Week 1 completed! This is what I did. 1 February: Big Ball Cactus It's a big ball cactus... By "big," I mean "three meters tall, half that across, and spines that can kill a man. When I upgrade it to LOD B, I'm going to spend a while screwing with the spines. Right now they're… Read More »

I did this last year, and it was both fun and productive. So I'm going to do it again. This year I'm going to work on a combination of 3D models and their support code to make them useful as assets. What does that mean? It means I'll be posting the models and where necessary… Read More »

Continuous improvement is a thing for me. I am constantly taking classes and otherwise learning online, with plenty of hands-on application. This year I decided to try a more structured approach to my classes. I looked at the class schedule at my old school, realized Spring semester started in early January and ended in mid-May.… Read More »

More Game Assets

As you may have guessed, I've been making more game assets. They're all LOD A placeholders, but they're getting done. Here are a couple of flying saucers and one sawblade. The orange saucer is only about a quarter the diameter of the metal one, and the sawblade is about the same diameter as the orange… Read More »

I’ve Been Making Spaceships

Since I have nothing but time on my hands for the next couple weeks, I've been working on assets. This week that means ships for an as yet unnamed space shooter. If the shooter doesn't use the Rokkit engine, it'll probably be a rail shooter like Space Harrier. The advantages to a rail shooter are… Read More »

Despite my mobility issues, I am trying to get something accomplished. And really, what else am I going to do when I can't do much but lie in bed, sit at my desk, and occasionally drive Mama on an errand? Don't need both feet functioning to use a keyboard and mouse, and I'm hardly taking… Read More »

@!#?@! I’m bored. My mobility restrictions and the nature of my injury mean I’ve spent most of the last few days in bed. I’m allowed to shuffle around the upstairs, mainly to the bathroom, but I’m also allowed to sit upright at my desk as long as I can keep pressure off the sutures. What… Read More »

Long weekend and I'm recovering from yet another foot injury, so I'm spending some time on Monkey Business. Which means so far a lot of admin catch-up. I have projects going for Devil Monkey and Murphy Tech Services, and I can only do so much on breaks at work. On the upside, I can do… Read More »

Hey, I did it. 28 days, 28 3D models. And some of them aren’t completely awful, either. Several have definite potential for use as-is or after improving them with some more work. I think I’ll continue this, but with less models of higher quality and without doing it as some kind of internet challenge. Specifically,… Read More »
