Probably took on a bit much for a weekly challenge, but I'm working on an SLS-like rocket, using a sub-d workflow (slowly get the hang of it I think).
I'll also later try texturing it with my own substance designer like tool I'm working on for a while now :D #blender3d

Blender main viewport showing the main engines of an SLS-like space rocket. Still untextured.

@mahid Thank you, yes! I try to be super strict this time. Usually I do hard-ops and box cutter. This time I focus on clean topo and use a lot all of @machin3 tools, helps a lot.

Part 4 in my Lua series! All about errors, debugging, and profiling. I also updated all other articles in the series with new and extended information.

To get better with Blender I try to create something every week. I love sci-fi, so here is a spaceship door. #blender #blender3d #scifi

A sci-fi spaceship door in the middle, with a black large window. Left and right of the door are cushion like cells in white. The door and frame are grey.

2 weeks left in the Megastructures book kickstarter! We've done really well, but as the chart below shows, we're plateauing and we need another burst of pledges to reach the goal. So please consider a purchase or help spread the word! kickstarter.com/projects/artof #spacex #artbook

In my never-ending quest to master CMake, I developed a few opinions on how I want my projects to work and finally looked at "CMake Presets" in my latest article.

It's one thing to start using CMake in a project, it's another to actually create a distributable package for major operating systems. Something I learned on my journey mastering CPack with CMake.

I'll try to cover much: from application bundle structure, how installation works with CMake, adding a shared library, static assets like fonts and images, application icons, the installer itself, and more.

@bluGill I'm sure there are good use cases not to use CPack, the right tool for the right job and all :) For me personally CPack is invaluable to get applications to Linux, macOS, and Windows. Therefore I hope the article helps anyone who wants to go the same route.

@zachleat @eleventy The stability of 11ty is indeed what made me choose it for many of my projects, private and professional. And what makes ne recommend it to others looking for a similar solution.

In my 17 years as a software developer, I’ve pulled exactly zero all-nighters.

Don’t let anyone tell you they’re necessary. If you’re thinking of pulling one voluntarily, don’t, and if your boss asks you to pull an all-nighter, quit on the spot.

If you feel that all-nighters are necessary for your job, you have the wrong job. Your own physical and mental health are vastly more important than your employer’s revenue and profit.

Don’t allow capitalists to deprive you of essentials, like sleep.

Oh my God. PLEASE do not get on Meta's new competitor for Twitter.

It harvests mucho data including our health data.

You cannot opt out.

#Meta has already taken info from a Facebook Messenger chat about seeking #abortion in a hostile state, and turned it over for prosecution.

If you're #trans or might ever need to end a pregnancy PLEASE do not use #Threads.

Boost this. Protect your damn friends.

To really get better at 3D creation I challenge myself to create something every week for a year. Six weeks in I’m positive for what’s to come — here is what I’ve got so far.
