Starting to test out my low poly skills for ground scenes. First pass isn't quite what I imagined, but it's a good start.
My #blender tutorials are getting interesting. Soon I'll have the base I need to achieve my artistic vision. Mwhuhaahaha!
3D modeling my kid's D&D character. It's a good way to test my skills. Good against tutorials is one thing, but good against the living...

Same dungeon room, now with torches and lighting.
Made my 42nd post on my writing blog/newsletter. In this one, I talk about my summer project and reading plans. I'm adapting one of my favorite short stories into an animated movie.

My April writing newsletter is up. I talk about how I realized I'm a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to art, and I'm good with that.

In gaming news, I used AI to help me set up Steam on Fedora KDE so we can get Deadlock going on the laptop. It works now, but runs like a potato, so I ordered more RAM. That seems to be the root problem. A swap file helped a lot though. Soon I'll be able to play with both kids at the same time.

Also messing around with the "wings". Since it will be landing on planets, I'm considering a lifting body style hull. Reminiscent of early NASA test planes https://www.nasa.gov/aeronautics/nasa-aircraft/lifting-bodies/

Deck 1 is mostly roughed in, so I started on Deck 2 and the support vehicles. I might need to double the crew size though. I added some people for scale. #Blender
Deck 1 is mostly laid out now. Still gotta do the bridge though. I'm having fun 3D sketching in #blender with simple planes.

@stargrace My kid loves the books and even has the cook books. She promises to make us a dinner with all the recipes. Someday....

@belghast@gamepad.club I ran around the house yesterday making the kids look at a almost totally dark phone screen. But that dark circle is the moon! And Earth and the Sun is on THE OTHER SIDE! Yeah dad, that's cool. :)

And with the basics in place, making a big dungeon is easy. I used this techniques a few years ago when I first went through the course to make the interior of a spaceship for a little animation.
Got my March writing newsletter out just under the wire. Not as much writing this moth, but I did model and animate a locomotive.

@scopique Point being, when I write, I find tools with fewer doodads to distract me works best for me.
Just posted my January Newsletter. A day later than usual, but oof, life. https://www.ingnomevation.com/newsletter-january-2026-ice-season/
Day job has been crazy lately, and I spent the past two months diving into the horror genre. Now time to get back to editing my WIP.
I'm still looking for good horror podcasts, either about the genre, or stories in the genre. I prefer the paranormal (x-files style) over slasher.

@rogeredwards@gamepad.club Great article! I've had a very similar experience on working with helpful colleagues and AI. We also generated a large database of tickets and solutions that helped everyone get better quickly. But that required everyone to actually write up their solutions.

@vbarreirojr@gamepad.club I'm sorry for your family's loss. I hope the wake helps everyone.
