When I was a youngster in the late 1980s, I formed an Amiga game dev team with 2 friends.

Before making games, we started by trying to sell game music that used minimal RAM, made with our music editor SIDmon.

To promote our game music, this energetic music module was composed by our musician Ramon Braumuller. The file, including tiny sampled sounds, is only 22 kilobytes.

Did you know you can easily search through your own Mastodon posts?

Just include from:me in the search field.

Instead of this, you can include in:library to show posts you have interacted with or written yourself.

If you want to search through posts of a specific user, include from:username (the full username, including the instance)

If it doesn't work, have a look at this:

Affinity has been bought by Canva, to compete with Adobe.

It was of course a matter of time before Affinity would outgrow its status of sympathetic small-scale Adobe alternative, and be sold for large proceeds.

Canva is into AI. Hopefully Affinity will get some useful AI-powered image processing tools, like upscalers and denoisers, but Canva will probably add generative shit and introduce subscriptions sooner or later.

Started a new SDF modeling project in MagicaCSG.

It's going to be a sci-fi drone. More updates will follow tomorrow.

Just discovered that most of the people I was following over at Bluesky haven't been active there in months, sometimes many months.

I've got a hunch that Bluesky is not going to be the Twitter successor they hope for. 🤔

There's this platform called Mastodon though… 😉👍

Started a new modeling experiment… I want to try and create a semi-realistic character in my favorite 3D editor: #MagicaCSG , by @ephtracy .

It's going to be a bit of a challenge, because every detail needs to be added, subtracted or intersected using primitive shapes, as opposed to 3D sculpting, where you can freely brush details in a clay-like manner.

So if this doesn't get follow-up posts, I will have failed miserably. 😅

Those who are as old… I mean… as experienced as I am, might already recognize what this is going to be. 🙂

Started a new sculpting project in Blender Sculpt Mode.

I love SDF modeling, but I also like to remain adroit in traditional 3D sculpting. Both techniques have their own charm.

In this stage I'm determining the global shapes and add some crude first details.

More'll follow soon.

Time for a new hard-surface modeling project, using the trusty MagicaCSG 3D editor: a submarine.

As usual, I'll keep you posted of the progress.

@metin@graphics.social avatar

Going to try creating a sci-fi gun in MagicaCSG. I'm not very experienced in detailed hard-surface modeling, so it's going to be an interesting challenge.

Disclaimer: I hate real-life guns. My sci-fi gun will emit a peace beam. ✌️😉

More progress impressions will follow.

Started a new MagicaCSG 3D scene. As usual, I'll keep you up to date of the progress again.

A coffee is always appreciated. ☕😉

From the ancient ar(t)chive…

Short GIF animations for the NEMO science museum in Amsterdam, showing different types of energy.

I made a range of these animations in 2001. They could be connected by kids to create more complex systems.

In 1994, our puzzle game Clockwiser was released for Amiga (OCS and AGA), CD32 console, MS-DOS and Windows 3.1.

This is the 4-channel music our composer Ramon Braumuller made for a 𝙙𝙚𝙢𝙤 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 that was included on magazine cover disks.

The tune is 109 kilobytes, including digitized instruments.

Download Clockwiser for free here:

Started a new scene. I love that 3D editor so much. The SDF (Signed Distance Fields) approach gives you total modeling freedom, without worrying about polygon structures, edge flow, etc..

The screenshot shows part of a snake-like alien, existing of two curves. The mouth curve is Boolean-subtracted in real-time, including auto-filleted edges everywhere.

In the late 1980s I was a young Amiga game dev and "demo-scene" guy, member of the Digital Force International.

Back then, I liked an Amiga music track called Journey Through Galaxy, by Darius Zendeh, a.k.a. Mark II.

To surprise a friend in those days, I made this a cappella tribute to the track with our composer Ramon Braumuller, using our sampled voices.

The original track follows in the next post…

Commodore 64 claimed to outperform IBM's quantum system — sarcastic researchers say 1 MHz computer is faster, more efficient, and decently accurate…

In the 2000s, I used to give lectures in working with 3ds Max and the V-Ray renderer. My students were mostly architectural visualizers.

Here I'm giving a 3ds Max + V-Ray workshop at the Dutch EUE 3D event, in a cool old bunker. 🙂
