Ogg Theora vid of 3D spaceship model development

sorry your browser eg Explorer Safari does not support the video tag but Firefox does My enthusiasm for all things open source and free is now expanding to include video codecs. Whenever I have generated a video of my 3D work in the past I have saved it as a mov file to be played [...]

Beginnings of a Witch’s Cat and Another Mech Obsessive’s Blog

I took the head of my latest work-in-progress RPG mech and I’m using it to create a cat for a cute animation. The cat is still looking very robotic – even after hours of work – so I’ve placed it against a strange moon like irradiated background for now. Though perhaps a robot moon cat [...]

Starhound spaceship illustration for SF RPGs, after a little more work.

I just checked my Google analytics results for the month, and I discovered that by far the largest number of visitors to my  site come from the Google Images search engine. For this month alone Google images has sent me hundreds of visitors. Well it seems what I have to do is keep posting images, [...]

Blender is great for creating spaceships, and easier to use than expected

I’ve been playing with Blender the free 3D software for a couple of days now, off and on – mostly off, I had to clear out a shed and there has been a lot of work at my day job – but I think I’m already getting to grips with it. My experience playing with [...]

More role-playing game related robo-fun

My new 3D mesh droid model for Traveller the science fiction role-playing game is slowly taking shape, and it is going to make a nice illustration when it’s done. I’m also well on the way with the background detail that will give life to this role-playing game item of equipment (or even NPC). Here is [...]

Vane Tempest, a cool and dangerous planet to adventure on in the Traveller RPG

I grew up in a northern mining [...]

Working on a new Traveller robot design

I’m working on a new design for a robot for use in science fiction role-playing games such as Traveller. It will join the droids I have already designed for my own science fiction space opera Traveller setting. The robot is based on the outrider robot from the science fiction short story I am writing, which [...]

Back in trueSpace making the next 3D spaceship science fiction role-playing game illustration

I’m having to create this 3D model in five minute bursts, because my real job, translation, is really busy right now. That might be a good thing however, giving the subconscious a good chance to work on the 3D mesh between sessions on the computer. Here we can see a very simple 3D shape with [...]

New role-playing game spaceship design with use with Mongoose Traveller, and Tarazet the science fiction background

As you might have noticed, I’m experimenting with very long and key word rich post titles to see if that helps with SEO, and the title on this post is a particularly ripe example of this. But never mind that, let’s get on with the meat of this science fiction role-playing game post – oops, [...]

Sketch for my next science fiction role-playing game illustration

This is going to be my next science fictiojn role-playing game illustration project and I’m very pleased with the sketch. The sketch shows the sort of look of the law enforcement agencies of the game universe. Tarazet – that’s what my science fiction role-playing game universe is called – has a lot of corners where [...]
