Here's a podcast interview with mr. Levels on Lex Fridman's podcast (2024) if you missed it. 👇 xitter.gq/lexfridman/status/1825…
Here's my conversation with Pieter Levels (@levelsio), self-taught developer and entrepreneur who designed, programmed, shipped, and ran over 40 startups, many of which are hugely successful. In most cases, he did it all by himself, while living the digital nomad life in over 40 countries and over 150 cities. This was a fun and inspiring conversation! It's here on X in full, and is up on YouTube, Spotify, and everywhere else. Links in comment.

Excellent looking 3D model if only he had used Instamat or SubCraft for texturing this article would've been even better. 🐸
Kyryl Zlotnyk shares a detailed breakdown of his 3D recreation of the DuPont Blasting Machine No. 20, covering everything from reference gathering to rendering and animation, along with practical tips and resources. "The most challenging, yet at the same time the most interesting part for me was creating realistic, detailed textures and recreating the distinctive properties of wood, leather, and metal. This project taught me not to be afraid to spend time refining the result and not to shy away from additional iterations. While working on this project, I significantly improved my sculpting and texturing skills, tried out new techniques, and honed my abilities in working with lighting, rendering, and post-processing."

Play a back-alley cyberware surgeon welding cracked metal, patching armor and giving custom paint jobs to mechanical limbs. The game is Steel Soul Shaper. Any interest?

Also this was an interesting update in Blender 5.3 you can do precise modeling now in edit mode. Useful if you are an architect. youtu.be/XPClYyhd-TI

So, someone is trying to clone Substance Painter. Hmmm. . . if Adobe wasn't so hostile towards indie studios with their overpriced licensing fees I'd be upset but now I'm kinda silently nodding. 🤔
Substance Painter got cloned? 🤯 Meet SubCraft, an independent 3D texture-painting app that lets you paint directly into models. It's still an early-stage project, but definitely one worth keeping an eye on. For more info check out our video below: #3dart #substance #3D

Dead weigth is an impressive game project, that's for sure. 🤌
It’s been three months since the release of Dead Weight, and it’s time to settle this once and for all: which main character is your favorite and why? #deadweight #turnbased #ドット絵
