Spatial warps are the real "magic sauce" of Keeper's morph tech. Since we use an implicit surface representation we can easily bend and distort space before the distance fields are sampled. This example is a showcase for the twist warp... Left: along-axis. Right: distance-from-center.

Holiday shopping done.. email caught up.. all pending messages replied to (afaik).. very close to being a responsible human for the moment

The terrain gets a muted feel this time of year….

Feed highlights (Not my pics or work, apologies for lack of proper credits)

Today's the day 5.0 is out now, an excuse for me to stop avoiding blender and get back into learning things.

Not my photos, just some feed highlights from the last few days. I curate my media quite heavily so scrolling is mostly just these vibes... Hate posting things without proper credit or alt txt, but perhaps it's better than not posting at all. Y'all may see more like this in future (sans caption).

Second harvest of vitex (aka chaste) berries, drying in the sun The first crop met a terrible fate, so fingers crossed.

Spice racks in Valheim are just... so big!!.. Cute, but unexpected

I felt compelled to photograph this particular leaf -shrug- enjoy, I guess?

Apocalypse nightmares are getting downright cinematic now.. Need to regain my forget-everything-upon-wake reflex

occupied cavities • 11” x 14” • gouache & watercolor on paper

Behind the scenes of the drawing, from graphite to gold leaf. Music: Dead Can Dance - Dionysus / Dance of the Bacchantes. ⭐️ "Lilith in the Valley of a Thousand Sculptures" Mixed media: coffee, graphite, white pencil, colored pencil, and gold leaf on Arches paper.

Cover for THE TRIDENT AND THE PEARL -- upcoming romantasy book by Sarah K. L. Wilson. Really proud of this one, especially of all the water caustics. And it's always a joy to work with Sarah! #romantasy #illustration

That time to watch Rocky Horror again while giving out candy.. This movie used to be UNAVOIDABLE on Halloween, now I just spent real time finding a subscription service that actually had it...

Pushing myself to be able to recognize more constellations by sight.. I can name & spot embarrassingly few for the 4 decades Ive been alive.. Learned a new one this week 🌟 (quizzing with a phone app to confirm accuracy)

Craft, paint, code, carve, rebuild, whatever -- keep your hands busy and constructive! Pull your emotions, worries, and thoughts out of your mind and channel them into something new and tangible (of any quality)

Bouncing between these 3 games is an extremely peaceful and enjoyable flavor of escapism. #MedievalDynasty #ManorLords #Valheim

Was trying to catch a good picture of this monarch when another swooped into view, diving at the feeding butterfly for territory- I managed to catch this single unedited pic with my phone and bad reflexes, capturing both monarchs in the same shot and getting a decent look at the wings

I feel like we need to update our constellations because of sky glow. New shapes visible in suburban skies, merge dimmer areas, modern simple names. #astronomy

Mortar and pestle days are the best days 🌿 🪴 🌱

It's been kinda fun trying to where's-waldo myself in the various footage posted online.. here's the best picture I've found so far. Several folks asked for permission tho, eventually one should surface with my actual face. Promise the feed will now go back to arts, crafts, nature, and blender.

Hello everyone! Here's a little bee #scape for #stunday 💛🐝💚 #SundayYellow #photography #bloomscrolling #bees

There was a tense-ish moment with some police verbal warnings, but yes overall peaceful and hopeful.

Attended the No Kings protest today with hundreds of others in Frisco Texas today. There was overwhelming support from passing motorists. I'm briefly visible in the background of the wfaa news coverage, but didn't take any selfies (of my own) today to share with y'all

day 9 of trying to draw a mushroom for every day of october 👾 #art #sciart #fungi #mushrooms

A porcelain dish, Nabeshima ware, Okawachi official kilns, Hizen (Imari city), Edo period (1680-1720).

Approximately half of the chaste (aka vitex) berries of my first harvest, drying in the sun. They've already been washed, dried for several days, now peeled and left to dry for a few more days. I'm still cleaning the other half, it's wildly fussy but calming too. 🌱🌿

I picked up Manor Lords- finally. Having fun, hence most of my recent silence. Also playing Medieval Dynasty again. MD is co-op, but I still haven't found a partner to play with.... What have y'all been playing recently? #ps5 #pc #gaming #ManorLords #MedievalDynasty

As it wanes the beauty is magnified 📷🌱 …

This particular one caught me- then I realized it's because approximately 80% of my wardrobe I've sewn falls under these shades.. I live in these colors.

We also attempted growing Weld this year - this was the only one to sprout from the pack, finally doing well Next year will either harvest for yellow dye, or let it go to seed and try again for larger crop

Also from sometime last year, when I was going hard on cartoony water. Here's a little patch of anime-style ocean doing some un-ocean-like things. #Blender #Mograph #VFX #GeometryNodes #ProceduralArt

There were 3 trilobite species over a foot long... the largest found was 28 inches ..or does your brain wonder about peaceful normal things at night?

Another post for #SciArtSeptember day 29: Plate 96 from Kunstformen der Natur (1904) by Ernst Haeckel depicting a variety of marine annelid worm species. It is labeled Chaetopoda, an obsolete taxonomical term. A favorite, it looks even more striking in person. Coin for scale.

Saw this gorgeous Eastern Tiger Swallowtail #butterfly (had to look up what kind it was), next to a monarch on our chaste tree today

Forgot to post the picture of my second woad ball Tiny ball on top is from last month's harvest, now properly dried and shrunken - the large ball on bottom is new

Having another woad harvest today

Autumn Light A painting from 2023, I really liked trying to portray translucency here. I referenced a hare skull in front of a lamp, and extrapolated how the lighting would look with a full skeleton. A few signed prints available here: lostthicket.etsy.com/listing/1805... #oilpainting #sciart

My favourite part of Hidcote is an area full of a variety of flowers, shrubs and trees where you can immerse yourself in beauty. Two people amongst the foliage and flowers in September. #Cotswolds #FlowersonFriday #FloralFriday #Bloomscrolling #Scape #Landscape #Gardens #Photography

Feeling like a greek garden statue today

The ferns are putting on a show these days along many parts of the East Coast Trail. Near Bay Bulls, Newfoundland, Canada. #hiking #trail #backpacking

Unusual (cyclical) circadian rhythm: do you have one? My son seems to have inherited mine, but I never hear it discussed- are other people sharing this hell?? (We have 26-28 hour days instead of 24, couple hours later every night, repeat forever. Some weeks up during day, then nocturnal. Repeat.)
