A Blender render and ambient song inspired by Halo 2's The Oracle mission.</p>

This is a really cool mission in Halo 2, you go to a gas harvesting facility surrounding the gas planet Threshold, which is also the planet near the ring you are on in Halo 1. This render and this ambient song were inspired by the vibe I got playing the game again recently, with my imagination influencing and emphasizing the parts i really enjoyed about that.</p>

Halo has so many awesome scenes and structures. A lot of the Forerunner structures you visit in the games leave you really wondering how or why they were created. There isn't much info given in the game itself, but there is enough to make me curious how this station is hanging from a cable, and to ask myself why. Then I just start to imagine all the ways and reasons why that's the case. Big fan of Halo's art style, it's very inspiring to me.</p>

So feel free to download this song I made and give it a listen, I like it a lot.</p> Higher quality MP3 download: </a>

Another ambient song thing I made while I was sad.</p>

</a>
</div> </div>

Made this song while I was feeling down in the dumps. Also including a remaster of a song I made last year. It was very very quiet, so I made it louder to fit with this new song.</p>
They're a bit harsh on the ears sometimes, but there's only so much I can do with the shitty recordings I made.</p>

I used my tape machine for both of these tracks, bringing them into the physical world as part of the process. You can do this with software plugins, but I find that using my (mediocre but still useful) hardware is a very fun part of the process that I enjoy doing. There's a lot of discussions to be had about gear acquisition syndrome and the mental blockage that capitalism induces in us, but I also find that certain pieces of hardware can be built or located for affordable prices. These pieces of hardware influence what you do with your music in some way, and maybe have personal history for you, but ultimately what matters is just actually going and making music even if you don't have gear. You can make music from anything and record it with anything that records. For me though, part of the fun is building my own gear and modifying things I find at the thrift store to make music.</p>
Also I've been working on a lot of stuff behind the scenes, learning a ton about things. I've been busy with college as well, but I still have every intention of uploading stuff here as time goes on.</p>

Lately I've been accepting more change into my life again, even though changes are a scary thing for me a lot of the time. Making art has been my outlet for a lot of the worry, I just haven't had time to upload anything. Rest assured, there will be more to come in the future.</p>

I've been playing around learning about how to create music with Reaper, these are the primary results of my efforts the last couple weeks. I made a lot of rough sounding songs earlier as experiments, which I may release later separately. Ever since I was a kid I've wanted to experience the joy of creating music that inspires, and while this is a small step into that direction it does absolutely feel like a proper step. I'm very proud of myself and I genuinely like these songs I made.</p>
These 4 tracks are also experiments, but more focused on song writing and mixing/mastering. Now don't get me wrong, these are still amateur creations, but it's stuff I feel proud about right now. They are still inconsistent in terms of the sound quality, mix/mastering and my writing skills, but you gotta learn somehow.</p>
You'll have to forgive me for the inconsistency, Reaper ended up crashing without saving a backup while I was reworking the master for the second time, so this is going to be the original master that I made on the 21st of March. In an effort to stop wasting time on old projects I'm just going to release them as-is and move on to some new songs where I can use what I've learned from these.</p>
Feel free to download and distribute these songs to people.</p>

Bits and Pieces

2026-02-21T09:18:01+00:00

I'm willing to bet that this song I made is probably the weirdest thing you've heard today</p>

</a>
</div> </div>
</span>
this is a really weird song made mostly while I was under the influence of the leaf, but I do like it honestly. It has some interesting parts. Sometimes I get in the mood to just throw shit together in a DAW and play around with effects, I like textures and rhythms.</p>
This isn't a super pleasant song to listen to, but clearly I'm proud of it for some reason. This is not the art that I would make in a perfect world, but this is the art that I can make right now. One of the biggest challenges I've faced in life is getting over perfection. This song wasn't made for others to listen to, but I wanna share it anyways. Feel free to download it.</p>
There is lots of inspiration to find in other people's weird music too.</p>

A Pound of Flesh

2026-02-11T20:22:13+00:00

I'll be taking it back now.</p>

</a>
Gay pride erupts from the ashes of my christian childhood, like a Phoenix. Birds are also really cool. I should work on that bird robot again.</div> </div>
</span>
Vent post warning:</p>
Out of Christian hate, I flourish into a gay furry. The Bible is not a holy scripture, it is to justify abuse.</p>
Organized religions and their requirement to abuse and control caused life-long trauma for me and millions of others. The best thing you can do is to just keep being gay as fuck and believe in something that actually truly matters, something that moves you forward. I believe in myself and my art, and that's what ultimately saved my life.</p>
In other news, Edmund McMillen's Mewgenics came out yesterday, I've already put almost 15 hours into it. Pretty good, he's still a cow on a trash farm though. (it's a fantastic game)</p>
also just noticed that this definitely has some influence from the Tron poster art since Tron (1982 and 2010) was a cool movie to me as a kid.</p>
Made entirely in Blender's shader editor and compositor.</p>

Return Portal

2026-02-09T12:22:56+00:00

An ornate portal room, containing the pure essence used for dimensional travel.</p>

</a>
</div> </div>
</span>
In this realm many other magical rifts are present, all of which have similar structures around them. It is unclear what purpose this location originally serves, but it is clear that these orbs contain energy which allow for travel between this unearthly hubworld and a more normal physical dimension. Each portal places the traveler in a unique but identical location every time, both entering and leaving. Some of these portals return to Earth, others will lead you to certain death. Some will take you on unimaginable adventures in beautiful alien worlds.</p>
This is more of a shader material fun project than hardcore modeling, I like how it looks.</p>
I also decided to overhaul the Read More button to be more visible. It should be easier to use on mobile devices for both left and right handed people. I also added the PLUM Keyboard</a> to the keyboard collection.</p>

A Still Moment Between Chaos and Finality

2026-02-05T05:39:54+00:00

Half life fanart I made using SDF Modeler and Blender.</p>

</a>
</div> </div>
</span>
The state of Black Mesa Research Facility in Freeman's wake is something I find myself wondering about. Imagine you're an injured scientist who fell unconscious during the chaos which Gordon causes. If you're "lucky" enough to survive, you would find yourself in a crumbling concrete labrynth. The air is heavy with concrete dust, explosions and fire smoke. This scientist's final hours would be spent in this scene, before the complete destruction of Black Mesa with nuclear detonations.</p>
This is an experimental piece to use some of my own models, shaders, and doing all my post-processing in Blender. As much as I enjoy using darktable, it adds a bunch of additional steps to my workflow for creating a finished image. When I'm making a render I want to keep all my work inside of Blender, nothing worse than needing to dance around between programs. A focus of this project was to heavily use the render passes to create non physically accurate shading for my renders. Sacrifing pure accuracy to reality in favor of a more focused vibe is extremely important to learn. I really love physically based rendering, and I love realism, but I also really love the exagerated realities in the sci-fi I like.</p>
I made the HEV Charger with SDF Modeler</a> SDF Modeler is a free program for creating models using SDF volumes. What this means for artists is that you're free to combine and subtract primitives smoothly from each other, without concern for mesh topology.</p>
I find SDF modeling to be a very promising tool in my toolbox. It's useful for rapidly developing concepts with as little friction with topology as possible, and the barrier to entry is as simple as understanding how to merge a couple shapes. The output topology of this process is not immediately usable with the subdivision modifier, remeshing it using whatever method works best for you is often required. The dense mesh does make it very easy to sculpt detail into, which is what I did to smash up the base model.</p>
</a>
output of SDF Modeler, which is easily manipulated with sculpting tools</div> </div>
I have experimented with SDF modeling in the past, you can check out my Friend Finder 300</a>, where I used Blender's metaballs to create an organic shape.</p>

additional thoughts on the ff-300 and the term "game-ready" in general</strong></p>
If I were to redo the friend finder, I would add a few more small realism details (battery door, status LEDs, ports, a label maybe) and also make more aggresive cuts to the triangle count. It is important to consider the object's intended scale and proximity to the viewer when making decisions about the low-poly mesh. For a proper "game ready" model, I think this is a shifting goal.</p>
Something I'd like to comment on is my use of of "game ready" as a buzzword for certain things I modeled in the last 3 years.</p>
My point here is to acknowledge the fact that I have misunderstood what "game-ready" really means until just within the last couple months. The friend finder 300 wasn't that long ago, but even since then my perspectives have expanded on the artistry and skill that dedicated video game artists demonstrate. I wanted to latch onto a term that represented the art that I feel inspired by. While what I made is cool and of good quality, it lacks the fascinating resource-saving tricks that game artists keep in their minds. This knowledge is built up over time and through experience, like anything.</p>
Additionally, game-ready implies a sort of plug and playness with the targeted rendering engines. It would have packed PBR and mask textures, usable UV layouts, UDIMMs, LODs, maybe a rig. These parameters will all change depending on which game you've optimized this for, which engine it's rendering in, and maybe even the locations that this object was designed to be rendered in. If we look at the term from the bare minimum perspective, what game ready seems to imply is that the model will probably import into Unity fine. This is the flawed definition of game-ready that I had since the start of my learning 3D art. I admire video game artists, and part of me has wanted to be one since I was a teen, so maybe all of this was me coming to the realization that I have a lot of unfulfilled childhood dreams which are now actually within my reach to make happen.</p>
All of this (my art, but also exsitence) took (and will take) a lot of work, but it's absolutely worth it to me. I cannot explain what drove me to actually pick up art for real in 2023-2024, but in a time where I truly felt at my lowest, my mind found respite in Blender somehow. Art is mandatory for our minds, love and expression is what it means to be alive.</p>
a little bit of a 🍃-induced yapping post, but it's good to do that. Thanks for reading, if you have animals make sure to give them lots of pets and water.</p>

Made for the blenderartists.org 10 Cubes Challenge</a></p>

</a>
For the 'animals' prompt.</div> </div>
</span>
The Blender Artist's forum is not perfect, but events like the 10 Cubes Challenge are something that I view as a massive positive in the world of art, and the forum specifically. This is a no-stakes 'challenge' where you make one (or more) of the 10 prompts, with the primary restriction that it must be made with 10 cuboids. The rules are simple and flexible; This is a simple challenge meant to inspire.</p>

I highly recommend that everyone</strong> try the 10 cubes challenge. Like the organizer says,
"If you are tired and worn out, just take a little bit of time and do one prompt. Any prompt at all. You can just make one up too… Limit yourself to 10 cubes and make an art. You will feel better when you are done, You might even want to make another art."</blockquote></p>

As a blender artist of about 3 years currently, this challenge is an excellent way to bring back the simple fun of modeling for me. For a beginner, this is a realistically achievable challenge that you can do just to have some real and basic fun with modeling and composition.</p>
How do you make a shape with only 10 cuboids? What embellishments do you add to the basic cubes to spruce up the final render? There's a lot of creative ways to add details into the model when you completely restrict your access to the modeling aspect of Blender.</p>
The 10 cubes challenge allows you to dip into things you may rarely use or have never used at all before, but it also allows you to do the bare minimum and still feel good about something you composed and rendered yourself.</p>
</a>
</div> </div>
I technically bent the rules a bit to fit my goals, but that's the whole point of the challenge anyways. Give it a shot, have fun, and share your art.</p>

A sort of tribute to the humble 2n3904 transistor. First produced in the mid 60s, it's still widely available today for hobbyist like myself to use. I've been using dozens of them I have for testing amplifier circuits and things like that. I think I've thoroughly burnt myself out on electronics for now. I kept failing, and the learning curve for this stuff is quite steep to me.</p>

a lot has changed since last year, if you go back to look at the first knob post</a>.</p>
That old post is much different, more formal, more concerned with propriety. In this last year I've felt liberated from restrictions in my mind, even in the current circumstances of the USA and pressure in places of my life. I have direction and some inklings of dreams for my future now.</p>
I've improved as a person, I've learned things about myself I never would have expected over the last year. I've advanced my understanding of computer graphics further. I've started to really develop a feel for what kind of styles I like to emulate, and tuned into my inspirations even more.</p>

Feeling lazy for today, these are some textures I made a while ago.</p>

</a>
</div> </div>
</span>
I made these textures in mid 2024 as an experiment in capturing textures from reality. I don't like these much now, but they are important in my journey of learning about texturing in 2024. These were taken on my DSLR and then edited with darktable to get these images ready for being turned into tiling textures. I used Krita to make them into tiling textures. Then I use Blender shader nodes to do some image processing on them and create a PBR texture set from the image. You could do this with a standalone program called Materializer if you want as well, although it hasn't been updated in a long while. The top green metal texture was captured from the dumpster behind one of my favorite tex-mex restaurants, and the two below were taken from a heavy-duty underwater pump that had gone bad and needed to be fished up.</p>
</a>
i slightly reworked this one right before posting, blending in some procedural elements to increase detail</div> </div>

I'm creating procedural textures by using SDFs to create the square + icons. There are no image icons used in this render.</p>
Geometry nodes are used for the instancing and billboarding of the icons.</p>
Rendered in realtime using EEVEE.</p>

Knives going Skyward

2025-09-12T18:59:35+00:00

Inspired by one of my favorite bands</p>

</a>
</div> </div>
</span>
I was imagining some pretty cool stuff while listening to music, this is what I managed to make.</p>
Green</a> was the song that inspired what I saw, and it's a fitting name if you know what I mean</p>
Don't forget that bandcamp has no volume slider, so don't destroy your ears on accident</p>
WKGS isn't around anymore, but the music that's been released on the bandcamp is really cool if you like metal.</p>

Digital Tape

2025-09-09T09:28:42+00:00

These little cassettes are a fascinating late-term tape technology, and they're a lot smaller than you'd expect.</p>

</a>
Grid lines are spaced 1cm.</div> </div>
</span>
The model is based on Sony's NT cassette format</a> introduced in 1992. My model omits the Sony and NT logos, although otherwise this model should be fairly accurate to a real copy of this tape. There's just one major problem with the model; I severely miscalculated the thickness of the tapes, which I only realized once the project was completely finished. I could fix this, but I don't want to do all that.</p>
</a>
Wireframe is a mess, but it works. No point wasting time on perfection.</div> </div>
This project was heavy on modeling and texturing. Turned out well despite its flaws, and the result is pretty satisfying. I originally finished this project in late May this year, but never ended up posting it.</p>

Fox Pills

Pills for foxes</p>

</a>
</div> </div>

</a>
</div> </div>
This is the reason I needed to make a ball filling tool</a> using geometry nodes in Blender. Saying something is so "fox-pilled" has been said to me on numerous occasions from completely separate people, so of course I started to imagine what a fox pill might even look like. My friend Basil</a> created the fox icon used on the pills, on which she did a great job.</p>

Ball Filling Tool

2025-08-28T06:16:56+00:00

A demo of a tool that my friend and I made, which fills objects with balls.</p>

</a>
Suzanne Blender rendered as translucent plastic filled with colorful balls.</div> </div>
</span>
My friend Basil</a> and I created this geonodes tool for filling an object will balls. This idea rose from my necessity to fill something with small balls, but without needing to setup and fiddle with physics simulations. My initial prototype was promising, but Basil quickly found ways to make things more efficient while retaining similar or improved behavior. I'll likely upload this tool at some point, but it's not necessarily the best tool ever created.</p>
I also experimented with more simple shader setups. Things end up looking realistic, but stylized at the same time in some way. Allowing myself to stray from the idea of absolute physical accuracy I think has made an improvement on the look of things, although I think the reality is that I just love all kinds of rendering styles.</p>
Site update</h1>
Working on larger updates to the site, which may or may not end up actually making it through to publishing. The important changes are included with this post though. I have consolidated a handful of tags that I feel are redundant or too specific into existing tags. I have removed the unnecessary "fluff" category as well, moving all those posts into the existing news category</a>. I've finally figured out how to setup pagination for tags and categoriese with zola, so these categories should be much nicer to navigate.</p>
The current work I'm experimenting with is to rework how I manage the assets for this website, without generating a bunch of dead links in the process. I've also already implemented in the branch some basic animations to prevent flashing of content as it loads, which I feel increases visual comfort. This rework comes from my desire to implement a photography category into the site, but not being sure on how I would do it efficiently. My lack of understanding while initially creating this site has led to some poor choices that I'm going to have to work with now. Additionally, I've made some changes to the css styling in some areas, reducing visual clutter. These updates will eventually make their way into the site.</p>

Depth Deception

2025-08-23T22:47:23+00:00

I like the colors. Also looks like it has some amount of depth.</p>

</a>
</div> </div>
</span>
With a weird border:</p>
</a>
</div> </div>
Is this one a bit too fancy in like a bad way? idk.</p>
But there's no real depth in this render, this is an orthographic view of a plane. It's with a cool shader that came from playing with texture coordinate stuff. You do a vector modulo of the X and Y coordinate of the UV space.</p>
I love Blender it's so cool</p>
I'm also reminded of my 3 current website theme colors, although they're not really that similar</p>

360° World

Playing around with scale and environments in this 360 degree render.</p>

</a>
</div> </div>
</span>
I've wanted to make a 360° viewable render for awhile now, and while making this scene I figured it would be a perfect scenario for it. Something I didn't anticipate was how much more resolution you'd to make it not too blurry. Didn't turn out perfect, but that's alright.</p>
</a>
Preview-scale image, larger versions available below.</div> </div>
Half res 360° JPEG format image (8000x4000 px ~11 MB)</a></p>
Full res 360° WEBP image (13600x6400 px ~13 MB)</a></p>
Half res 360° WEBP image (6800x3200 px ~4 MB)</a></p>
edit (8/23/2025): I added some additional GPano metadata to all the above images in hopes of this working better with certain image viewers.</p>
Mirrorball JPEG image for fun (2000x2000 px ~3 MB)</a></p>
Another possible issue is the lack of methods for viewing 360 images. I've injected the GPano "ProjectionType" XMP tag</a> set to equirectangular, so hopefully that gives photo viewers a hint as to what to do here.</p>
This page at Charles University Computer Graphics site</a> shows a great example of the minimum setup needed for the GPano tags.</p>
There appears to be a handful of online tools for viewing 360 images in your browser, and I'd recommend you use whatever option works best for you. I have no recommendations to make on that front.</p>

Experiments With Soft Padding

2025-07-21T05:14:24+00:00

Soft shipping pads from a fictional shipping company.</p>

</a>
MHS industrial robot padding. Duct tape is stuck to the pads.</div> </div>
</span>
This was a project to be used in VRChat, made for Furality Somna.</p>
The MHS Transport Safety collection of industrial padding products was initially introduced due to external pressure from public safety regulatory bodies. These pads are primarily for use in heavily populated areas, where robots and non-robots have a high chance of quite literally running into each other.</p>
Public transport safety is a more specifice use case for these pads. In the event where a robot with a rigid chassis may need to use public transport, these pads must be strapped onto the hard and/or sharp surfaces of their body. This step ensures the safety of all non-machine riders, primarily in crash scenarios. Robots with full autonomy have the ability to exercise consent and deny the usage of padding. In the event of a machine denying padding, a legitimate Verified Consciousness ID Card must be presented to the attending driver of the vehicle.</p>
In the context of VRChat, this particular example of the MHS pads have been stolen from a shipping location and duct taped onto my player model. The idea being that this robot stole the shipping pads from a bus to be used as pajamas for Furality Somna.</p>
