Well, it's taken a little over a week of grinding away at this shot, but I finally got it done! Modeled and Rendered in Blender by me Composited in After Effects with Red Giant Suite Edited in Premier. #blender3d #startrek #scifi #3dmodeling #animation #spaceship #vfx #scifi

Ok let's see here, I have an economy dependent on consumer spending, and where everyone is leveraged to the gills. Should I make everything more expensive for no apparent reason and see how it goes?

almost done, just need some final details then I can set this model aside for the next several years or so

Microsoft seems to be playing chicken with their users with this Windows 10 -> 11 crap. Who's gonna blink first? Anyway, with a little help, I switched my main PC to Linux Ubuntu last night. It was way easier than I thought! Bye Microsoft! 👋

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

Mockup thumbnail-sketch render for a planned shot showing off my Star Trek EVA suit, doing some work on the hull of a Miranda-class. Intentionally in very bad/warbly quality to not give the impression that anything is final. The Miranda and suit are by me, the Workbee is @herda.me's amazing model.

Lots of updates - Timing adjustments, Sparks and flame improvements, I added more debris, and debris/shield interactions, as well as adding Romulan Disruptor fire and SOUNDS! I'm quite happy with how this ended up looking.

Trying to think what extremely common household pain reliever might have caused my fascination with airships.

Saw a kid wearing a MAGA hat this morning on the train. I really don’t get why a 12yo would be bopping around in a MAGA hat, except I guess to be a little edgelord? Like, were 12yos seriously rocking Obama merch back in ‘08? I don’t recall giving a crap about the president at that age.

Today I learned this is Robert Redford and not Zach Galifianakis.

Do you feel it! 🎃

I recently discovered “Vehicle Motion Cues” in iOS and holy crap, what a godsend they have been for helping to avoid motion sickness!

of all the cool starship designs DISCO gave us, the Magee-class is my fave (don't talk to me about warp nacelles running through the saucer, it's fictional)

"Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning" TOS Enterprise model by me Modeled in Blender, Rendered in Cycles Composit in After Effects with Red Giant. #blender3d #startrek #3dmodeling #scifi #spaceship

I wanted to post this right after the Kaneda, but it need some more time to cook. It's a remaster of my Connie model I did a few years back with a bunch of details that I had missed and/or chosen not to do before. www.artstation.com/artwork/5Wg64J #startrek

I’ll be honest, I’m surprised how much of a shit the internet apparently gives about Cracker Barrel.

Lately I’ve been ditching my Apple Watch in favor of wearing a Casio Baby-G I picked up for like $30, and honestly I can’t say I miss the Apple like AT ALL. My phone is already addictive & omnipresent enough, I kinda like not having it strapped to my wrist all day.

Even when you sub to an online publication, the UX still feels like being paywalled. You’re either not logged in bc you opened the link in an in-app browser, or bc the site has just logged you out. Half the time I just opt to not bother reading the article so that I don’t have to log in again.

Some close ups of the Spruce Shrake! Anyone interested in a behind the scenes on the materials and texturing on this guy? Also, many thanks to Is_Chimera for the nose art! She's awesome. @ischimera.bsky.social - check their work out!

MeshBlend is finally here! 🥳 So proud to finally release what I've been working on for 16 months! MeshBlend brings next generation blending to Unreal. Easy to use, fast and great quality! Available on Fab for #UE5 now! #gamedev #unrealengine

Incredible that SNW managed to break the fourth wall without technically breaking the fourth wall.

Obsessed with this photo of Mr. Rogers that looks almost exactly like The Onion sickos guy.

It's wild how many people who were like, "Lol you use WIKIPEDIA for research? Lmao." just a few years ago are now like, "Sure, I'll give most of my work and life functions over to the planet-eating machine that lies but is super nice to me!"

Some patterns I made, inspired by my recent travel to Europe. #sciart #nudibranchs 🐡🐙🦑🐋

I've been a bit creatively drained lately, thanks to the day job, but I've managed to spend a bit of time coming up with some more color variations of the #Aerodex logo... in case I ever need 'em.

my favorite step is always the rust.

I will not, with a razor to my throat, think of your "AI Agent" as my "teammate."

Well looks like it's #PortfolioDay! I'll take the opportunity to show off my amateur/hobbyist 3D projects — I'm not necessarily looking for work at the moment, but here's some recent pieces I've done for fun anyway! ArtStation: www.artstation.com/herda Website: www.herda.me

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

How strange, it seems like there's no amount of collaborating, segregation and humiliation of a child that would ever be enough for fascists. Who knew, Democrats, who knew?

He should probably focus on getting one in Earth orbit first.

The latest entry in the #Aerodex is the Vistalux 202 "Thunderhead," a light bomber design inspired by the Northrop flying wings and an obscure experimental plane called the "Horton Wingless." www.artstation.com/artwork/RKQZWW #skyfi #digitalart #blender #b3d

love how every time I see the word “woke” I get to be reminded that for maybe eight whole months out of the entire time I’ve been alive, making an effort to be kind to one another was trendy, and now we’re all going to spend the rest of our lives being punished for it
