Got reminded of a meme I rendered at friends' requests a few years ago of the Waterwraith, a boss from Pikmin 2, but made of soft drinks instead of water. I could've sworn I'd done several... and turns out I had, these are from 2017. Sometimes I need my Blender license revoked 😂

This artist @splitsterart has thought up an alternate version of Pikmin 4's story in which the default player character (named Pom) is a Pikmin-grade wraith in disguise, and this wraith form they and @Kallulily designed is so good. I just had to try making a 3D model!

Little stylistic test in Blender today! I call it "low-poly depth of field." As the camera's focal distance changes, objects in focus are higher-poly, and objects out of focus are decimated lower-poly. Works best with low-poly, flat-shaded objects and quick focal changes. #b3d

PIKMIN 4!! I'm so curious what it will be like: it already looks more open than Pikmin 3, and I love the tall manmade objects in the scene, and it really focused on that gold timer which makes me wonder what the game rules are... most of all, I'm so excited that it's confirmed!!!

It's time for another look into Pikmin, now that Pikmin 3 Deluxe has arrived! I'll be talking about the variety of boss themes in the game, and how they respond in realtime to the ups and downs of battle!

Just a heads-up, I'll still be working on the Pikmin 4 Piklopedia/Treasure Hoard readthroughs! But as they have become much longer projects than I anticipated, I need to put them on the backburner and focus on projects I can complete and share sooner. Thank you for understanding!
