Ahoy! Time for a pinned post — I'm a 3D environment arts student, and last term, I Baja-blasted out a low-poly modular 90s Taco Bell kit for my portfolio class. TBH I will die proud at having figured out how to model a crunchwrap press. Onward to learning texturing!
Heya folks! Looking for some inspiration for my upcoming final project!
Anyone have a Bluesky list of stylized environment concept artists kickin’ around?

Oh my god.. a classmate (to whom I will be forever indebted) alerted me to the Y axis rotation restriction button and it IMMEDIATELY solved like 70% of my anxiety with ZBrush.
You guys. I'm finally able to sculpt without needing blood pressure meds on standby. 😭

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy
I was prepared to disagree, but I see the vision. The only rational response to modern living is absurdism.

We’re watching a shift where AI simulates the cohesion and reinforcement that used to require an entire online community. A single person can now build a complete parallel reality with nothing more than a prompt window. Which seems bad.

Final verdict on texturing in Mari: my condolences to film industry folks. My biggest sympathies to you all.
But hey, I got some texture maps out of the ordeal, and slapping them onto the jar in Maya made it look all purty. #3dart

I'd been using the same pre-slop version of PShop since 2019, and I accidentally updated it. 😭 Please tell me I can roll back...
The custom shapes menu — look how they've massacred my boy..
Who signed off on getting rid of arrows and ornaments? In favor of BOATS??

Folks. Help. The Mari clownshow continues.
I accidentally grouped a mask node in Mari and now I can't use it downstream. Even though it SHOULD be simple, I can't figure out how to ungroup nodes in Mari. Can anyone help? 😭

I take an irrational amount of delight in being tough for advertisers to pin down.
Like the last four ads I was served were for English lessons for Spanish-speakers, home reno services, Trump coins, and prostate checkup reminders.

10 years ago I had just finished high school and wrapped up a multi-year project of re-creating a ton of environments from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic in 3D. I'm working to get the files to play nicely with modern Blender and it's wild being reunited with them again. #fanart #mlp #blender

Think Tank wk 2 done and all I have to show for it is this.. think tank.
Fun project overall, but the fact that we constructed the brain by pulling individual verts around with Soft Select? Jinkies. 😬 I think I've become a hard surface convert.
Slapping mats on this baby this week, stay tuned!

I think that's part of the deep grief I've been feeling lately - the damage being done feels generational. With the current trajectory, I dunno if it's possible to unfuck things during my lifetime anymore.
Hard to reckon with that possibility without spiraling at least a lil bit.
