Making good (but slow) progress on this! Modelled a new neon pink ‘apron’ 👍

I’m loving shooting more stills with my GoPro, for maximum fisheye effect! I shoot in RAW then grade in Lightroom! P.S You can 3D print my ‘FSHi’ ergonomic case for GoPro 9-13 here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2700328-fshi-gopro-hero-9-10-11-12-13-case#profileId-2993413

AJ is the best. The things he makes are the best. 'DUCKS' is the best. Watch it and enjoy 🦆 [contains quote post or other embedded content]

This is how deep the rabbithole I am for virtual pinball… I'm knee deep in a PDF scan of a 1990 skateboard-themed pinball machine to try and recreate the precise solenoid triggers for my own personal Wallace & Gromit-rethemed virtual counterpart.

Making some good progress in my ‘Gnarlybot’ vpin table overhaul in Blender!

I added a new print profile to my ‘FSHi’ GoPro 3D printer case, this time a quicker print in single colour, go give it a print on #Makerworld >>> https://makerworld.com/en/models/2700328-fshi-gopro-hero-9-10-11-12-13-case#profileId-2993413

The past few weeks I've been using #SHAPR3D + 3D Printing to make my own ergonomic 'camera case' for my #GoPro, using it as a stills fisheye camera rather than an action sports cam! I just uploaded it to Makerworld for you to download & print yourself! 👉https://makerworld.com/en/models/2700328

Oh boy, the Marathon soundtrack is RAD! I'm still yet to play the game, but loving all the art, animation and now the music, so good! If you like ambient-ey, drone-ey, glitch-ey, big beat-ey electronic stuff, then this is for you!

Gave my ‘Yoga Flame’ arcade cab a flame-worthy Sanwa button upgrade 👌🔥

Man, I really want to play 'MARATHON' as the aesthetics are *so* up my street, but i am terrible at games, especially shooters, so I fear I wouldn't have a good time. I wish Bungie would include a mode for time-poor skill-poor people!

Big thanks to my dear friend Jack for designing and printing me a custom aluminium extrusion + 3D printed vpinball ‘cabinet’… and then giving up his whole Sunday to assemble it with me! Stage 1 done; clear perspex sides and modular internal gubbins holders next!

My 'Gnarlybot' virtual pinball table adventure continues! Working with the awesome VPW crew to take it that next step further with a 'VLM' (stunning realistic lighting via blender) version and VR support!

EON the energy company sent me a survey to fill in. I obliged because I wanted to let them know that I hate them / all energy companies. Turns out, they are truly insane.

Oof, 2026 is already off to a hell of a start for metalcore / deathcore / whatevercore: Lorna Shore’s Prison Of Flesh, Disembodied Tyrant’s 8.6 Blackout and now Knocked Loose x Denzel Curry! https://youtu.be/hBn7D3Cxsp0?si=4e_L_l2jkueZcxwP

I’m love it when the iPhone spatial wallpaper thing gets it just right 👌

@jamfactory.bsky.social - Gavin Strange [Jamfactory] Valid

Why didn't Disembodied Tyrant win a grammy!? They were robbed.

I suck at vpinball but tiny, tiny improvements mean I get to appreciate each table a bit more as I discover more about them! Had a good few games on X-Men last night, despite not getting very far, I still saw new stuff, it’s great!

My son's back on his toy making ting! He's designed new toys for the party bags of his 9th birthday! ❤️

I just sneezed and bit my tongue all at the same time and I have no idea how.

Shiny buff boi!

@jamfactory.bsky.social - Gavin Strange [Jamfactory] Valid

Oh dammmmmnnn, realised I can use Blender to make my own 360° stereographic 3D animations in HDR for Apple Vision Pro! One of those discoveries that makes you hyper excited and totally overwhelmed with possibilities! https://media.tenor.com/8gbP_oFqopMAAAAC/candy-floss-kid.gif?hh=498&ww=498
