Making some stuff for myself. Topology isn't perfect, but I learned a lot from this one! Very fun. #b3d
People are good, and generally have good intentions. But now and then you'll meet someone that's just objectively not, and they don't. And I think people need to hear that now and then, as an unfortunate reminder.
Self-affirmations I do when I wake up every morning: "You’re doing great work. Don’t buy that new camera." "Look at how far you’ve come. You don’t need a new camera." "All this work will pay off. Do not buy the fucking camera."
Another month in the books for the rileyb3d site. Asset and adddon downloads up almost 600% from last month! Thanks for using my stuff. I haven't even finished the Blender → Godot pipeline tools I think will be most impactful.
I'll miss this country. It's been inspiring and I've had a really memorable time.
It's a special day because you get a free upgrade to a free library. Today I'm adding a rileyb3d extension to get my growing asset library directly in Blender. It'll go live on the site sometime in the next hour. #b3d
I've decided to drastically expand my site with a language dropdown. This will continue to expand and refine. I'm lucky to natively speak a very popular language, but I'd love my site to be accessible to more people.
Some base mesh models of some characters in the game. Modeled by my friend Bhushan Jagtap (available for freelance I believe). Who can take a wild guess at which film these outfits are paying homage to?
This one time I quit my job but accidentally left a $20 texture subscription running on the company card. The next month they were super pissed to lose $20. $80 Billion is unfathomable. Also, side note: I can't tell, but if that's supposed to be the Sagrada Família, that's

Maxing out fidelity (DLSS5) is of 0 interest to me. I’ll take intentional pixels any day. It’s never been about needing more fidelity. Those who stand atop the future of this industry aren’t going to be the ones shitting out uninteresting frames. It’ll be the intentional games worth playing.
We're only halfway through the month, but am already seeing a massive increase in free asset and tool downloads on my site. I hope you're using them in cool projects! Happy to see it.

My Approach to Interior Lighting in Godot (with switches in Blender)
I found an approach to interior lighting I like in Godot. I don't love real time GI (too expensive in game) or light baking (too expensive in production) so I'm going with a technique using multiple l...

I've been a fan of DreamUV for a long time, but unfortunately I'm not smart enough to use all of it's features. I only ever use hotspot mapping. So I created a simple "Easy Hotspot" mapping Blender addon based on the same workflow. You can go download for free on my site. #b3d
With the crew in Barcelona this month, visiting my wife's old home. Beautiful and inspiring city.
First month of the new site is in the books! Over 230 free 3D assets added. Just getting started. Thank you!
Artist spotlight! Edward Lim. Someone I've had the pleasure to work with on projects over the last while. Check out his work! rileyb3d.com/devlog/3121d...

My site was down for a bit because I did a major overhaul. It's now totally transparent. Track my monthly donation earnings, earnings history, downloads, courses watched. It's all free. This will put my own Patreon out of business but that's ok. The world is better this way.
