other stuff needs attention!)
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "beetle." I made this beetle guy

For the midweek #Blendsday session, I made this beetle person (it's what I had in mind for the weekend session before I got carried away doodling)
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "delicacy." I made some cheesecake

#Blendsday modelling timelapse - Silent (2025-10-12)
For the midweek #Blendsday session, I made this quiet mossy scene. Alas, some of my particles came out with very uniform length
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "recess." I made this (kinda wish I'd stuck a flower growing out of a crack or something for scale - it's meant to be small)

HardlyWorgen@Cheeseness What is the yellow layer with black things in it?
@HardlyWorgen A passionfruit glaze, as seen here https://www.cheesecake.com.au/product/tropical-passionfruit
Erin@Cheeseness that icing/topping looks amazing
@ChateauErin Delicious passionfruit glaze
Neko 
@Cheeseness gobble gobble
Ponder Stibbons π§π·π©πͺ@Cheeseness
Looks like straight out of MassEffect

@blackcoffeerider I don't think I played enough to have much context for comparison (I played it for like 20 minutes about a decade ago), but as with most Blendsday stuff, I looked at some photos of bugs and just doodled for a few hours
Loren@Cheeseness low poly pod pal!
πΏππ£π€@Cheeseness rolypoly!
@denoiksde Since you asked so nicely
@Cheeseness EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! RUBBER DUCKY! OwO
@Cheeseness ITS 2 REEEEEEEEEEEEE I GO BONKERS! OwO Is there any way you can render it as a picture? Would love to use it as PfP! 
@Cheeseness I go with the second one :3 Tysm
@denoiksde Feel free to let people know where it came from ^_^
@Cheeseness huh :o already do since I use it. Check my profile
@denoiksde Oh! I didn't see. Thank you!
uoou@Cheeseness @denoiksde That is fucking adorable.
I love them
Cidney Hamilton (she/they/he)@Cheeseness Very elegant-looking model and relaxing animation. :)
