First lighting test. Simplified textures so they are not quite so distracting. I am happy with the way it looks!

Now that I got a bit of an area laid out I can get to some movement cleanup.

Environment laid out with #Crocotile3d. and running in #Gdevelop.

Not as much free time during the week but I am trying to knock some little things off my to do list. I decided to go with a cleaner style for this bench as I am thinking of using a toon shader.

I have had the idea for these guys to be one of the enemies in the game. I wanted to get the concept down while it was still fresh in my head. I am a little ways of from character modeling but wanted to keep it simple for low poly.

Met my goal today! Finished the hallway section, really happy with the way it turned out. With objects #Crocotile3d reminds me a lot of using Halo Forge, but easier to manipulate the objects.

Next on the agenda for the week is random objects.

Spent the day working on some low poly 3d stuff. I am really liking the way this is turning out. Still a work in progress.

Trying out #Crocotile3d hoping after I get it set up I can use it as a simple level editor. Goal is to get the hallway sections done tomorrow.

Spent a good chunk of the day working on the project. A lot of simplifying my code and such. I think this project might have legs. There is a lot more to it then I have shared I just don't want to get ahead of myself. Hoping soon to have more to share here. #SoloDev

Got around to making a new model today. I added some of the detail as the texture this time to try and keep the polygon count down, so it is not so hard getting it into the game. Now back to work on the #Spacegame

Had a little time so I did end up going through with it. A little asteroids game with the models I made! No polish but pretty much all there.

Really wanted a classic saucer for this series. It came out pretty good. Since I have a good gunner ship and a ufo. I think I might make a couple asteroids just to throw together an asteroids style asset pack.

Holy cows it has been a minute since I have been working on things. Going spaceships for a bit, a bit out of practice but it is a good start.

I have been getting back into hand drawn art a bit more. I brought some of it I to Unity, and I like how it's looking.

I was going for something a little simpler, but ended up getting into making this guy. I am going to use this guy for testing getting the model transported to blender.

Tried to do a bit more of a detailed monster today. Still as I am learning the software I got this done faster than I anticipated.

So trying something new to give myself a bit of a challenge. I left this model in a pose to see if I can rig it at some point.

Still working on things!

I love you all! Happy yule, if you are in a cold place, put an extra log on. Stay warm out there

Todays monster is a little worse for wear. But he is on the way to help. This one has a lot of small parts so I am curious to see if it prints

I honestly thought about it. I designed it with keratin of the claws in mind. Luckily, I am designing for printing, so the form is more important than the render 😀

I have gotten a good amount of ideas for monster through. I am going to take some time to print and paint a few of them. Soon I will be working on the stats and the rules. I have not said much about the game yet. But it is a table top arena battler inspired by monster battle games. For now ;)

Dillon @froglake.bsky.social · Dec 9

Trying to hit a level of detail that is just slightly above Pokémon while keeping the models cartoony. Also trying to bring some cute to go alongside of the horror monsters.

I'm going to take a break today to play some Caves of Qud. It's good to refresh the creative juices sometimes. See you tomorrow!

Today's Monster. I didn't have any ideas in mind when I started today. I have a lot of plans but am still working up to some of the more complex ideas. I kind of needed a break so I just started adding shapes and this is what came out.

Sure that is alright. I am currently working on another model so my responses may not be timely.
