... I made a Blender addon.

I like using a mirrored skin modifier with a level 2 subdivision as the block out for my sculpting. If a character is simple enough, sometimes I can get by without retopologizing. Suffice to say, I find myself adding those three modifiers over and over and over. Below are two recent of examples of how I use them:

My addon (which is really just a simple script) adds a object consisting of a single vertex with mirror, skin, and subD modifiers already applied and toggles Xray mode. There's just one catch: I made it with help from ChatGTP.

(musings on AI below the cut)

I have very mixed feelings on AI; as a creator, it's infuriating that decades of work was stolen and used to replace its creators. As someone who works in tech, I know it's an invaluable tool and here to stay. I know very little about Python scripting--my coding is about as sophisticated as playing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star on the piano--and ChatGPT 3.5 was able to get me an outline that was almost workable. What I asked was a very basic set of steps, and the model failed as soon as I tried to inject logic. Sometimes we don't notice when AIs do things like throw in some extra fingers or an errant limb, but code requires precision. ChatGPT only had a tenuous grasp on the intricacies of Blender's API, and I don't have the python experience to figure out where it was going wrong. If I wanted to complete my short laundry list of functionalities, I would need at least a beginner overview of Python (and a stack overflow account, lol). As it stands, ChatGPT made 60% of this.

So far I have only dabbled with whatever model of ChatGPT I could access for free. It was mostly useful to me as a digital rubber duck. This experience makes me both curious and trepidatious about the cutting edge models and whatever comes next. I also feel squicked out having used it for anything creative :/

I miss the old Deviantart sometimes.

Doing some tag organizing, and I've got to decide which view to optimize for.

when you've been rotating the Perfect birthday gift for somebody in your mind for Literal Years but you can't bring yourself to make it bc you know that this person's temper will end up making them break it if it doesn't act perfectly 100% of the time, then blame it for not being sturdy enough to take it. regardless of how much heart and soul you put into it.

trying to internalize the “this is gonna take you years” “the time will pass anyway” mindset cutting out the pattern pieces for this blazer. there are eight million fiddly little bits AND im being so so brave and making a muslin (draft with cheap fabric) so it will take almost twice as long

I just put in like 2 hours of work (software/skill issue--I know) to turn a picture I just digitally painted into a simple color-changing animation...only to be painfully reminded that GIF compression exists. My sprite animations have always turned out fine, so I forgot. Augghhh after figuring out the colors and frames on this thing it just looks like garbagggeee 😭😭😭

[ID: Two screenshots of the t-phones from TMNT 2012, which are both showing Donnie's contact information. The first shows April's t-phone, with his name being set to "DONNY BOY" and his picture being set to an image of Donnie with a filter on that gives him a bow and puts lots of colorful flowers around him. The second shows Mikey's t-phone, where his name is set to "Donnie" and the picture is a picture of Donnie being kissed by bigfoot with edited hearts around him. END ID]

LEAVE HIM ALONEEEEEEE😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

ik I said I was going to sleep,, but bro- someone please tell me I didn't just got my old acc theme "stolen" 😭
