Thank you! It definitely took me a bit to get over the quirks of zbrush. A lot of "why does it do it like this when every other program does it like this?!"

Fighting with a new piece of software is always part of the process.

I've embarked into learning zbrush, excuse the chrome texture. But this is the first project. Following along with tim bergholz's tutorials. I've got a project in mind after I really get the basics figured out.

The sock level gave me a good chuckle.

I really wish the via rail was better. The Canadian rail system has seen better days.

Starwars : Galactic Street Food Stand, James Bruner This was such a fun project, that definitely snowballed the more I worked on it. I decided to do this after seeing some amazing concept art concept art that Adrien Girod did for Star Wars Outlaws. Rea...

Finally posted the personal project I've been working on recently. Huge thanks to @kurobot.bsky.social for the amazing concept art, and @oddenough.art for the feedback to get me over the finish line. Lots of pictures and breakdowns in the link. www.artstation.com/artwork/6LrB8w

The last thing I wanted to showcase from the star wars food stand was the droid. All the different arrangements were fun to model. Especially happy with the torch heat gradient.

Absolutely beautiful game, Eidos did a great job with this. I really need to play again.

I just realized my typo. Was meant to say food... not good.

That sounds like a good time! I'm always just calling clients to deliver their furniture. I've gotten real good at leaving messages.

Something I've never done is good, so getting the chance to do it in my latest project was a lot of fun.

You are really selling me on the new version of marmoset! Going on the birthday wishlist for me!

The back piping and details were really fun to make for this piece.

I've been trying to solve this problem for months, and had written off as "that's just the way it is". I was days away from posting on artstation. The page was already created and I just needed to post It, after I finished my breakdown video. (The purpose of the livestream) Now I can fix it!

So today, I went over the model to see where I lost it. (Many saves ago back in December) Was able to reimport to the current version of the model. Then investigated further and found the normals were wrong on it. Making it appear completely black in the final renders.

Last night I did a livestream of a breakdown of my current project. Found a massive error in one of my UVs I was showing off. It was just missing. Which was frustrating and embarrassing but very helpful to go over the steps live and out loud. (Doesn't matter if anyone was watching)

Congratulations on the 10k. I think I started following you on twitter when you were posting those amazing references from the vintage bus museum? I've got a bunch of folders saved with your photos in it!

I've got this old fridge cart at work, and the beautiful grunge and wear on it is a great reference. @deswalsh.bsky.social you may appreciate this!

I feel like I've got bubble wrap in my joints the way I pop when I move.

He started purring as this post scrolled into view. I think you've given him an idea.

I've been following along with progress, and have been very impressed. Keep up the good work.
