Unprecedented levels of oof. This is measuring a 9.5 on the oof index.

On my walk today, I found what effectively looked like a giant plant ball sack. I tore out a small hole in the suspiciously scrotum like shell and peered inside with my iPhone lens, revealing this awesome central core suspended by tendrils. Nature is cool #photography #nature

How Trump gets his facts

The hubs has been making hand painted sacred geometry Tarot cards, they’ve been really turning out dope af Please give him a follow and some love 🫡 www.instagram.com/julianschech...

Banjo Tooie was one of my all time favorite 64 titles along with Donkey Kong 64. I remade Pine Grove outside of Witchy World here in Unreal 4 way back in 2015. Never got to fully finish it as the project became corrupted and inaccessible. I still think about trying again from time to time…

Some more marble macros I took yesterday, just from the phone. What I hate about the iPhone is the severe blurry fringing that goes on. Won’t be a problem once I can save up for a nice lens #photography #macro #shotoniphone

bug frens from today's grass touch #photography #canon #outdoor #insects

how to fart on a plane without others noticing

In today’s episode of “days I wish I could experience again:” shooting holes in my RWS sign 🫡

I need to make more Gmod stuff lol

Some nature shots from today #photography #nature #insects #canon

A bit of HDR practice — blending multiple exposures (dark, bright, and everything between) into one balanced photo where a single shot couldn’t capture the full range of light. #photography #hdr #hdrmerge #EOSR6mk2

I’m starting real estate photography, which allowed me to upgrade to a serious camera rig. I was able to do a lot with just an iPhone, but the ability for a long exposures alone is going to be a game changer. #canon #EOSR6Mk2 #photography

This is a photo I took, no editing whatsoever. Find out in the comments how I got it

lol thicc & juicy

Someone sent me a reloadable koozie. Got something a little special for my gears of war fans at the second half of the video 🫡

A few experimental macros I don’t think I shared here yet (or anywhere). First three are from a glass ware shop, last one is a glass of soapy dish water resting on top of some LEDs #photography #noai #macro #abstractphotography #light #refraction

Liminal shit right here #shotoniphone

This is the proper gentlemen’s way of hat wearing #mafia2

Some experimental stuff with this cool 3D printed fidget, idk lol

Despite the end of the Kickstarter campaign being just a few days away, we are still confident we can still reach all those stretch goals! It was fully funded in roughly a day and we're about to hit 400K, let's do this! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pos...

What if everyday life had quick time events like you see in God of War, TLOU, etc? #gaming #humor #skit

Updated my portfolio a bit karlschecht.artstation.com

piss time event

Some neat cloud formation from a few days ago and a couple sunset shots. I really need to get a professional camera setup 😅 #photography #clouds #sunset #shotoniphone

Probably one of my favorite underwater shots I’ve gotten. Look at his little face eyes 👀 #underwaterphotos #photography #mollusk #shotoniphone

In 2019 I recreated Nelson Mandela’s prison cell from scratch in Blender + Unity using only photo reference. It runs in VR with minimal hardware requirements and is still being exhibited at the Apartheid Museum in South Africa.

Look at this orange dickweed holding up what looks like a high school PowerPoint graph made last minute. No context or methodology. Just a magic beanstalk of bullshit shooting straight up into fantasy land. Everyone who voted for this corpulent fuck got duped and fucked the rest of us in the process

Update on Hilbert space visualizer—I scripted a single mode quantum harmonic oscillator to drive the W input of the fBM node - W(t) = W₀ + A cos(ω t + φ₀) A small step towards my larger goal of having this thing display real QFT equations. Built in Blender EEVEE. #blender3d #quantumfieldtheory

Messing around with plastic lid condensation being backlit by rainbow LED lighting. I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of this #photography #macro #abstractphotography #colors #shotoniphone

More car headlamp macros, using rainbow lighting. Car headlamps continue to be one of the more interesting subjects to photograph #MacroPhotography #AbstractArt #LightPlay #FoundAbstraction #VisualArt #EverydaySurrealism #PhotoOfTheDay

Underwater shots from a garden fountain. Light refracting in every direction, echoing itself into near-infinite patterns. Like staring into recursion through liquid glass. #underwaterphotography #visualentropy #refraction #photography #shotoniphone

Got recognized at a local restaurant for my NPC content. Always nice to run into fans in public, even if it doesn’t happen all that often.

Meanwhile, the @rwsstudios.com website (you know, the people who made the Postal games) proudly promotes their diverse team and hired on @kommanderkarl.bsky.social even after he stood up for diversity. You want an edgy game that's made by devs who are actually cool? Go play the Postal games.

Had this idea to photograph up close a transparent retroreflector backlit by my trusty rainbow LED desk lamp. Can’t say I’m disappointed! Looks like some spectral optical lattice. #photography #macrophotography #optics #shotoniphone #refraction

Storm cloud I just snapped a photo of, somehow made it look apocalyptic lol

Remember when NPC companions couldn’t figure out how to get in the car in grand theft auto? I ‘member

There’s something hypnotic about photographing water (especially from underneath the surface). Light, refraction, and chaos all meet in this tiny alien world. Macro photography never fails to remind me how much beauty hides in plain sight. #waterstudy #abstractmacro #shotoniphone

Anyone in my follower list that works at a game studio or any place where a game engine/rendering is involved, I am actively seeking full time employment. Contract work just isn’t doing it anymore, really needing something with more stability & longevity. DM me! Thanks yall

This is it, this is the dream I had well over a decade ago, just finished the swingset today. The hell should I call this place anyway?

I am at a loss for words. I cannot believe this happened

Progress update on recreating dreams I’ve had in Unreal 5. Old swingset is blocked in, probably will start varying foliage types/densities after swing is done. What do yall think?

Textured this behemoth today. Not super optimized, uses 4 draw calls each with three 4k textures lol...will probably channel pack the roughness and metallic eventually. Really starting to look like the dream I had. Now onto the lone rusty swing set in the center of the field...

Had a dream 15+ years ago: a vast field of tall grass, trees on 3 sides, chain-link fence, an old swing set, and a concrete tower on the horizon. It stuck with me all these years later, so I’m recreating it in Unreal 5. This is the first pass—I’ll keep posting progress.

Bubbles are cool
