@NeitheYAGI Don't forget that AFTER sliming ganondorf he also killed a demon in a spirit ocean and then went on to found an entire kingdom alongside Tetra. WW Link is built so different

@kotori200201 I am SO ready to put this on my gal I've been so excited for this to come out!!

@ChubbsyChubbs @Siofra_Mariner I thought his inability to manipulate aether was because of him being possessed by Lahabrea not from the life stream, unless I'm misremembering some dialogue

こうしてコンテストが軒並み潰れてって、その結果新人がデビューする機会を失い業界が先細っていく。

@A_dmg04 Deep Stone Crypt. Was too anxious to join raid groups until around Beyond Light but then loved the raid so much

Not originally how I envisioned this scene going but honestly I think I prefer this. Got one more shot to go before I return to the character modeling trenches! #3dart #characterart #scifibooks #animation #blender

[Garrett Melick 🛸👽Scifi Author👽🛸 @moofmiser]

Getting next shot lit and some of the basic stuff in it all blocked in. Gonna work on texturing and a few shaders tomorrow then should be a quick job to do the camera work!

Spent a short like, 20 minutes making a background for this shot only to cover like, all but the tiniest bits of it lmao

[Garrett Melick 🛸👽Scifi Author👽🛸 @moofmiser]

Things are coming together faster than I anticipated, which is great! Struggled a bit with animation, which is to b a expected. I have no doubts that I'll come back to this shot and tweak it a dozen times before this project is over.

First three characters added to the opening! There are three more characters who are supposed to appear in this shot but before I get around to MAKING them, I'm gonna go ahead and do a lil work on some of the other shots that have just these three. #scifibooks #blender #animation

It's always rigging problems. Thankfully it's all looking good now so let's get to work!

These last couple of character models certainly posed their own unique challenges, from making and rigging wings, to getting rigs to play nice with the new models, but we got it done! Next few have their own problems for me to face but I'm up to the task!

Finished up the second character model for this animation. Been getting side tracked by work and some other stuff, but HOPEFULLY should be able to focus some more time toward this over the next few weeks.

First character rig is complete! Excited to move onto the rest and get this animation really underway.

[Garrett Melick 🛸👽Scifi Author👽🛸 @moofmiser]

First few character heads sculpted (and bodies too but those aren't seen anyway). Heading into the first rounds of retopology for them a lil bit tonight and into tomorrow!

So, obvs this isn't an OFFICIAL logo for the books (though honestly it's been tempting) but it was SO much fun making a retro version for the animation I'm working on.

VERY early sneak peak at the trailer for my next book. Still some stuff that I need to add to this scene but I'm so happy with how it's come out so far!

Another couple of test renders before I hop into some animating today! Working on the opening scene of my sci-fi trailer for my book! #blender #blender3d #scifiart #scifibook

[Garrett Melick 🛸👽Scifi Author👽🛸 @moofmiser]

Test render for some "foliage" I made for a little animation I'm working on. Final version's gonna use more of a toon shader, but I figured it'd be nice to see it in it's full glow

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
