If you’re interested in SDF, I can recommend trying the free SDF Modeler first if you’re not yet familiar with Blender. SDF Modeler is much more accessible: https://sascha-rode.itch.io/sdf-modeler . There’s also a PDF manual among the downloads. #SDFModeler #blender #Blender3D #B3D #3D #tip #tips #FreeSoftware npub1gl65gzdyvg8tx5sg5w7pk564t0eaqetty34lq3c6jvsgugr89ahs4h8634 Metin Seven Over at the Blender Artists forum, someone made a great 3D model of a Sega Saturn. I replied that I missed the Virtua Gun, used for the fun Virtua Cop 2 game, shooting at the TV set. He then also made a great 3D model of the Virtua Gun, and he turned out to know our Amiga games from back in the days. His reply made my day. 😊😊 #TeamHoi #GameDev #gaming #games #game #gamer #RetroGaming #RetroComputing #RetroGames #RetroTech #VintageComputing #retro #commodore #amiga #IT #tech #sega #design #art https://cdn.masto.host/graphicssocial/media_attachments/files/116/370/588/712/899/171/original/20b8113ccfd20079.png npub1gl65gzdyvg8tx5sg5w7pk564t0eaqetty34lq3c6jvsgugr89ahs4h8634 Metin Seven 🧵 Bird-themed works, 2/x Quartet (2022). #bird #birds #BirdsOfMastodon #CharacterDesign #graphics #design #artwork #2D #vector #illustration #illustrator #fantasy #picture #DigitalArt #OriginalArt #digital #experimental #style #art #artist #arts #arte #designer #GraphicDesign #minimalism #NoAI #HumanArt #ArtLovers #FineArt #painting #drawing #doodle #sketch #MastoArt #FediArt #MastodonArt #CreativeToots #ArtistsOnMastodon https://cdn.masto.host/graphicssocial/media_attachments/files/116/370/085/663/370/851/original/93be190be870d393.png npub1gl65gzdyvg8tx5sg5w7pk564t0eaqetty34lq3c6jvsgugr89ahs4h8634 Metin Seven 🧵 1/x Starting a new themed artwork thread… Birds! 🐦 This one is called "Bad feather day." 🪶 #bird #birds #BirdsOfMastodon #CharacterDesign #graphics #design #artwork #2D #vector #illustration #illustrator #fantasy #picture #DigitalArt #OriginalArt #digital #experimental #style #art #artist #arts #arte #designer #GraphicDesign #minimalism #NoAI #HumanArt #ArtLovers #FineArt #painting #drawing #doodle #sketch #MastoArt #FediArt #MastodonArt #CreativeToots #ArtistsOnMastodon https://cdn.masto.host/graphicssocial/media_attachments/files/116/368/074/071/169/330/original/5ebd624fd8108a84.png npub1gl65gzdyvg8tx5sg5w7pk564t0eaqetty34lq3c6jvsgugr89ahs4h8634 Metin Seven Testing the new MathOPS SDF-based custom Blender build, adding all kinds of primitive shapes, changing blending algorithms, et cetera.

Last but not least… An alpha version of MathOPS has been released to a closed testing team. And I'm impressed. MathOPS comes as a custom Blender build, with the advantage that custom C++ code can be used to speed things up. Among MathOPS features are SDF modifiers, such as Bend, Twist and Displacement. Very cool stuff I haven't seen in any other SDF modeling tool yet. Exciting times for SDF modeling! I'm happy SDF is gaining popularity. 🥲 ➡️ https://blenderartists.org/t/wip-mathops-mathematical-operations-with-sdf-for-hard-surface-modelling/1623857 #SDF #3D #B3D https://cdn.masto.host/graphicssocial/media_attachments/files/116/359/227/566/863/001/original/62378778ab4d2fc0.png https://cdn.masto.host/graphicssocial/media_attachments/files/116/359/227/889/684/453/original/c89f08a2e04e2a8d.png npub1gl65gzdyvg8tx5sg5w7pk564t0eaqetty34lq3c6jvsgugr89ahs4h8634 Metin Seven 🧵 2/3 2.
