Trying to get moving on more portfolio work. So started with something small to start building on.

The goal is to make a better executed version of this piece currently in my portfolio. www.artstation.com/artwork/yJwlz5

Finished adding my Lot Subdivision tool to my personal addon. Made a quick example of what can be made, it'll be in the replies.

More lot subdivision work! Took me awhile to get here but the hard part is done? Next parameters, little geo clean up, and maybe make a modifier version?

More blender tools work!

Started scripting a tool based on SideFX's lot subdivision tool. I think I can see the path forward. Wanna make a geo nodes setup to have a non-destructive version as well.

I've been working on learning scripting for blender.

Here are some Shader Editor nodes I scripted to try and emulate how I make effects texture in substance designer. Far from usable but kind a cool.

Going to dive into some texture baking things next.

Been using blender a lot more this last year and I'm really starting to appreciate the software. Easy to use features like the asset library really help improve your workflow.
