I am an author of literature for teens and tweens, a Dungeons & Dragons player (a forever DM), and a 3D printing enthusiast. Additionally, I work in library technology.

I have a dog and enjoy urban exploring and Japanese forest bathing. I create projects with Blender, Unreal Engine, Reaper, and DaVinci Resolve.

My Fuzzy World game dev continues with a day/night atmosphere that adds realism.

Currently attempting to make friendly animal NPCs that the player can gather for protection from the invading aliens.

My animation and 3D modelling are improving.

I wrote a few add-ons to make Blender easier. Simplified finding and fixing errors in mesh and created better, more accurate weight painting.

Done on a #MacAirM3 with Blender 4.5.

Went on the hike to Moon Rock Viewpoint, with an elevation of 225m (if I remember correctly). Definitely not in the shape I want to be in, but in better shape than a year ago. Getting there.

Music choice, as I'm currently on a Stan Bush nostalgia mind tour.

My adventures with #Blender: 3D modelled the creature I used to draw obsessively when I was 11 years old.
See the original drawing in the third picture.

Used SculptGL to model the shape and Blender to add details.
