[June] Recap #31

Everydays Project #983-1012

I used Mecabricks-based models (which I imported into Blender) all month to story-tell and build some scenes and create some 3D graphics. Part-way through the month I also learnt how to use GarageBand so I started adding my own short music clips to my animations.

Also small note that whenever I use an HDRI, I have been including a link to the public skybox by www.blockadelabs.com at the bottom of that image, if you’d like to see the entire 360.

Day 983- Toys

Just over here playing with toys like the adult child that I am. 🤣 Puer aeternus is strong in this one.

Day 988- Legacy Flower Path

“We do know that by 1955, the slotted brick color palette had been standardized to mainly Red (21 Bright Red), White (1 White), Blue (23 Bright Blue), Yellow (24 Bright Yellow), Green (28 Dark Green), and Trans-Clear (40 Transparent).”

Day 990- Customized Minifigures

Dogue requested floppy ears and a custom paint job. Slightly customized the textures of Fael’s hat and cast. And re-meshed Dogue to be able to move her tail. And rigged both of them with armatures. Whew!

Day 999- Time & Space

Adapted a geometry nodes trick I learnt from @ducky3d to disappear all the big blocks (and appear the stepping blocks) within a certain proximity of the characters and make it look as if they are tunneling through bricks. 🤓

Day 1010- Golfing for the Presidency

Very happy that both old goobers were able to discuss their golfing abilities during the debate last night. It was definitely one of the issues I was personally most concerned about. 🤡
