Is it a dev blog??
It's where we show you the hot mess behind the chameleon girl project.

Took a break from the lighthouse to work on this... thing. She's almost skating, but oh my god weight painting is tedious and my laptop hates it. The hand weight is so hilariously haunted I just started over.
A render of my son. Today I made the sk8board and figured out how to aim the damn light source.
Hands are hard.

Set some boolean modifiers to mask out parts of the lens and modeled some metal housing. Why tf doesn't the brass material affect the ends of the diagonal posts? I do not know.
It's in a cage!

Using blender to model Hilda & Helga's lighthouse at the edge of the universe, starting with a first order fresnel lamp. I have no experience with 3D modeling and failed the 3D rotation part of the benchmark test every year in school. Got the cross section, got the dang thing spun, added some extra reflectors, topology isn't terrible. Had to meticulously delete some inner faces and learn about normals.
It'll look just like this but with 6 lenses.
A screenshot from an article I found about the efficacy of fresnel lenses for acoustics.
A render of my very own 3D model as of 4/20.
