CheesenessFor 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)
And here's a timelapse of that one coming together

#Blendsday modelling timelapse - Cup (2025-10-26)
I had a bit of other stuff on this afternoon, but for the midweek #Blendsday session, I took a super quick whack at making Kup from Transformers: The Motion Picture
This week's #Blendsday activity is "Iterate" where we're invited to kitbash or modify a CC licenced model made by someone else. I've been swamped and didn't end up having time to make anything, but I was thinking of taking this chest and pushing its form into a more overtly cartoonish space. Maybe next time!

This week's #Blendsday prompt is "ray." I made this sea friend

#Blendsday modelling timelapse - Ray (2025-11-16)
For the midweek #Blendsday session, I updated my scene from the weekend with some more seafriends
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "bear." I've still got a migraine, so I think I'm going to give this session a miss.
This week's #Blendsday activity is "Opposite" where we're invited to use the Blendsday site's prompt generator, and make something that is opposite of whatever it gives. I've been swamped this week and am not sure if I'll get time to make something or not, but it's still a fun exercise https://blendsday.art/?a=4#resources
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "pilot." I made this pilot whale.

This week's #Blendsday prompt is "nest." I made the crow's nest of the Sea Monkey from Monkey Island 1 (wish I'd just hand animated the flag >_< )
And here's a timelapse of that one coming together https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKchWxjSN_Q
#Blendsday modelling timelapse - Nest (2025-12-21)
For the midweek #Blendsday session, I tweaked this one a little more, adding animations for the sheets (ropes) and redoing the flag to be a little less stiff. Didn't notice that the flag was clipping through ropes before I rendered though >_<
This week's #Blendsday activity is "you." I'm a bit too leaky to get much productive done today (dunno why I developed allergies to grass and stuff in my late 30s \o/ ), but I am doing some housekeeping for video archives of my Blendsday stream timelapses, so that can count ^_^
For the midweek #blendsday session, I made this scene which I hope conveys some of the splendour and wonder that our little solar system holds
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "hat." I made this akubra
For the midweek #Blendsday session, I put a hat on a hat.
Here's the timelapse from the weekend session https://spectra.video/w/wGajHDWKU94QGG9fGo1fhu

This week's #Blendsday activity is "quick swap" where we work for 15 minutes on a .blend, and then pass it to someone else and work on their .blend for 15 minutes (and so on)
Here's how the the two scenes that I worked on came out (the mountain chess one started by me, and the drawing table with tree started by Attitude)
And here's a timelapse of my work on both of those https://spectra.video/w/r1a2LZcyRrZi8E4WnL7FWA
#Blendsday modelling timelapse - Quick Swap (2026-01-25)
For the midweek #Blendsday session on Wednesday, we did the "quick swap" thing again. Here's how the three scenes that I contributed to came out (the well and table scene was started by me, the atmospheric throne started by Albarnie, and the spaceship started by Attitude )
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "cheese." I made this cheese
Here's the timelapse of that one coming together (and some other cheeses I tried and abandoned along the way)

This week's #Blendsday prompt is "deer." I made this deer
And here's a timelapse of that one coming together. Along the way, you can see me realising that deer do not have giraffe necks, have relatively flat backs, and two-toed hooves

This week's #Blendsday prompt is "Amphitheatre." I made this fairy ring

This week's #Blendsday activity was "Free Session." I modelled/texture painted this little doll
And here's a timelapse of that one coming together https://spectra.video/w/mrE2iGA7cMRtfGTerE8roT
#Blendsday modelling timelapse - Free Session (2026-02-22)
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "Print." I decided to try making this little footprint scene using only a flat plane and a painted texture feeding into roughness and a bump node (there's also a noise node in there too)
And here's a timelapse of that one coming together https://spectra.video/w/oBrKWjgm13rS5d849D45oV

This week's #Blendsday prompt is "Bucket." I made the bucket o' mud from Monkey Island 2.

This week's #Blendsday prompt is "Dragon." I made this dragon out of uniformly scaled cubes (except for the pupil, which is a squished cube)
And here's a timelapse of that one coming together where you can watch me make and then decide against a cloaca https://spectra.video/w/aC2WQtkwVSrZQwLHhsagfo

I missed the first half of the midweek session #Blendsday session, but I had time to noodle around with this
This week's #Blendsday activity is "Combine" where we make something that expresses 4 random prompts. The prompt generator gave me "hill," "rocky," "heart," and "sky," so I made this scene
And here's a timelapse of that one coming together https://spectra.video/w/eFm84nDmqFLJG5wcZgeWZR

#Blendsday modelling timelapse - Bulb (2026-03-29)
I missed the weekend #Blendsday session. This week's prompt is "grey" and I made this lumpy spacebody. Not really happy with the material, but it was nice to just doodle for a while
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "hollow." I Made this spoopy guy
And here's a timelapse of that one coming together (alas, my stream dropped out and I lost the bit where I modelled the cape)

This week's #Blendsday prompt is "rocky," which is perhaps appropriate, though I am struggling to find motivation enough to open Blender
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "spaceship," but I still don't have much Blender motivation at the moment with all the Blender stuff going on.
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "sled." Blender funding policy stuff is still sapping my motivation, but I made this little scene today
And here's a timelapse of that one coming together https://spectra.video/w/vaVgp4sGDAaQaXm7zTn8w7
#Blendsday modelling timelapse - Sled (2026-05-10)
This week's #Blendsday activity is "revisit an old project." I came back to work a little more on this piece of Into the Breach fan art that I started ages back (here's how it looked last time I touched it https://mastodon.social/@Cheeseness/115885144594390960 )
I remain uncomfortable with the current situation/lack of progress regarding the Blender Foundation's Funding Policy and AI Policy following accepting money from Athropic, and feel a need to acknowledge that when sharing stuff that promotes Blender.
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "ruffles." I did this quick little sculpt.

#Blendsday modelling timelapse - Ruffle (2026-05-24)
This week's #Blendsday prompt is "blue." I experimented with using animation to drive a pottery wheel type workflow. Couldn't get anything working for texture painting, but I did get a rudimentary setup happening for sculpting.

Erin@Cheeseness I'd guess you don't often revisit these but I can see so clearly in my mind's eye this sequence/animation/loop:
- No fire, inflating dragon
- Deflating dragon, inflating fire
- Minimum dragon, maximum fire, and fire extinguishes again
@ChateauErin Yeah, this'd be fun to animate! A bob up and down and wing flap as the dragon hovers in place would be cool too. I don't normally come back to them, but sometimes I do. Usually it's down to how much free time I have (which sadly is very limited. I was considering skipping today's session - glad I didn't!)
@Cheeseness yeah this one's real cute.
I happened to be in the vicinity of some folks doing oxy-acetylene welding this week. This was in daytime, indoors, in a room with windows and skylights. The torch noticeably brightened the room when it lit (and I couldn't even see it directly). The dragon fire just reminded me of that.
@ChateauErin Oooh, what kind of stuff were they making?
@Cheeseness swapping out a compressor for a bar fridge. And, I heard later, they also broke a gas line by accident and had to fix that.
tech art superstar@Cheeseness yes!! best dragon

Attached: 1 image Work in progress scene using Microbe-2 tiles :)
@Cheeseness this one is good too 🤩
@rh2 100%! @MrmoTarius does good stuff!
Tim Krief@Cheeseness A squished cube is just lots of cube :P
@timkrief I had considered doing a row of smaller cubes, but I had a lot less time than I wanted and decided to just bend my "rules"
