Serious Moebius vibes here. Excellent work!

That DIDN'T use that much AI.

Google will get excellent publicity out of this. That is, until the next big company wants to do this, spends a million or two on setup, and then approaches Google to use their AI and find out that it's all bullshit. To be a fly on the wall when the C-suite drone responsible for this gets theirs.

The problem is that for years, pro-Israeli forces have accused any criticism of the actions of the Israeli government as antisemitism. It's similar to Republican bad faith MAGA "lawfare" BS.

I get the impression that these schools are run by administrators, not educators.

Things are already going from bad to worse. There is no plausible deniability apart from Republicans repeating lies over and over while nobody calls them out on them.

What crisis? The petroleum industry has assured the Republicans that climate change is just liberal nonsense. This has probably been reinforced by a huge cash bribe, but Trump is such a stable genius that nobody could influence him with just cash to literally set the planet on fire? Could they?

The whole country is actively being asset stripped and gutted for cash. America as a world power is gone.

And America knew what he was like. They had four years of his crazy crap and still voted him into a second term. Absolutely lost.

The problem is, that there is no push back from anyone in the US. There are a few voices, but most people seem to fine by this. Even the Democrats support a few of his actions. America has a huge problem and Trump is but a symptom of the disease.

America has already suicided. Just waiting for the poison to finish the job.

This reminds me so much of a level of Unreal Tournament.

As you do! Got to keep your girlies happy and safe.

For whatever reason, I've revisited one of my first projects from 2007!. A chibi version of the Big Daddy from Bioshock.No idea where this is going. PIcture on the right is Substance. The rest are from 2007/9. Not too bad for a first effort. Dig that Blender 2.45 interface!

This is my Chibi Big Daddy character I did nearly 20 years ago.

Also being a team of two for one mod, trying to get anything done as a lone wolf with a mountain of work ahead of you. I just can't get my head around it. On the one hand, you disagree with your partner on some things, but if left to yourself, you'd be working on this for years and years.

Don't give up, they look great. There is always next anniversary.

Even in my teens I'd struggle with that rate. God damn.

A thing of beauty. All those little imperfections on the surface glaze.... ahhh.

If you see this, post a ship.

USS Tecumseh, ironclad monitor, lost at the battle of Mobile Bay.

Many years ago, I made a model of the USS Tecumseh that sank at Mobile Bay when the Union Navy came to call. Just some American Civil War ironclad art from a few years ago.

At one point I was going to do an animation on the Battle of Mobile Bay, but there wasn't enough interest.

If you see this, post a castle.

This is a very simple castle I made for a client who was making an MMORPG - 'Titans of Time'. The castle is very low poly, but I've fed it into the crunching maw of Cycles with an HDRI and some bloom and it looks not too bad.

It's a term I use that probably isn't a common one. 'Hull' is probably more used as 'object' or sub-assembly. If I was modelling a train, then the boiler would be one hull, the wheels another and then the coal tender a third. You could break it down further, but that's the basic idea.

03.08.2025 08:41 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

No way would I even consider working on that as on 'hull'. I'm sure in Maya you can hide parts in one Maya file? So you can turn the body off in the viewport while you are working on the transmission, but you can flick it on to view scale and then turn it back off again?

The United States is finished. As a world power, as a world leader, it is done. Trump and his army of MAGA morons killed it.

You should think, but watch the messaging not hit anywhere near home at the elections.

Some sprites I did for a Duke Nukem Halloween mod that never got done.
