Animations and rigging

It didn't really come up in the past few, but rigging more than one thing to do something is a lot more effort than making one thing move one way. This time it was practice in sculpting, mesh creation, rigging, texture painting and animation in Blender 5.1.

Impulse

I find myself driven more and more to learn as much as I can about Blender. Above you see my attempt at learning to sculpt. I found it's not really feasible to make something a shape, like a cylinder, then carve a shape out of that. Or at

Texture painting

One thing I always thought would be super cool is texture painting an object in 3D. I did about a year of spray finishing at one point so I'm familiar with colouring something one colour over and over again. I also want to learn how to sculpt in

Starting

Starting the process of doing things again, as my life settles into what passes for normal these days. I find if I get up early with something to do I feel much better. Jumped out of bed to do something related to school things and spent the day making this

Well that went well.

Flashback to now, and I don't think I've got the juice to make the helicopter game work with the time I've got. It was a good motivator though! I started reading and drawing again, planning and hoping. Hoping tomorrow I get to hear good

Project Goblin Date

This is the first blog of my next project, project Goblin Date. The idea is to make a game about flying helicopters at sunset. Basically, that. You fly a helicopter into the sunset, there's the game. To do this I'll have to do quite a few

I had a lot of fun with this one. There were so many steps that I wished I had taken screenshots of, all my enemies piling up, different directions, etc... It would have made a good post. Alas, hindsight is 20/20. I'm done this one, https://github.

Screenshot Saturday

I just finished a thing called Ghost Boss, a month long project to learn Rust and Godot. It went well! I just published a bug free release! It exposed me to some ideas that I've had in my head and never been able to vocalize before, such as

Pomodoro

I've always wanted to get a pomodoro that worked. I've tried a few things over the years, a little egg timer, a cube, a program I wrote. It always seemed like such a hassle, no matter if it was flipping a square, poking a program or

First game name reveal

So the first game I'm making is called Ghost Boss, and it entails you possessing your employees to get things done faster in your little supermarket. I have four little minigames planned, and four or five sections of game to play. The code is a bit of a

Shifting gears

So it's been about a year to the day of drawing every day. I learned a lot, and it demystified the process behind making art in general. My skills aren't sharp enough for me to continue a M-F webcomic and keep improving, but! I'
