been testing this new plugin for 3ds max that adds cavity overlay like in blender to the viewport but also screenspace reflections/global illumination and outline i looooove how much the shapes pop, makes it so much easier to work on stuff

itโ€™s my birthday today ๐Ÿ˜Œ if you want to do something nice for me today please consider giving a dollar to The Base Mesh: www.thebasemesh.com base 3D models for games, professionally madeโ€ฆ itโ€™s an invaluable resource to me and i tell all my students about it! support & love for asset creators ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿฐโค๏ธ

thebasemesh.comThe Base Mesh | 100% Free CC0 Assets- 3D Models - TheBaseMesh - Every model adheres to real-world scale and comes with basic UVs, so you can get to making those all-important creative decisions faster.

funny how doctors at the gender clinic say things basically like "ok just before we wrap the diagnosis decision up i have to ask you that this isn't just some fetish" after you have already established things like "i would literally rather never be perceived than wear menswear in public again"

like i am not a doctor but if someone feels that level of distress over the idea of wearing trousers instead of clothing considered near-exclusively feminine, that we are talking about some kind of a crippling medical condition and not some old stereotype that was never rooted in reality in practice

i managed to avoid it so long but today it finally happened and i locked myself out of my apartment, oops thank god i had my phone in my pocket because it's literally like 5 degrees outside and i wasn't wearing a coat (just taking out the bins)

feeling lately like "2008 financial crash hit and finland never quite recovered" is probably just as much here to stay as japan's lost decade turning into three & counting lost decades

Ported the UV Mapper & Texture Generator ID Software made for #quake 1/2 into a #blender plugin.

if there's been any upside to being off my hormones for a year and a half until I finally got my prescription a month ago, it's that it's not unpleasant to relive all those early HRT milestones for the second time like "oh yeah of course my skin feels tangibly softer now"

height map exploration in Substance Designer, baked down a proper G2 curvature-continuous fillet into a fully reusable gradient so I can get more CAD-like edges on completely procedural textures

Imagine Aseprite or another #pixelart program inside Blender? Pixel Perfect Pixel Art drawing and texture painting on top of the model in the 3D viewport and in 2D. Drawing, painting, selection tools, layers, texel density (pixel size) setup and density zones (multiple pixel sizes). #blender3d

โ€ผ๏ธ PSA for pixel artists!! If your image uploads are turning out blurry, please make sure you are NOT exporting your pixel art at 400% resolution. The Bsky WEBP compression algorithm severely blurs pixel art exported at this resolution, making it an unreadable mess. #pixelart
