Doin funny stuff with Foodfight's model of Chef Boyardee

@adhdev.io @kommanderkarl.bsky.social @erikrobson.net you guys are the ones I've talked to most lately, I've been having this inkling of an idea, stemming mostly from the current job market, but the major issue would be financing it. Steve Jobs I am not, and it likely needs more workshopping.

Any @rockstargames.com #RockstarGames devs from the dev period of anything from 3-5 that worked on the world building or city modeling? I had some inquiries on that if it doesn't violate any sort of NDA. Just curious on how those processes worked beyond grid paper planning and white boxing.

I just bad the most hare-brained idea for texture storage and displaying it. I just need to work on a method or proof to get it to work. It should work in blender, I know that for certain.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOOR... Hey, #GameDev #Graphics #3d #VFX mutuals, just saw this review of the new Ryoichi Ando Paper for softbody/cloth sim technique. It sounds like its still time intensive, but the result with the new technique used here makes mesh clipping almost completely non-existent.

So something just took down Amazon's servers and reportedly other streaming services. Alexa doesn't work either from what people have been saying.

So the Louvre lost something? I know a guy, but he lives in London at Whitehaven and he's Belgian.

So I finally got to check out Flow (2024) the movie made in #blender . It was beautiful..

Doin some funny fan #TADC stuff in the background. #Blender3d #music #PinkFloyd #TheDivisionBell Models that are used in this are from @zayjax.bsky.social

@kovox.net I'd DM ya but I don't have that access, but just wanted to say, I'm sorry to hear that the fans are being just a tad bit much. That's never fun.

@gooseworx.bsky.social I remember when my local Best Buy would play the Resonant Chamber Animusic video on their TVs. Granted I remember it being like a giant jumbotron screen you could see from across the store, all stacked TVs linked up to make it, but I may be misremembering that.

Me when the mouse that has been pestering my room and house for 5 days suddenly appears in my field of vision after flipping everything in my room to find it:

Going through my texture reference files I've accrued over the past 3 years and getting them all organized. Also got some wax figure people for fun because getting face references elsewhere except diy is expensive. #gamedev #photoscouting #texture #texturedesign #3dartist

@gooseworx.bsky.social I think it left the manor and is just hiding out..

@sonicmega.bsky.social 👀 bubsy moment

Latest in the models I'm doing of the #TADC characters in a retro style!

So besides the TADC or gaming themed stuff. I've taken to making a reproduction of the Floyd Peppers Muppet. It was originally meant to be seen at this year's Des Moines con but I needed more time and work done on it. Just now I've started working on the jeans. #sewing #muppets

Something I put together a couple years ago when I was working on multiple different projects that needed feathers

Thinking of how to make a Ragatha action figure that is part cloth ragdoll, part plastic articulated figure.

Here's the workshop page! #TF2 #MVM steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/...

@sonicmega.bsky.social found Kinger 's zen garden

I'm nearing completion with my level. 29 days ago I would never have known how to make a #MVM style gameplay map for #TF2. Just a few more passes with props, playable space flow, and visual bugs to hash out (or implement new models) And it'll be submitted for @valvesoftware.com 's map submissions!

Hey #shader #texturedesign #gamedev #dev peeps, when getting that old CRT look, do you go with the basic overlay/screen effect, or do y'all pass your rendered frames through a shader that takes the RGB values and processes them through a simulated phosphor array? I do that for LED and CRT tv models.

Starting to do a nice little test with Jax. Pretty much using #blender3d #blender like a CADD program to make an action figure. #TADC #Actionfigure #b3d #TADCJax

So I have personal project ideas to prototype some action figures based on the characters from #TADC . Zooble, is an interesting idea, Do I go the full wooden toy route like zoLo or some sort of articulatable design with hinges OR something akin to the old bendems figures?

I find it wild that someone in a reaction vid was able to identify the stadium in #TADC episode 5 as being the one the Atlanta Braves play at. Like how the heck does someone know that??

Its finished, and it sucks 👍 #TADCep6 #spoilers #tadcmeme #waltuh

So I caved into getting the @zayjax.bsky.social models for #TADC to do this funni little joke, mostly because I needed some more control / detail then my rigs have at the moment. But this Jax meme for episode 6 is currently cooking. Both meme wise and my graphics card hating Blender 4.5

So I now have a(nother) very slow burning #TADC themed idea.

so I just finished episode six... How do I give you the indie award for perfect portrayal of coping, existential dread with onsets of hyperventilating and blurry vision, and the dynamics of those coping mechanisms between individuals essentially locked in a box @gooseworx.bsky.social ? 'cuz yup!

This episode of #TADC I'm hoping for a series ending that isn't the usual. What that is I won't say. Show is just too good to die.

Why does the automatic conveyor at the storage room at Walmart sound like purple guy dismantling an animatronic on loop?

I exist in a weird sphere as a Z from 2002.

Uh yeah, Red Ryder, Show me your getaway vehicle, come on, huh?

Hopefully this MvM map will be a good foot in the door opportunity for me to get picked up in the game industry. Be it Valve or someone of the likes. Retail is looking bleak.

Bring back devices

Another progress update on my #TF2 #MVM level with the destructible props with tank to help visualize it. #leveldesign #Simulation #blender3d

Just started doing some baked physics for my #TF2 #MVM map. This will be for the tank boss which will bust through multiple walls to get outside to the plaza.

#tf2 #mvm more level design. I needed a hole for the tank so square brushwork it is! #leveldesign

More updated look at my #tf2 #mvm map! #leveldesign

I'm individually going through all the HL2 maps I'm basing my MvM maps on to pick out the textures needed for each map and placing them in my editor to run em through filters and my goodness there's a bit. Models will be fun and easy to reskin

Some more progress on the level for #TF2 #MvM #leveldesign

Heres a long view of my MvM #TF2 map. its wild seeing #HL2 buildings in a pseudo painterly TF2 style but its getting ever so close to being done geo wise. just need to finish up set dressing and some barebones MvM map logic. #Hammer #leveldesign #ValveSoftware

More progress on my #TF2 Map, modeled the window from Half Life into a TF2 artstyle. Not 1:1 but the style is right minus some support struts that cross about the main beams. #Leveldesign #modeling #ValveSoftware #Valve #MVM

Here's a viewport view of my #Tf2 map I'm working on for Mann vs Machine.

They turned @ashleynichols.bsky.social 's Zooble into a toothbrush

I really want to show my #tf2 #teamfortress2 map I'm making for the MvM thing but I'm like... I don't want to show my cards at what I'm planning lol. It's like 6 or so many maps. Maybe 9 of I have time to do it. Just level work no logic yet.

When you make the model that'll be used all over the map but make 1 texture for it.
