On this, the eve of Flow taking home an Oscar, I want to note that Blender exists in its current form because after Ton Roosendaal spearheaded writing it, released it as freeware, had his company dissolve, tried developing it as shareware, had the company developing it go bankrupt, and built a non-profit foundation to crowd-source funding for it... Enough people stepped up to fund it that it still lives.

It's a hell of a testament to a software author---and a community's---insistence that in spite of market evidence to the contrary, the software is good and worthy of continued existence.

All done! Took 90 minutes to render, on the dot.

I sorta want to make a 60fps version, maybe at half speed. But that would mean 4x the frames as this one, and I'm not ready to devote 6 hours of render time to this.

Not bad for a half-day's work! 😎

Other than the fresh new default, 46 will come with a fresh set of wallpapers to pick from. Ready for some new pixels?

Between instagrams and mastodons and all the social networks, I figured I need a cardboard box to store all my pixels in. Perhaps it'll outlive them all, perhaps not.

I added the remaining detail to the Piano Key rig, a finger👇

I remapped one of my #MidJourney renders onto a simple #Blender3D model to create a simple prop, perhaps for set-dressing.

I broke it into components and then animated the camera so you can see the perspective changing.

This is just a proof of principle demo, but I think it does work.

Hi I’m msd!
(he/they)
I make music🎸🎮🎤, take photos📸, + run a cat rescue/recording studio with my partner Della in southern New England.

I’m also learning 3D art and making weird little adventures of a bird wizard in Blender - which is mostly what I post here!

That said, I can be hired for all sorts of things!
Need composition or gameboy/guitar/vocals for your project? I got you!
