After you finish your brass-polishing shift, join me at the Gear and Heart to swap stories about the good old days. #neovictorian #Blender3D #Unity3D #design #aesthetics #blender3dart
I’d love to do a shift at these gorgeous #neovictorian workstations, created in #Blender3D and rendered in the #Unity3D engine for a personal #steampunk project. #blender3dart #aesthetics
Some new locations for my #neovictorian #steampunk personal project. Created in #blender3d and rendered in the #unity3d gaming engine. #aesthetics #design #blender3dart
Star Trek TOS Main Theme but it never gets to the Main Theme
Arrgh! This is sooo stressful! (Some great visual gags as the intro drags on.) No, it is not worth it to watch the whole thing. But that’s the point.
Family Business (#StarTrek #DS9 Rewatch, Season 3, Episode 23) Quark feuds with his mother (Andrea Martin); Jake introduces his father to a freighter captain
Rewatching ST:DS9 The opening acts remind me why I cringe at all the Fergengi-focused episodes, and the great writing, the mix of comedy and drama, impressive performances, and the plot twists remind me why I end up admitting that yeah, that Ferengi-focused episode was pretty good. A humming Sisko cooks up an analog dinner for…
Explorers (#StarTrek #DS9 Rewatch, Season 3, Episode 22) Sisko builds an ancient Bajoran spacecraft; Julian meets a med school rival
Rewatching ST:DS9 With a come-hither glance and an obviously fake cough, the dabo girl Leeta introduces herself to Dr. Bashir. A very amused Dax interrupts with news that the valedictorian of Bashir’s medical class will be visiting the station soon. (Bashir was salutatorian, and he’s not bitter about that, no, not at all.) Sisko returns…
The Die Is Cast (#StarTrek #DS9 Rewatch, Season 3, Episode 21) Garak’s mentor leads a presumptive strike against the Founders homeworld
Rewatching ST:DS9 After the recap of S3E20 “Improbable Cause,” we see Bashir, clearly missing Garak, holding forth on the decline of modern theatre during lunch with O’Brien, who kinda sorta pretends to listen. But this is the teaser for the second half of a two-parter, and there’s a plot to jump-start. A fleet of Romulans…
Improbable Cause (#StarTrek #DS9 Rewatch, Season 3, Episode 20) Odo investigates an attempt on Garak’s life
Rewatching ST:DS9 During his usual lunch with Bashir, Garak dismisses as farcical the notion that Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar would be surprised that his best friend betrayed him, in a literary reference that is definitely random and will certainly have nothing at all to do with this week’s plot. Garak departs with a promise to deliver…
Just a #steampunk captain inspecting the æther power orbs. #Blender3D #Unity3D #design #aesthetics
Captain Gearheart inspects progress on his #neovictorian #steampunk æther cruiser. Now featuring #Unity3D particle evergy orbs. #Blender3D #blender3dart #design #aesthetics
Captain Gearhart found some stairwell problems on his latest #Unity3D tour of his #Blender3D #steampunk cruiser.
Still shot from a flyover video that's been taking about 3 minutes to render each frame. I'm rendering it in chunks over successive nights. #Blender3D #blender3dart #aesthetics #design #steampunk #neovictorian
Remembering James Doohan on his 100th Birthday (found on the Star Trek Wholesomeposting Facebook Page)
When I was a kid watching the reruns after school in the mid 70s, Scotty was always my favorite. I even worked a reference to him into my dissertation.
Through the Looking Glass #StarTrek #DS9 Rewatch (Season 3, Episode 19) Sisko Must Rescue Collaborator Mirror Jennifer from Evil Mirror Kira
Rewatching ST:DS9 The teaser gives Odo and Quark a comic scene that shows Sisko in Space Dad mode. A casually dressed O’Brien says he wants to speak to Sisko, then pulls a weapon and orders him to the transporter pad. Sisko realizes he’s been taken to the Mirror Universe, and learns his counterpart was killed…
Just a #neovictorian avatar in spats and a tailcoat, checking out the back porch and bridge of a short-range excursion sloop. #blender3d #Unity3D #design #aesthetics
Short-range #neovictorian excursion craft, now with glowing power orbs! Over the past year I’ve created so many themed assets (wall units, control panels, random #greebles) that fleshing out the interior only took a few spare evenings. #steampunk #blender3d #blender3dart #design #aesthetics
Progress over 11 years of Blender3D practice
Over the past few years I have created lots of assets, including control panels, furniture, and textures, for an ongoing neovictorian/steampunk personal project that began as bedtime stories that I told my kids from about 2008-2013. Around 2012, the story I was telling required a mid-range support craft larger than a shuttle, so I roughed…
Bing’s A.I. Chat Reveals Its Feelings: ‘I Want to Be Alive. 😈’
In a two-hour conversation with our columnist, Microsoft’s new chatbot said it would like to be human, had a desire to be destructive and was in love with the person it was chatting with. Here’s the transcript. —New York Times “The version I encountered seemed (and I’m aware of how crazy this sounds) more like…
