I've been making fully playable dragons for 5e DnD. I mean ACTUAL dragons, not some 'oh yes you're totally a dragon, here put some armour on and hit stuff with swords' copout
The template is designed to start at level 11, you see. I made eight entirely new classes for dragons so that a dragon player can start with all the powers that make them feel like a real, genuine dragon without being overpowered compared to humanoid players, and means they can gain levels alongside their allies too.
Here, take a look, I'm always looking for feedback and the template is still a WIP, some things need cleaning up.
I wanted to learn Blender to possibly try doing some 3D animations with anthro characters. I have almost no Blender or any 3D modeling experience so I started following along a beginners tutorial series by Ryan King Art on youtube. I got through most of it before deciding to start on my own little project.
Once I finish modelling it and texturing it I plan to add a simple animation of some rain and wind to it hopefully
Looks like a fine start. I know ruaidri over on FA had a livestream where they created a model. They say that they'll release the video after some cleanup. They also have a resource about how they do fur.
If you want a newline in markdown, you have to put a second line break in.
or end the line with 2 spaces.
Thanks! :3 Oh that would be awesome if he did! I love Ruaidri's work and hes one of the animators that inspired me to get into it. Also thank you for the link on how they do fur
Building a lathe could be super fun. As someone who has built a few machines, I can tell you it will give you a unique perspective on how that machine operates.
A metalworking lathe, though. I like the cut of your jib. That will be fun, and potentially extremely dangerous. Don't kill yourself, please. There is nothing more terrifying than a lot of mass with a fuck ton of momentum.
The book I'm working off of is from a whole series called "Build your own machine shop from scrap". I opted to skip book one where you build a charcoal foundry, and opted to buy a propane one instead. Mainly so I don't make a ton of charcoal smoke that floats around the neighborhood.
I have been playing around with a project using the game engine Godot. Real simple stuff but it has been fun to learn!
The engine and editor super lightweight and I am able to sync my project between two devices using Dropbox. I have pretty limited free time currently so being able to work on it wherever if I have a bit of time has helped keep my motivation for the project, even if progress has been slow ^^
Definitely just playing around, I'm not any good at coming up with interesting hooks or ideas. But it's a hobby I've wanted to delve into and finally decided to make some simple projects. It has been fun learning how things tie together!
Homework was the bane of my existence, I would figure out the most I could skip without too much issue. I was a bad student. I got that calculation wrong once though. I thought something was a percent of a grouping, not a strait percent of the grade. oops.
I have a shirt I got near graduation that says "skipped class to study for other classes". In my case it was work on labs and the skipped class was an intro class when I was thinking about double major or minor.
I've been getting back into the groove of making artwork, which is all nice. My goal is to start a webcomic this year. c:
In other domains, what started out as a joke is becoming a full mod for Terraria: One that adds more cactus weapons apart from the basic cactus sword. :D I've never made mods for Terraria so it's a simultaneous learning process.

If I knew anything about DnD I would be happy to take a look. I don't, but it looks impressive.

I've been doing some metal casting which is super fun! I saved up aluminum cans and foil for a few months and have some ingots to work with now.
l_b_i@yiffit.net · 2 pts · 2y
That seems like a lot of cans. Any plans on what do with your ingots?
franzfurdinand@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
I'm going to slowly build up my skills until I can follow a book on how to build your own metalworking lathe!

Thank you! Yeah, I'll be careful with it.
The book I'm working off of is from a whole series called "Build your own machine shop from scrap". I opted to skip book one where you build a charcoal foundry, and opted to buy a propane one instead. Mainly so I don't make a ton of charcoal smoke that floats around the neighborhood.

Sounds like quite the undertaking. Good luck!
franzfurdinand@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Thank you! Yeah, there's a fair bit to it but it should be achievable

Just playing around, or hoping to release something?
