Hopefully above, you can see my latest creation, a low poly T-rex! I'm still taking the low poly course, and really enjoying it. Perhaps because it is low poly, it makes it a little easier to have good results, even for beginner's like me …

Okay, so the next part of the course is creating some low poly animals. I made these two dogs using two different methods. The square-er looking one was modeled using blocks and shapes and transforming them. The less square looking one was made with the sculpting tool, cutting or adding …

Today I've been working on my low-poly course again. This time the task was a floating island with a waterfall. I know I'm not the best artist, but I actually really like this one. I feel it has that calm, cartoon look that makes low-poly seem fun.

Tl;dr - I didn't figure out what was wrong with Blender 2.8 and 2.81 on Ubuntu. So I upgraded to the 2.82 alpha version, which works great. You can also go back to the 2.79 version, which also works great.

So, I've enrolled in a great …

So, my good friend, the Libre Hacker, sent me a link to a new e-paper display that is pretty cool and completely open source! It is the new Inkplate 6. It's build on the ESP32, which means you can use the Arduino suite to program it, which is really convenient …

Well, I finally finished it! The pinewood derby timer is done. Check it out!
