Here's a small portion of an animated bumper I made to promote a video game (Blind Descent). Seeing the latest advances in generative AI and how they've invaded space, I feel lucky to have at least produced this little piece from start to finish.
The recent announcement about Anthropic joining the Blender Development Fund as a Corporate Patron member has raised concerns from the community around how we engage with AI topics.
This is how we plan to address the issue: https://www.blender.org/news/upcoming-blender-development-fund-and-ai-policies/
Happy #PortfolioDay ! Here's some of my recent ones. I do a wide variety of art, but recently have been getting into painterly and otherwise very stylized, technical 3D renders.
(edit: if the first three interest you, I'll be putting them up soon on my Ko-Fi and Patreon! Follow to stay tuned)
An #introduction 👋 I'm Metin from the Netherlands. Starting as a 16-bit game developer (#Amiga, CD32, MS-DOS, …), I shifted to TV animation, news cartoons, magazine illustration and toy design.
My freelance glory days are over, but I still love to create, and share my work here and on @Seven

everyone follows the author of MASTODON @Gargron when they join on here
they should also follow @cwebber - author of ActivityPub protocol (which MASTODON and other fedi softwares are built on)

Instead of playing video games for 24 hours & asking for donations I'm offering custom emojis, avatars, spinning coins, or other Blender animations
Some recent emojis:
