I avoided adding a shoreline to the roller coaster scene (youtu.be/6Bv_ZcoLViE) because I didn't have a way to deal with the water meeting it. In an attempt to fix that, I added a case for objects that gradually enter the water. #blender #blender3d #b3d #render #cycles #procedural #geometrynodes

This computer terminal and cubicle was a Severance-inspired Easter egg in my roller coaster video (youtu.be/6Bv_ZcoLViE). The screen is still on because it just looks cooler that way. 😊 #blender #blender3d #b3d #render #cycles #loop #prop #turntable

I made these procedural trees for my roller coaster render (youtu.be/6Bv_ZcoLViE). They don't look *super* realistic, but they are pleasing to the eye, and I like the puffs of leaves. #blender #blender3d #b3d #render #cycles #loop #turntable

Some basic lounge chairs I made for the background of my roller coaster animation (youtu.be/6Bv_ZcoLViE). I started preparing to rig them to go up and down and then realized I didn't need to do that, so I just made two variants instead. 😅 #blender #blender3d #b3d #render #cycles #prop #turntable

Went down a rabbit hole today and ended up messing with this thing again. It looks pretty good, I think! #blender #blender3d #b3d #render #cycles #procedural #geometrynodes

Sometimes I go through my old work and it feels like it was made by a much smarter version of me. 😵‍💫

You couldn't see this object in my original rollercoaster video (youtu.be/6Bv_ZcoLViE), but it was there for shadow casting. You could see it in the VR version (youtu.be/FaQlKRlDPTc). I spent some time making it nice, nonetheless! 😎 #blender #blender3d #b3d #render #cycles #loop #prop #turntable

Retconning some of these props, but I can't help myself but to update them a bit. 😅 Anyway, here's a grill! These are from the rollercoaster animation I made a while ago (youtu.be/6Bv_ZcoLViE). #blender #blender3d #b3d #render #cycles #loop #prop #turntable

I was just looking at the "new games" list on my Xbox and the amount of AI slop there is concerning, to say the least. 🤮 #gaming #games #xbox #aislop

Note: if you load a recovery file in Blender, don't save over the original. It will move all your texture references to the temporary storage location where it saved the recovery file. 😵‍💫 #blender #blender3d #b3d

Here's another prop I made for my roller coaster animation (youtu.be/6Bv_ZcoLViE). Not super complicated, but the Adirondack chairs helped set the scene nicely. 😎 #blender #blender3d #b3d #render #cycles #loop #turntable #prop

Lately, I've been alternating between being very busy with work and feeling pretty unmotivated otherwise... So, here's a render of a prop I made for my roller coaster animation (watch here: youtu.be/6Bv_ZcoLViE). More to come! #blender #blender3d #b3d #cycles #loop #prop

It is really annoying how you always have to decline signing into every website with Google now. Like, no, this is the first and last time I'm probably ever going to visit this website. I don't need to sign in. I'm not sending you whatever information Google shares with you. WTF.

It's pretty annoying being inundated with so many ads for Meta's perv glasses. It's sort of funny to bear witness as they burn mountains of cash on a product we all know is going to be another massive failure, too. 😎

I finally got around to watching the trailer for Project Anglerfish, the Myst-universe prototype that Cyan put together a while ago... it hurts that they weren't able to get that one made. It looks really cool. If you've not seen it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvNG... #myst #riven #games #gaming

This thing is still kind of a mess but I'm having a great time working on it. 😍 #blender #blender3d #b3d #render #cycles #procedural #cyberpunk

I was fiddling around in Geometry Nodes and things started getting *really* slow... like 5 min from updating a node to seeing Blender refresh. Just too much geometry for it to crunch quickly.

Iterating on this some more! Added a (populated) moon to the sky, fixed the UVs on the building screens and added some videos, and changed the base mesh of the city to be less uniform. More soon! 😊 #blender #blender3d #b3d #render #cycles #geometrynodes #procedural #animation #loop #cyberpunk

I used to rage at physics puzzles in games. Everything seemed so unrealistic and randomly chaotic. Then I took a step back and realized that I drop stuff all the time IRL and I'm really just bad at physics in general. 🙃 #gaming #physics

I kinda want to play the re-make of Assassin's Creed Black Flag, but I just finished Mirage a few weeks ago and the idea of diving into another AC game right now just feels... bad. 😖

To celebrate the Fourth of July, I took the fireworks effect that I made for last year's Nodevember project and put it up for download on my website! 🎆 Get it here: martincrownover.com/blender-exam... #blender #blender3d #b3d #geometrynodes #shader #procedural #free

This Home Depot ad with Beckham in it sure does look like AI slop to me. 🤔

New PFP for me. My old one was from 8 years ago, yikes! 😵‍💫

I've been buying and playing digital games and other media for decades now... so seeing console makers go discless is not going to affect me much. It does get me thinking about the loss of accumulated wealth, though.

Here's the time-lapse for my final June Toons cartoon! Thanks again to everyone who followed along this year! 😄 You can re-watch them all on YouTube, here: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... #drawing #cartoon #illustration #art #digitalart #procreate #ipadpro #junetoons #timelapse

Here's my last cartoon for this year's June Toons project: Detective Rooster! Thanks to everyone who followed along this year. I hope you had as much fun as I did making them! 😊 #drawing #cartoon #illustration #art #digitalart #procreate #ipadpro #junetoons

Something a little different: I decided to dig through one of my old bins of Lego and see if I could put together an old set. This is set 1682. I can't believe all the parts were there! #lego #retro #90s #nasa
