A horribly clunky rough blocking of the animation. But that's how I always start my process. Everything will be smoothed out and timed properly, I promise. #wip #b3d #animation #previz #startrek #ds9 #enterprise #akira #defiant #galaxy #fanart #scifi #blender #3d

v2 of the previous #embergen animation test, still very much not final, things don't look fully integrated just yet. In this version, the hit TIE fighter also progressively/procedurally burns up/disintegrates a bit before fully exploding, and some debris including the pilot survive the explosion!

I've taken a deep dive down the rabbit hole of "how to fake optical compositing in After Effects". These are some of the results. USS Jacoby model by me Spacedock by @misterwilde.bsky.social youtu.be/o_ZY0vYuDEw More shots to follow? Maybe? #blender3d #startrek #scifi #scifiart #vfx

One day...

I took the time to gather all the old images and renders I did of my Spacedock WIP between 2008-2010 and compiled them together at Artstation. www.artstation.com/artwork/y46E95 #startrek #spacedock #starbase #scifi #scifiart #fanart #3d #lightwave3d #tsfs #tuc #tvh

So all I can do to keep the fantasy "alive" is to make my Enterprise-E vs Dominion battle #animation without characters, #write the #screenplay, and draw animated #storyboards for the scenes involving characters & dialogue. #fanart #startrek #tng

Tech bros been promising for the past 3-4 years that I'd be able to make my feature length #startrek #tng #fanfilm starring the original actors with #genai in half a year. #falsepromises *to be fair, it'd be nice if I could add Picard, Riker & Co to my animation. Have to do it without faces/voices.

A little progress update on the #Klingon Bird of Prey. Detail work on the main hull now almost complete - just the engine to go! After that, just the wings plus mopping up left. #StarTrek #Qa'Pla #B'Rel #CGI #WIP

I am pondering creating a #3d model of the #Akira class with the mindset of "what if #ILM had built a physical hero model", instead of a low poly version with photobashed textures. Everybody seems to base their models on that one, the results are a bit clunky... #startrek #firstcontact #b3d #fanart

Test flight with Chris Kuhn's #Defiant model in #blender. #startrek #ds9 #b3d #fanart #3d #animation #scifi #rendering #wip

And here's how I determined the actual shape 15+ years ago. Thankfully it's just a bunch of circles and vertical lines, which makes it easier to match the perspective of photos and screenshots in a 3d tool. #lw3d #lightwave #spacedock #startrek #3d #modeling #accuracy #tsfs #tuc #tng #ilm

The old version uses an army of super low poly shuttles to decorate the hangars. #lw3d #lightwave3d #startrek #3d #tsfs #tuc #tng #3d #modeling

How I determined the scale of the #spacedock interior back then. The scale of the Enterprise and the door was the entry point, and from that on I used photo projection to find the scale of all the little shuttle bays and hangars. #lw3d #lightwave3d #startrek #3d #tsfs #tuc #tng #modeling

While I'm already at it, I can remake this render I made of the Defiant in 2004*, and perhaps animate it. I'd already have fitting music for that in mind. #backlog #defiant #3d #remakes #jameshorner misterwilde.artstation.com/projects/VJn... * surprisingly few Defiant renders in my portfolio.

Getting Chris Kuhn's #Defiant ready in #blender for my little animation, learning a wee lil bit of #davinciresolve in the process. #startrek #ds9 #b3d #fanart #scifi #animation #rendering #wip

Currently #writing a draft of the dramatic climax of my novel to #AlanSilvestri youtu.be/Aep6kkAvnU4 That resolution at 2:28 is causing goosebumps every single time. #amwriting #novel #writingcommunity #scifi #soundtrack #score #music #silvestri

In my January Wrapup I quickly recap the things I managed to do and not do in the first month of this new year. ko-fi.com/Post/January... #writing #blog #3d #drawing #3dmodeling #3danimation #lw3d #lightwave3d #b3d #blender #ko-fi #patreon #startrek #spacedock #novel #hobby #timemanagement

I have made a very topical and timely #3D CG meme that is in no way years-to-centuries out of date. #Lightwave3D

When you remember you wanted write "January Wrapup" and "February Outlook" blog articles. #writing #blog #3d #b3d #lw3d #hobby #socialmedia #drawing #3dmodeling #3danimation #ko-fi #patreon

I really like Linktree's positive attitude towards things.

The most difficult part of #writing dialogue scenes for me is to figure out what each of characters actually want in that moment in time. I can agonize days and weeks over that with countless iterations of the same scene. #amwriting #novel #writingcommunity

Beginning to remodel the center column. Dug up the old file where I used projection mapping to make sure all the details are placed correctly. #lw3d #b3d #startrek #spacedock #3dmodeling

More progress on the Spacedock interior. #lw3d #b3d #startrek #spacedock #3dmodeling

That Star Trek Beyond clip dumped me into this fan edit of the Enterprise launch from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, which is one of the few fan edits I've ever seen with homemade CGI that actually improves the sequence/film: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdRU...

Another updated Star Wars cockpit shot! This time it the interior of a GR-75 pilot pod. I'm overall happy with this, but there's a bunch of skinning errors that I need to fix, since I haven't really touched it since 2018, long before I knew what I was doing. :/ Reverse shot too!

Every now and then I find time to work on the Spacedock interior model I made 10+ years ago. Reworking it entirely for better geometry and textures. #lw3d #b3d #startrek #spacedock #3dmodeling

www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdRU... Enterprise Leaves Spacedock with James Horner Score - #StarTrekVI-TheUndiscoveredCountry by @misterwilde.bsky.social amazing video, with absolutely gorgeous visuals and sound. A treat for any fan

Took a long walk today and without intending it I finally solved a complex dialogue scene that's been bothering me for ages. #amthinking #amwriting

Here's the updated Star Wars Cockpit render from last night - More MFD details, 4K render, better lit button flashing, and a ton of other improvements. Still to add: Joystick, pilot hitting buttons to trigger MFD changes.

I can't stand all the “AI writing suggestions” options on ALL the software and tools I use. If I didn't want to write myself, I'd do something else. 😅

OKAY. Here is how to actually turn off Gemini AI for your google workspace! 1) contact google support from admin panel and keep asking for a supervisor/to speak to a person. 2) ask them to enable settings in "Gemini for google workspace" 3) turn it off. I just did this and it worked.
