A Blender technique I've been really into these days is hand painting black and white maps for 90's stylized shadows. I'm still working on getting good at it but it's a really useful technique for getting cool shadows that don't make physical sense. #b3d I'll explain in the comments:

I haven't had much to show off on here lately so I figured I'd show a cool #blender3d trick I learned from the other place years ago: If you unwrap from view while in top view, you get a very straightforward UV map, and if you use gradients as the texture you can get a really cool sense of depth.

25 YEARS OF MEGA MAN BATTLE NETWORK #megaman #fanart

Got a new Blender addon for texturing (Matplus) and decided to model a quick pokeball to put it through its paces. #b3d #Blender #3DArt

where the hell is she goin!!!!

I'm trying to rough out a character design for a new vrc marketplace model. It's meant to be a more edgy early 2000's shonen character like in Yugioh but I'm trying to nail down the color pallet. Anyone have preferences?

Just finished up @whimsycherry.bsky.social's new Vtuber/ VRChat avatar and I'm really happy with how it turned out! #blender #vtuber #vrchat #3dart

It's birthday.

Merry Christmas after all. Yes, this is a re-run, but in my defense she is one high-quality reindeer. #b3d

Some more info about the creation of the Milworm / Marcus Worm. Please feel free to share with anyone who's gotten a laugh from that goofy creature and wants to know more about it! @acejaystudios.bsky.social is very cool and talented! @vrchat.com #VRChat #marcus #marcustheworm #marcusvrchat

Allow me to introduce Leah Pard, my first @vrchat.com marketplace avatar! She’s now available for PCVR (good performance) and Quest (medium performance). You can find her by searching "Leah Pard" in the vrc store avatar tab in-game #b3d #3dart

I just finished doing some lighting checks with this marketplace avatar I've been working on and as expected she looks right at home in the snow. #b3d #vrchat

I've been working on an avatar for the @vrchat.com avatar marketplace lately and she's coming along pretty dang well! I still have a bit more to go but she should be done sometime next week. She should have a medium performance rating on the quest. #vrc #3dmodeling #b3d

got a vr headset reccently and took some pics in vrchat as you do (VRC World: "Sensory Rooms" by Kewlbunny) #vrchat #sona

Did a little watercolor painting of a random vrchat shot Kiwo got of Acejay back in like 2019. I just always liked the vibe of it. Weirdly serene.

Introduce yourself with four spaceships

What's this? An official trailer for the Milworm (Marcus) avatar in @vrchat.com ?!?! Been awesome to see how many people both inside and out of VRChat have gotten to enjoy @acejaystudios.bsky.social 's worm thanks to Roflgator & Jouffas skits. www.youtube.com/shorts/J9Y3x...

I randomly came across this animation I made for a contest a couple years ago, still pretty proud of it. I should really do more short atmospheric things like this more often. #b3d #3d

Just finished Dispatch and can confirm, it was great beginning to end.

When making Zero's helmet from Code Geass, I really wanted the back part to fold up just like the helmet does in the movies.

If you're a Windows user having issues where Warudo just straight up crashes when you launch it, try running it in Windows 8 compatibility mode. I found that info on reddit and just wanted to pay it forward!

Man, I just want to point out how amazing the visuals in this Dispatch game are. It just looks like an animated series...

Hey @sitcompeople.bsky.social I was cleaning my attic and found tapes of this short-lived '90s sitcom I forgot I was in called Fallacy Falls. Don't look it up, just feature me.

To this day I still think about the time in highschool I saw a crow happily flying across the parking lot with a ziplock bag full of cheetos...that image will always be with me. It was the puffed kind too so you know he had good taste.

You might have seen these little guys running around vrc. Acejay is the artist who originally made them and they really took on a life of their own. So if you're so inclined, this is a great way to support him!

Thank you so much for all the support recently! I'm delighted I get the chance to share my art with all of you! 💚 I'm still in the process of raising funds for my pup, Oddy! All commissions are discounted during this time! More info can be found below! ko-fi.com/8bitbeetle/g... #commissionsopen

Hey everybody! Looking for a 3D Model commission? I am looking to fill 4 slots on my commission queue. I do: -vrc avatars -vtubing avatars -game/animation assets More details here: rb.gy/jz0aea Request form here: rb.gy/ryuia0 <3 Cakeman #commissions #b3d #3dart

Here’s an outfit commission I did for @mcspooks.bsky.social recently that I’m really happy with! The base model is actually a commission I did a few years ago so it was fun to get reacquainted with it. #3dArt #vrchat #b3d

Ended up making a 3D printed bust of my Toonami TOM 3 model. I’m pretty clumsy with an airbrush but I’m really happy with how cleanly it turned out. #3dart

Finally looked up how to use the curve stroke method when sculpting in blender and dang is it useful. Wish I knew it earlier. For those who are curious: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR1O...

Man, someday I'm going to learn my lesson and pick a character to model who is new enough to have high res ref images exist of them.... But it is not this day. Here's an in-progress of TOM 3 #toonami #b3d #cartoonnetwork

Mesh2Motion (@scottpetrovic.bsky.social) is an open-source alternative to Mixamo that allows you to rig humanoid and four-legged characters! mesh2motion.org

I think if I was just 20% more Chuunibyou in middle school, my name would be "Devil's Food Cakeman" right now.

embarrassing myself

Some very cool people just released a very cool demo, I highly recommend checking it out especially if you love the old school 3D platforming genre!

Bought some markers recently so I could start doodling again. I forgot how nice it is to draw on real paper

My latest 3D printing project: the Pan’ku box from Jackie Chan Adventures. I sculpted wood grain into the model to try and make it look like an old wooden puzzle box with peeling paint. Basically the goal was to make the movie prop version of it

Okay, maybe that guy was a bit fishy. We need the right detective for this case.

Here's a few more mocap things I did recently/ It was a mix of Rokoko and Mocopi. The struggle with this one is Rokoko is good at keeping feet grounded when one of them is flat on the ground but it has no way of doing that for hands or knees.

Here's a little mocap I recorded with mocopi and polished into a run cycle in Blender today. I'm pretty happy with how it's looking so far so I thought I'd show it off. Still a bit more to go on it but it's a good start. #b3d #mocopi

I'll be going live with more Lil Gator game in 10 minutes, come hang out! The Adventure of Templeton the Hero continues! www.twitch.tv/cakeman1992

I'll be going live in about 10 minutes with the amazingly charming Lil Gator Game so if you're in the mood for a chill time, come hang out! 💚🍰 www.twitch.tv/cakeman1992

I just saw a post of someone lamenting the fact that they couldn't get a very expensive anime shader for vtubing so I thought I'd post this: The "Anime feel" is regular toon shading with tons of post processing on top. You can totally do that for free in OBS.

Presenting...Cherry!🍒 ✨(now in 3D!)✨ She'll be joining future streams as my new vtubing model. Super excited to use this amazing model made by @cakeman.bsky.social (Please be sure to go check out their work btw!)✨ #fursona #vtubing

Just beat Lies of P, that game is amazing and I recommend it. Definitely one of my favorite games in recent memory.

Random attempt at TOM 3 from Toonami. I'm thinking of turning it into a 3D print of some sort. Probably a character bust unless there's someone out there who wants to try and engineer it to be a wearable helmet. Not sure I'll finish it but I like the results so far so I figured I'd show it off.

[DB] Redraw of an old classic. #art

Hi everyone! I'm looking to add a couple 3D model comms for the month of April, if you're interested in having a 3d model made for vtubing, vrchat, animation, etc, more info in those links! -💚Cake

Since I see people saying this alot: "It's pointless modeling things yourself when there are so many models available online." I figured I would say this: There is and always will be a reason to model things yourself. You don't have to, but it will never be pointless. It's your art, do it your way!
