I got into vertex shading in lieu of doing anything UV-coordinate related.

For reference, that's what Mario Sunshine used to fake most of the game's shadows, and the original Homeworld used them to create the entire skybox back when 3d-dedicated hardware wasn't too common.

That's the problem when you have a bunch of narcissistic opportunities vying for power. Eventually, they start trying to push each other down the stairs...

Nah, icicles are occasionally sharp...

I'm going to start calling them Tesla hatchbacks.

I won't even pick up a new game if it's got more than 3 types of tokens/currencies anymore.

Especially if it looks like it takes more time to set up and explain the rules than it takes to actually play the game.

This is what happens when we let foreign interests fund our politicians.

I have to admit I have no proof other than it wouldn't be the worst thing these kind of companies have done.

That, and as far as putting down any sort of 'grassroots' movement, making them look like fools is a move straight out of Freakonomics in regards to how the KKK was effectively out on blast by the Superman radio Broadcast of the day.

By showing how crazy and dumb the organizations 'secret codes' & 'rituals' were, their numbers dropped precipitously.

I'm still not convinced that these guys aren't being fronted by oil conglomerates to make real climate activists look like morons.

Considering that a US hospital will charge you a few grand for even looking in their direction these days, $2,500.22 for something serious, like seizures, sounds like a steal :(

They've been doing the same thing to Hospitals for years...

Ideally, it would be the same word over and over, so that we can trick the AI into ending all sentences with the word. Bonus points if it is the word "buffalo", since it can from a grammatically correct sentence.

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo

 

For those of you who either don't feel up to the task of writing a story or something this month, here's a tool to at least get your project ready for the next month! I've created a couple of daily prompts lists to help with world building.

Some festive collection of balloons in the rain!

 

Today we've got some majestic square sails and a neat crane!

 

A silly and impractical design! Only really suited for short trips between islands.

I also did a turnaround of this one: https://youtu.be/LvwbJlO4Fgw

 

Fought through a PC crash on this one! Don't think my rig likes the clouds XD

I built a Harpoon Prow and a double hull today!

Close Up

 

Spherical Balloons today!

Figured I'd edit some existing pieces today, too.

 

A pretty simple one today.

This one's got some nice, calming, upper-atmospheric clouds hanging out!

 

A roman-esque hull today.

Also making an appearance is the Maelstrom, an ever-present storm that inhabits the central region in-between archipelagos in my setting.

And here's a screenshot of my wireframe!

My geometry isn't the greatest, but it's fun, so whatever :)

 

This time with some birds!

I think I need to make a chubby barrel version at some point, but this fits my form factor.

 

Some sort of Claw Sail-type propulsion today!

I might hold back on posting these everyday in order to not flood the channel with airships. But, I will post when I have enough new pieces to make a whole new ship.

That way I can spend more time on composition for the renders, too!

 

I've decided to challenge myself and build 1 modular airship component each day this month.

Today's build is a Vertical Balloon, everything else existed for a previous project, but as more pieces are modeled, it won't take long before everything is swapped out.

Everything here is modelled in Blender, with the occasional texture made in Krita.
