I have a website, too

So I keep forgetting that I have this blog, as I've moved it over to my website www.doodledemmy.co.uk .
Just in case there's anyone waiting on this feed wondering why it's been so barren lately.
I'll probably stop using this blog altogether from now on. It's been nice.

We can still be friends on my website.

See you there.

p3D

I've been experimenting with as lovely new site called p3D , who let you upload .obj files and have them viewable in-browser. It's pretty cool.

I've experimented with low-poly models so far to test it out, but from what I've seen it can handle fairly high-poly meshes, though I suppose that depends on the computer the model is being viewed on.
The first guinea pig was my low-poly, low-texture shield. Works smoothly enough.


The second, and much more recent attempt was a voxel interpretation of a Platehead, an alien grazer.


The 'wow' image for Fentil: Another Life shows 5 Plateheads grazing on Tile Tops, feeding through their tails.

For this voxel Platehead I used a similar process to my voxel shark:



Begin with a profile of voxels

Add layers and 'chisel' voxels untila shape is achieved


Flip the voxel model


 Add texture. Complete.




In other news, I've been working a lot more on DoodleDemmy.co.uk lately, and now it is complete with a gallery, xenobiology, and modelling section. Give it a look please. I'm also slowly moving my blog over to it, too, so posts may get thinner on this feed.
