I think after 3 big projects of mine I'll hop on zombie mercs project

And I have a lot of ideas to fuck up Scout's face or head in general. Then I'll start zombifying Soldier, also reusing his necromorph head (I'll start working on necro-Soldier after zombie Scout)

Classic zombie version, inspired with RE2R zombies

Thank god I saved the low poly version of mesh, so making shapekeys won't be a problem

About shapekeys, I've made the "mouth" close

Thanks! :D

What 53 hours (actually 80) of Blender do to a mfer.

Also rendering this made my PC shit itself, logged me out of everything, reset every browser and cookies settings and required a reboot before working properly again lmao.

Off to the next applied courses :3

Bro this thing has 2 simple materials with a simple Principled BSDF shader node each, just different roughness values, and already looks pretty decent.
Fuckin crazy...

When I don't know what to do in SFM, I usually do some lighting setup and sometimes make it so hard, that I wonder that Source Engine can do this

Meantime Blender actively dying when I try to do heavy lighting setup

This is raw render btw

4 hours so far, shaping up slowly but surely.
A great final project to utilise the most useful things you need in your workflow

Yeah the course I'm taking on Udemy is called "The Blender 2.8 Encyclopedia" and covers literally anything within Blender. Curves is another one of those crazy tools that are so incredibly useful

PlaytestDS @playtestds.bsky.social · 5d

Boosted through Blender's render engines.
Now it's onto the final course project.

After changing to Win11 cuz' I don't wanna pay for more updates, and I don't have the balls yet to switch to Linux x)

Happy (late) birthday to #TeamFortress2, the game that changed my life and opened opportunities, created friendships. I've been part of this community for a decade now, of the jump community for 7 years, played ETF2L, and over the last 3 years started seeing my TF2 friends irl.
Thank you ❤️

Happy Birthday #TeamFortress2 !
It is truly a unique game - not just a game, but a phenomenon for many people out there to express their creativity with for a long golden 18 years by far. I wouldn't be myself today without it in my life

Done with learning about UV Unwrapping and Cameras within Blender.

Just the Cycle engines left to do, then the final course project, and then it's off to the next courses to further enhance workflow and knowledge on character modelling and animation.
Another 300 lectures to go x)

And it really worked out :o
I must tinker with such textures in the future too.

PlaytestDS @playtestds.bsky.social · 6d

Yeah and you can just...do it in Blender. Don't need a third party program, don't need to tell yourself this is as far as sfm can go, nope. You just create what you need within what you model and whatnot with

I has created carbong foibah.
However, being almost done with the Node section, it will take me a while to get used to the endless possibilities and how to utilise everything properly.
Like...this was all made within Blender, just using Nodes. Fuckin goated program...
