rude boy for life
Île Thíbord, the city of opportunity

an aerostat platform 5 miles across, hovering in international waters

350,000 diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanderers wrapped in 7.5 million tons of Buckminster Fuller's horniest fever-dreams

all alone in the sky

second generation toon materials, linked from a master library file, working in the wild! (just the red and yellow so far)

this is then passed to a normalize and dot-producted with the mesh normal coords (with a bump added for stylistic reasons)

okay lads and lasses I think I've cracked it
position of the empty drives a vector
we subtract EITHER:
0) the local mesh position
1) 0,0,0 (effectively using the pure empty pos as a vector)
using a boolean prop on the empty (circled in white) to toggle the Mix Vectors node

prototype of a new dielectric-hardsurface toon shader

it has a key light vector controlled by an empty and separate tint controls for key/fill lighting, meant to be operated by drivers from a scene control empty
the fill tone is based on a diffuse bsdf so it responds to HDRIs

RE176V-9P Sifonaro
a civil firefighting variant of the Vestshiff Griffon (1st generation tanker, later a spotter as larger aircraft became available) that got accidentally invented while typing the wiki article
probably won't need it, but the model was easy to bash together

I really wish there was a way to deflate the UI in Krita.
The fonts are scaled down plenty small but most icons are too big and there is so much unnecessary padding in this layout!

Cloudwatch Prison

A huge lighthouse tower built on the promontory of a sea island, its light is visible up to 100 miles away. It serves as a "devil's island" for prisoners society wishes to forget, accessible only by airship. Inmates toil away maintaining the beacon, and few will ever leave.
