Another thing important to add, It can export to #Godot with premade materials, So that saves time putting the pieces together, Also Unity, UE5. without much work involved.
It can be installed on Mac, Windows, And #Linux

If anyone is looking for a alternative to #adobe #SubstanceDesigner I found an app called #MaterialMaker is pretty good! It needs attention and support to help it grow!
It's offline, Free, and fairly capable perfect for indies and hoppyist! #indiegamedev #indie #gamedev #godot
#godot3d

A Node graph plugged into a single node, A ball floating in the background that appears to be mud or dirt.
It's built using a software called "MaterialMaker" which works much the same as Substance Designer.

Happy Easter! Here is a Broken-Ratchet Easter special. White is watching TV to later get an unexpected Visitor, thinking it is Magenta. prt2 Will be posted soon
Toon Shader made [email protected]
#easter #comic #blender3d #b3d #blendersoftware #blenderart #scifi #worldbuilding #story

a humanoid creature sitting on a brown couch. Everything is warm colored. The creature is hairless but has tan skin, has two eyes and a small, dimpled nose, but has no mouth. theres speech bubbles indicating what the TV is showing. "Rai White Hīrā is yet to be found. The search is still ongoing in hopes of finding him alive or finding further evidence. The Green Party has been directing the blame on the recent marauder activity on the southeast coast, where Rai was last seen. There is no evidence backing up their beliefs, as he was attacking marauders who were roaming the area." The Creature replies to this, "Oh, the Marauders are getting bad... Maybe it is a good thing I got discharged when I did. I hope he is okay. But no one is alive this long...
But he is meant for it... right?" The creature looks sad and worried. Then the TV continues, "Today's top picks, funniest moments with celebrities! K-D's Party Crash!" The TV had stopped showing the news and had cut to another show. upseting the humanoid creature, "Hey... It's not supposed to change, yet I was still watching the News... I want to watch the News? The creature says, replying to the Show, interrupting the news

The Humanoid creature is still clearly unhappy about the interruption. The TV Goes on "There he is on the Balcony! Who let him up there no nobody knows! With all those people there, you'd think someone would care enough to stop him." The creature has a deep inhale "Hhh...
Me at that party again... Maybe I can just sit through it this time. everyone else thought it was funny," upset being at the party and now trying to make itself feel better about the ordeal. The show continues "Look at him cry!
He is trying to climb up the rails, getting ready to jump!" The creature sighs, failing to feel better about the situation. "They showed that all last month... I can't do this...
I need to find the controller." upset that the episode of the party accident is on rerun.

The creature had stood up, searching the couch for the controller to stop the show from playing. The show continues, "He is doing it now! he is standing up on the Rails! Look at that purple man waving his arms around at him." The Creature is upset that it cannot find the controller on the couch. "Callum said it was on the couch. Where did he put it?" Upset that it can not find the Controller where its friend had supposedly put it. The Show continues, "Aw... is he trying to stop him? Well he doesn't notice his purple ass" Suddenly a knock at the door the creature replies "One Second Magenta" Then The Show goes on " No! See, the purple man is cheering at him! Jump! Jump! Jump!
K-D is joining in now! Look at him, K-D is having a fit!" The voice comes from the Door, exclaiming who it is "It's Angel." The Show then Continues Yelling comically, "HE JUMPED!"

The Creature begins walking to the door, glancing back at the TV, the Show continues, "Oh, Dam, that must have hurt!" Then the Creature places its hand onto the doorknob. The show plays a stock laugh track

Still a WIP, but it's coming together great!
I have the animation mostly finished, including walking over some branches. They will be lore-dropping as they walk through the forest (Indie Voice Acted)
When finished, they will have jackets and bags.

This is a WIP of all the characters, Sekeyro (Black'n'white almost off the screen), Snow the white one, and Dash the brown bat. This scene is going to be them talking and conversing, so not much work is going to be in the background
They are on the way to the skeleton area.

Two are on all fours, they look similar to dogs. One is black with white spots, and the other is solid white. And the third is bipedal and looks similar to a bat but is as large as the other two, They are all walking in a line following the black on.

WIPs!
I made some new Trees to replace the old ones, They look much better! I replaced the first ones in the jumping-over scene.
The outside house scene is coming along quite nicely.
#b3d #3dart #toonshader #raindownstudio #indie #artwip #blender3d #blendersoftware #worldbuilding #indiedev

An old abandoned two-story house, with the gutters broken and hanging down, The roof of the porch is leaning by a fallen tree crushing it, Two of the top floor windows are broken by the tree. And half of the house has plant growth across the top of it. A Old car that looks similar to a 1940s Packard can be seen taken over by rust and plant life.

Two creatures are walking away from a fallen tree. They look similar to dogs as they walk on all fours in a forest with large trees, mushrooms, grass, and foliage.

Outside of the House, Just need some final touches to the ground and the house.
After Snow uses her magic, they see an abandoned house that wasn't there before.
A Car, Something they had never seen before.
which raises more questions than answers.

Oooooo! When will we see the PfP updated for this new style?! This looks like a Mona Lisa for future generations!
Also, you can totally get a job at Disney, given how easily males and females can be told apart! That's a big improvement! Beautiful!

(WIP Pic) After a short walk, the group sees skeletons of various species (Context: These are like human skeletons to them)
Though no one ever goes through this area, no one has ever been this far into the forest. Where did the skeletons come from?
#b3d #raindownstudio #indie #blenderart #3dart

A Cartoon 3D Image of A burned fallen tree, scorched within a radius, and an animal skeleton similar to a dog trying to climb over it are scattered. Bones of animals, some of which look similar to dogs and others of which look similar to large bats, are also scattered. The ones within the radius of the scarched are all burned. The ones that are outside of it look normal. They look as if they died running orr were pulled back by their leg and died.

Here it is! The animation remade with new animations and models! Done by the 27th!
For now, I'm taking a break from this scene but will add more to the animations. This will be an Indie Animated Series, possibly releasing the first episode before 2026!

Thank you @strangebaldman.bsky.social !
this is one of the main ocs of the project
They were planned to be Q-pedal and have very limited bipedal, But after they were remodeled they look so cool standing bipedal! They will be like this more often.

When a creature gets a mark from a god
They get some abilities, But they don't make others sick, Unless it's 'Arcane'
Sun = Fire/Light
Weather = Thunder/Lightning, Wind
Magic = Arcane
Seasons = Temperature
Water = Wetness (Ooo)
Among others. Unicorns get the most from this.

In the project, Unicorns can be born by other unicorns,
Or as a side effect of the mother being exposed to magic.
They will always be a random species. And the non-unicorn mother can die in the birthing Or as the fetus is growing.
On top of this.
#writing #worldbuilding #storywriting #b3d #fantasy

Most Unicorns went into isolation after The God of Magic burned the bridges. All contact with their kingdom was cut.
All contact with their kingdom was cut.
Now a few unicorns are outside and the magic has dropped significantly.
Still, some remain, and some are born as a side effect of magic exposure.

There, in pregnancy, a non-unicorn being exposed to magic can cause a species to give birth to a hybrid or a species that is completely unrelated.
A Wolf giving birth to a Bat or hybrid. These will always be unicorns, But most don't make it long after being born. And often the mother or child dies.

Unicorns always give birth to random species. And will always be a unicorn.
They have a higher chance of living. Most especially the Non-Unicorns go to certain gods that can help. The god of Rituals can help cure magic sickness and ensure the infants live among a few other gods (will list later)

Magic has consequences for everything around the user And can hurt everybody involved including the user.
Part two of this post tomorrow,
#blender #b3d #writing #worldbuilding #toonshading
#blendersoftware #storywriting #fantasy #fantasywriting #wip
#storywip #unicorn #horrorcartoon #analoghorror

Unicorns in this project can be any species.
Unicorn by translation is 'One-Horned'.
Bats, Wolves, Anything can be a Unicorn.

Magic is like radiation, Whenever magic is used it radiates.
This can cause side effects. Unicorns are more resistant.
But even they have a threshold.
Too much magic, Even from their own bodies, Can cause sickness.

Magic, Like radiation clings to things for a time after being emitted, Old ruins are plagued with it. And certain materials emit it. When something uses magic it stays in the area, And everyone in the area can get sick.
Including the user. This can cause the area to change. Silhouette figures like the old ruins appear. Dead animals move And speak.

Eventually, The area will be 'clean; unlike the ruins, Which stay the same.
Unicorns need the God of Magic's Mark to use True Magic abilities.
But, Those who have other Marks can use those abilities of other Gods.
With a lot less impact on the environment. Most do that or try to

Sorry for the inactivity
Will have something posted tomorrow!

The Unicorn Wolf continues trying to pull her people back together, Learning how to be a Goddess fixing what's broken weights more than the moon. And the rest of the gods are trying to help but even they are still learning how to do things.
The Godkiller is still out there.
