Updated my Cammy model with full texturing and grooming!

Loved learning Substance, XGen, and Renderman for this!

#3dCharacterArt #SubstancePainter #Cammy #StreetFighter #Maya

3D model of Cammy from Street Fighter, made to look like a stop motion puppet made of different fabrics. The body is a coarse linen, her bodysuit and hat cable-knit wool, and her hair is made of felt.

Backside view of the model showing off her braids

Close-up of the face, showing the eyes as painted glass

Closeup of the hip and right hand, showing the glove made of cotton and details of the coarse linen on the skin.

I worked with a lot of these folks back when I was at Respawn, and I can't praise them enough. If I wasn't super happy where I am now, I'd be jumping on this myself.
Go apply to this, tell your friends to apply!

I kept Des's photo sitting on my computer for a bit before seeking out more references from Abney Park to use for figuring out my own cemetery stone material as my way of learning Substance. He's a treasure trove of material references, and I'd have never discovered Abney Park otherwise!

Full rendered stone material on a substance preview sphere. Mottled grey stone with variations in the darkness and roughness. There are a few large divots from damage. Dark green algae cover much of the lower third, and the top has a patch of crusty lighter green lichen.

I've never watched Buffy, Game of Thrones, nor Breaking Bad.

Hannah Fearn @hannahfearn.bsky.social · 10d

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

I always thought it was supposed to sound kinda French, like "beh-oolv". But it's pretty neat having some well acted official pronunciations for everything now.

Meri Mayhem @merimayhem.bsky.social · 15d

Ooooooh, so this is the machine they were raging against.

Meri Mayhem @merimayhem.bsky.social · 15d

We've really hit a point where unionizing is absolutely necessary to have any amount of job security in the industry now.

Meri Mayhem @merimayhem.bsky.social · 16d

Always love these little tutorials of yours 🖤

Another school term done, another project to show off. Really had a lot of fun with this one.

Based on art by the toy designer Valerio "Dreelrayk" Buonfantino, one of my favorite Cammy designs mixing together her classic and Alpha looks.

Thanks! I spent a lot of time trying to tweak that to look as close to real felt as possible and get all those little fly-aways :D

Meri Mayhem @merimayhem.bsky.social · 16d

Reference sheet featuring Adreena Grubb's stop motion puppets that really inspired this look!

Original concept art by Valerio "Dreelrayk" Buonfantino, and the base model from earlier this year.

Looking forward to a trend of Gen Alpha making horoscopes out of youtube vids and tweets from their birthdate.

Meri Mayhem @merimayhem.bsky.social · 19d

Just mix in some female mechanicus as attendants to amplify the sapphic undertones.

I liked Renshuu for polishing up my rusty Japanese

Newsom sucks, the definitive megathread

Jay Stevens @jaystevens.me · Mar 6

I try to avoid posting politics on main, and I promise this is a one-off.

But given how much I cannot stand goddamn Gavin Newsom I have decided I am going to🧵 about it so I can have something to reference in 4 years when we're wondering how the Dems lost again

Kelsey Atherton @atherton.bsky.social · Mar 5

Gavin Newsom would have put down the Bell Riots with tanks and napalm I can tell you that much

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like

"A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act."

fuck yeah

Kenya transgender rights victory hailed as African first

Just saw the Knights of Guinevere pilot and liked it, definitely has me wanting to see what story will unfold! A little bit on the nose in some aspects, but those parts are also very warranted. Amazing job @danaterrace.bsky.social & @glitchprod.com !!
