why isn’t the future the way we thought it would be
Howdy! Here's an update to the last video, longer, with better music, way more detail, and VO. I hope you like it. 4K in the 🧵!
Yesterday's temperature topped 105° in Fresno. "Carlos" and team were working in the watermelons. "Our team is paid piece rate. The more boxes we fill the more we make. The person closest to the truck has the hardest job so we switch off. This is exhausting work." #WeFeedYou

Flight of the Navigator is 40! 🥳 Trimaxion Drone Ship, art by Edward Eyth:
Flight of the Navigator was released 40 years ago today! "In 1978, a boy travels eight years into the future and has an adventure with an intelligent, wisecracking alien ship."
Commission + opportunity to mess around with pixelart style textures
Re-sharing more art from a couple years ago, here was a Star Wars space battle render I made for ECHenry. The Republic Skipray Blastboat model is mine, the CR-70 was one of his. I made the explosion in embergen. Not perfect but came out pretty cool.
The fact that we're celebrating Star Trek 60 means that these beloved episodes are 30 years old already. You know, just for those of you who love to be reminded of the ceaseless march of time. 😉
Hello! Here's the latest from my Star Wars nonsense - I just finished up the Mon Calamari Frigate I started working on back in 2020, finally, and decided to make a quick video of it with some other ships that I'd made! 4K in the 🧵!

The circle of life is complete then, because the ship lists (specifically the list of Federation-class dreadnoughts) from the original Star Fleet Technical Manual are what inspired me to name the WC2 carrier Concordia. Gorgeous work here, btw. The TMP aesthetic will always be my favorite. 😍
Updaaaaaaaaates to my Mon Calamari Frigate... I improved the shape language of the landing bay to be more rebel-esque. I also added more cut in details to the main hull and replaced some of the auto-placed details with bespoke stuff.
Some lunchtime progress on my Mon Calamari Frigate - focused in on material, tweaks for near and far shots, and adding in a landing bay!
Soooo, I'm back on my Star War nonsense - this time, returning to a 5 year old project to create a smaller Mon Calamari ship, thinking about frigate scale. Tons of work done since I picked this back up!

WIP of my TMP-era Connie refit. I've driven myself completely insane with this model. Still needs details. Taking a break from it for a bit before I flip my shit. Props @howieeday.bsky.social for use of his texture atlas for the hull material. #startrek #3dmodeling #blender3d #scifi #spaceship
