Animal crossing….. (not zebra or emu….)

Back for week 26 (half a year!!!) of Sandwalkers for #TurnBasedTuesday. Still hunting for more blood worms to fight. Maybe the finale today?

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Blender/116500204687984724

On first read, I felt this was positive, but looking more closely, there is no allowance here for updating the Funding Policy to allow the Blender Foundation to better vet potential donors/sponsors, and to more expediently react to bad decisions like the Anthropic situation.

Community consultation on a new "AI" policy is great, but reinforcing alignment with the existing Funding Policy feels like saying, "we want to leave the door open to do this again even if they're toxic to the community"

Fossil Sweeper dev stream time. Probably mostly working on audio for the April video in Tenacity today https://devstream.fossilsweeper.com/

Recently, I was asked the devs to make a low poly model inspired by the BuddyBot character from Red Harvest - an upcoming sci-fi farming/life sim made in #Godot.

I took a little artistic licence with colour along the way (to help me think about detailing), but the original sprite is very cute. I was shown photos of a tiny 3D print the other day and was surprised at how much detail was preserved without any separation of parts
