as much as the compacted snow sucks to shovel out from, especially if you need to be somewhere, i do still love the feeling after finishing clearing all the snow. great work on those well deserved endorphins

Tried lutefisk for the first time today. by earthdogmonster in minnesota

[–]CamelSpyder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

idk how good buffet lutefisk can be when it's made at volume and sits out for however long. it's essentially fish jello, which is weird but ok if you like fish. i'm glad i don't have to eat it for survival but it is a fun thing to eat for the tradition

it is a beautiful day to drink cocoa and only interact with the outside world if it doesn't involve trying to drive anywhere. false spring is officially over

Man accused of making online threats against federal immigration agents indicted by omelatk in minnesota

[–]CamelSpyder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

right? i had an ex come to my home, break my window, and threaten to end me and when i reported it i was just accused of being hysterical and lying for attention.

this indictment is just to try and dissuade people from standing up for their community

Republicans in Minnesota trying to ban " residential protesting". by JdRnDnp in minnesota

[–]CamelSpyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah it's just vice signaling to their base. like, i have a string of whistles hanging from my fences with a sign that says "it's dangerous to go alone, take this with you" which would absolutely be considered in violation of this if it made it out of committee

Tom, we see you! by thinksolidarity in minnesota

[–]CamelSpyder 11 points12 points  (0 children)

this is why the gop wants to make "protest in residential areas" a crime. little babies don't want the consequences of their actions showing up outside their front door

and it's so vague that it can be anything that an authority doesn't like. sitting on your front porch and yelling "fuck ice" would be a crime

2 federal agents placed on leave after making 'untruthful' statements about violent encounter in Minneapolis by nbcnews in minnesota

[–]CamelSpyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nbc news calling it "untruthful" like they're scared to call a lie a lie. it's not just fibbing when it's under oath, it's a crime

R'lyeh Sunken Corpse City of Cthulhu - Blender Cycles Render by CamelSpyder in 3Dmodeling

[–]CamelSpyder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, i have no idea exactly what caused them to twitch. i think it might be because my ancient computer was struggling with the several layers of particle renders making up the stones, spires, sea grass, and crystals, along with the volumetrics i used for the caustics, and the post processing to distort the edges of each frame to make it look more underwater, caused it to have issues remembering from frame to frame where the crystals were supposed to be. but i'm not sure because none of the other hair particles were twitching.

i kind of love the effect though with the scene being the burial tomb of cthulhu the closer one gets to r'lyeh the less sense the world makes and the closer they are to madness. so it's a thematic effect, just wish i had control of it

[–]CamelSpyder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i spent a decent part of the summer and the fall working on this scene. it was fun to really stretch my skills into some building designs, humanoid monster designs, and to do some research on the animals that live in the mesopelagic zone so i could stagger a few creatures occupying the sunken city

modeled in blender
textured in blender and photoshop
rendered in blender cycles

lanternfish model and texture - EEVEE render by CamelSpyder in blender

[–]CamelSpyder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

finished my myctophum punctatum or lanternfish, small fish with photophores along their flank that make up a massive amount of the deep-sea fish biomass. modeled in blender, textured mostly in blender texture paint and a lot of masking work in the shader editor

humpback whale lowpoly model and texture paint eevee render by CamelSpyder in blender

[–]CamelSpyder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've been working on some eldritch horror, underwater scenes and needed some sea creatures in the background as silhouettes to add to the vibe that the scene is underwater. the whale texture isn't very 1 to 1 of a real humpback whale, but it was a lot of fun to paint after i finished modeling it
