Ranina Birthing Grotto -

The one primarily functional structure the ranina used was for birthing grottoes. Solid architecture was vastly superior to burying eggs in the sand for both protection and viability.

This prototype cycle for my temperature and humidity tracker is almost complete with a new 50% slimmer case. It's been quite a journey #electronics #kicad #esp32 #micropython #blender #3dprinting

A small sneak peak of what I am working on

USA Land Cover Map – 2024
Made with QGIS & Blender using:
ESRI Land Cover (EarthMap)
DEM from DivaGIS (CGIAR SRTM)
Forests, croplands, wetlands & cities — mapped to show the patterns shaping America's surface.

Ranina Idols -

Ranina spiritual beliefs were centred on their two demon gods, one of birth, the other of death, and the maze that existed between them.

It looks a little less realistic this way, but here's a quick turntable of the final cookie, if you're not hungry enough already.

trying out #Blender 4.5 LTS. Now includes a built in '.OBJ import' geometry node.

Found a quick way to fix my DEM-derived meshes, to get rid of lakes - or lochs, this one is Scotland :)

Before, I'd go into edit mode, select a flat face, select-similar with a normal difference of 0, and delete the faces

This geometry nodes setup does the same thing, but faster and non-destructively.

Comparison is really dot-product equals 1 (or > .999999)

Blender 4.5 bertsio berriak punto hodeiak jatorrizko objektu mota bezala onartzen ditu eta hori izugarria da eskaneatutako hodeiekin ibiltzeko.

Orain arte, Subcortical bezalako piezak egiteko (ikusi irudiak) aparteko gehigarri bat erabili behar nuen

I offered to make hummus for a friend's BBQ recently. I sorta succeeded, but it was a real struggle with the old cheap blender I had. So recently I got a high speed blender. It does make hummus quite well. And I thought, *wow*, I'm going to have so many uses for this thing. So tonight I made my usual potato vegetable soup, and I blended it to a smooth creamy soup.

But upon eating it I thought, meh, this just tastes like bland goop. All the interesting tastes were just homogenised into a boring slimy goo.

Alright, here's a new batch.

Moved some of the material shader stuff into the Geometry Nodes setup so the cookies have more interesting shapes and are less reliant on bump maps for larger details.

Also added a layer of fine detail to the bump maps and adjusted the texture to be less busy overall.

The only downside is that the face count has gone up ~3.5x to accommodate the extra geometry.

Venting!

Ranina Temple -

There were no 'years' or 'seasons' in their realm, but the Ranina gathered at set intervals at the temple to worship, to mate, and to engage in diplomacy and politics.

I think there's something wrong with my chocolate chips...

Geez that took way longer than it should have, but #blender 5.0 will have HDR video decoding/encoding support. https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/120033
