@nyrath @iamgerardthomas There's definitely a really big hump to get over with Blender. Compared to a lot of other design programmes, it seems very unintuitive at first. Once that bridge is crossed though, the basics come pretty fast.

Going to try and model this in Blender next. Very much running before I can walk. But hey, it’ll be fun right? Right?

Today has mainly consisted of swearing and learning Blender.

@Ailantd Luckily, I have absolutely zero 3D knowledge. So nothing to unlearn.

If you've ever fancied a spaceship enamel pin badge (come on, who hasn't?) based on one of my illustrations for An Infinity of Ships, you're in luck.

An Infinity of Pins has launched on Backerkit, and you can choose from over a dozen different designs.

https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/stations/an-infinity-of-pins?ref=flairboard

A graphic showing a mock up of an enamel spaceship pin badge. The text reads: Welcome to the Future (the ship's name), Sophie-Class Light Liberator. Anyhow, anywhere, any form, any shape, anyway, anything I want. The spaceships is pale blue and pink - the colours of the Trans Pride Flag.
A graphic showing a mock up of an enamel spaceship pin badge. The text reads: Black Origami - Juke-Class Experimental Scout. Everything can be folded. Especially reality. The spaceships is dark grey and black, with a few red highlights, and is very geometric in form - looking like folded paper.
A graphic showing a mock up of an enamel spaceship pin badge. The text reads: Fuck Around and Find Out - Asshole-Class Rapid Raider and Lotus-Class Rapid Scout. AKA The Twins. The spaceships (the are two) are bright yellow and orange, with a cool gradient look.

Had a narrative epiphany in a public toilet today.

*Not a euphemism.

It's been a few shitty days of the same crappy tech news, so I shall just reiterate for those at the back.

FUCK GENERATIVE, PLAIGARISING, THIEVING, COPYRIGHT-BLIND, SHITTY AI, and all the tech bros that champion its use.
