Every so often I check back into No Man's Sky.. currently doing the expedition.
Main thought: does this new car really not have headlights??

Sneak peek at brick progress.. Started with following the lovely UV Grid tutorial series by @nodesandnoodles.bsky.social - then worked in some procedural displacement texture for stone variation.. Lots left to experiment with and resolve.

My dear friend is quite talented, and deserves more listeners.
(Dreamers will remember him as IansaneArtist - he's mostly composing these days)

Still making (very slow) progress with the cobblestones, but I needed a quick break.

Painted some 2k bricks in Krita tonight, will be doing an elaborate node setup for them.

Drink water, y'all.

Actual water

Coffee and tea are not enough for your kidneys

Essentially all of the combat encounters were against inanimate filth: dust motes, unfolded laundry, wrinkled blankets, and so forth. Deeper layers of the White Tower had harder encounters, and it was regular fighting and leveling as per game usual.

I do think it could be done visually and be fun

Been listening to all of Wheel of Time on audiobook (again - have both read & listened to all 14 multiple times before).

In early internet days, I used to play (and build for) a MUD called As the Wheel Weaves. Occasionally I think about making a graphic version of their novice chore fighting system

The mageochondria is the powerhouse of the party

Progress update on my cobblestone road material

Geo scattering failed me here, or more likely I just suck too much at math for this particular problem, so having to arrange all these rocks by hand like a real stone mason.
Props to those who do this in real life.

End result of my procedural cloud experiments - quite happy with this, it looks lovely in full 3D as well, with full gradient effects visible.

Back to playing with stones, now that the sky is fixed.

Figured out where the sky texture geo node tab was hiding... many hours of playing with procedural clouds.

Daaaamn that looks amazing O.O

Last time you'll see these rocks (and their future 8 companions) until they go into full cobblestone material scattering

Managed to get a fair bit of depth and detail, they're low poly and sharing bake maps.

Postcard from UV Hell, I'll be here for a good while

My new demoreel for 2026 featuring work from Blender created over the last few years. I'm looking for work and willing to travel almost anywhere. Please repost!

More practice with the high-to-low poly pipeline.. getting better

Low poly game-ready fbx version of the first cobblestone (9 more to go!)

This was my first successful dance with retopology

'From Above' A different perspective for me today. A misty sunrise from Glastonbury Tor. It was bitterly cold but very still.

Stone update

Got the geo node rock creator and procedural texture all set up today - tomorrow I'll make about a dozen different flat rocks to create a nice cobblestone road

Saw 3 ladybugs today..
Not sure what that means, but seems significant somehow

thank you! It's taking way longer than anticipated.. but we're getting there.

Working up courage to tackle these knotwork lines next

progress peek

finally picked an object to make, here's to a day of learning and practice

photograph of fitted woven socks, with pointy toes. They are not stretchy tubes of knit, but stiff fabric contouring the leg below knee as closely as possible with hard sewn seams

Cold enough today I put on some garb socks from my old #sewing days...
No, this fabric does NOT stretch, they're tailored via historical means. If I were less lazy I'd add the calf ties, but for now they are held warmly by sweatpants.
