Had some time to bake for the first time in a while, and made some really lovely sourdough brioche over the weekend. Might've benefitted from a bit of a longer proof at room temperature to become even bubblier, but pretty good for a first attempt

I didn't even know Avocardos had veins!
But wait, there's more! You don't need to slice open an avocado to start troubleshooting it!

I'm equal parts glad, and bummed out, that I have the kinda money where I can't just buy David Lynch's magnetic decal prop from Twin Peaks, his woodworking stuff, or his vynil collection...

Spent most of the day on this much smaller patch than last time, but put way more effort into breaking up the soil! Getting more dirt from the neighbours to fill in a few gaps, and planting more grass seed tomorrow!😁
Pic 2 is (most) of the stones we pulled out while breaking up compacted soil

Literally just randomly found out Disney's Illusion Island, a game I worked on a couple years back, is getting released on PC from a random conversation 😂

The boy and I were out for a walk late last night, as the hare turned the hill we live on into Silent Hill

Spending today learning software and not making anything particularly interesting (yet).
So here's a picture of my dog, in his corner of the office.
As you can tell, he's got a very ruff life.

If you thought all that folio work on the weekend meant I didn't make any bread, you'd be wrong.
I present to you my Wild Garlic butter sourdough boule

Or the last ever prop I made on it, and the most over the top tea spoon prop ever.
I really wanted that little bit of text that nobody will ever be physically able to see in-game to be visible XD

While I'm waiting for another iteration of the model with some minor fixes to upload, here's more weirdly awesome props I made for Floor 13, like the wonky sarcophagus... for the cult of Thot I think?

Also there was this pen asset I made, based on a limited edition fountain pen that was so pretty I had to talk myself down from buying it, because it was just obscenely expensive. Pretty proud of what I managed to get out of a 1k texture, and even fit in a pencil too!

Made the horrible discovery that there's a Sketchfab preset in Substance Painter, which gets the assets looking pretty close to what they looked like in-game. So I've re-exported almost everything, but on the plus-side, I keep finding weird little props I made for F13 like these teabags! XD

Kept finding little issues... I think I've finally tracked the last of them down, almost done with the first pass of the texturing!Then need to refine it and work on the background and lighting... but first, lots of bug fixing><

Almost there! Finished painting the first pass of the transparency on the building and interior, and baking AO, directional lighting, adding a curvature mask and gradient😭

Australia's hubris led them into the Emu War. Now another man steps up to make history, and get his ass handed to him by, coincidentally once again, a flightless bird

Made the dough last weekend but only baked it today - sundried tomato, parmigiano and herbs boule.

Went to the woods across the street for a walk, where we briefly stopped in a field of three cornered leeks (wild-garlic adjacent plant).
Gonna gather a bunch, and make garlic butter for some wild garlic sourdough boules later in the week
