Thanks, I'm using Tang-era China as the cultural foundation. Mostly foods that are consumed by commoners. the soup with scallions and ginger are staples from coastal communities which heavily feature nose-to-tail eating. i'll be covering other regions when i need to

RusticKey☕🍞 @rustickey.bsky.social · 2d

I appreciate that! And for context... no the game isn't a first-person soup drinking simulator. It's an ARPG with territory control elements, and food (especially regional food) has a core make-or-break tactical advantages in battles, especially in large armies. so yes it's important

that's perfectly fine though, i just like sharing things i made. if you don't enjoy them that's alright

RusticKey☕🍞 @rustickey.bsky.social · 2d

I just like making models man lol
also the assets are re-used for other things. this is just existing assets cobbled together. the soups are not created from scratch

"Fish Head Stew" with daikon slices and greens, fish offal, ginger, and scallions. 802 tris

Upcoming array modifier in #Blender 5.0 is AMAZING. No more fiddling with making circular arrangements #3d #b3d

can't believe i jerry-rigged a jeweller's loupe into a macro attachment (don't worry its only screwed on after the lens finished extending). it's a fun little thing

vertex painting is cool! works really well with procedural noise, and can be reused multiple times, each unique. here it is implemented via a procedural brick texture and the plaster can be painted on

tried pushing the frame-and-brace geonode prototype to its limit, looks like it works quite well

i spent HOW LONG making parametric roofs in blender?
... 3 days? this better be worth it
at least it works well though. i can rapidly create roofs now

Testing making modular building segments, and i think it's going rather well. i just need to figure out a good way to make procedural roofing

collection of things i've made so far. all are game ready (technically?) with baked details and relatively low tris count

Baking 32800 tris into 460 tris feels great. also the bucket feels great too I guess

Modelling some basic game assets so I don't turn mouldy while I wait for my PC's warranty claim

When you
1. Have to wait for your PC motherboard's warranty claim
2. Have both your laptops fail
3. Have work to do
The best thing to do is to roll up and become a gyro 🥙
