You probably already know I'm in school currently in a 3D graphics class, but recently I also landed an internship! That internship has taken a lot more time from me than I thought, since I'm getting a lot more respons...
I CAN MOVE!!!! WOOOOOOO!! FINALLY!!!
It has taken a while to get this done, but I see the light in the end of the tunnel! The model isn't 100% done yet, but I can kinda use it, so it's good enough to show I think?? I still have some textures I want to fix, some blendshapes to fix, and some weightpaint issues I gotta fix. I also really want to add some fun extra expressions I can use, lik...
HELLO I have a lot to update you on :O
For right now I'm gonna show off the progress of my new model!!! I've been working on this on and off for over a year now, and it's been taking way too long due to school taking up a lot of time, so I'm really pushing myself lately to finish it. I feel like I can't do any of the other things I want to do before I finish this! I'm done with the modell...
2024-03-22 00:02:31 +0000 UTC View PostHELLO! HAPPY NEW YEAR!! (a little late but still january, still counts!!!!)
I have been working more on Icebear Radio lately, and I've done a lot of design changes to the idea! I felt a little bit stuck on the visual part, and I felt like it wasn't the right vibe, so I decided to find out something else. I remembered that some of the songs I have in my playlist are from rhythm games, and ...

HELLO it's been a little while!!!
I've been drowning in a lot of schoolwork lately, so I've been feeling very drained, but recently I've gotten a spark back! You've seen me post about the new Icebell before, and while that is still in the works (hopefully I can get it done within this year hhh) I thought about Icebear too.. If Icebell is getting renewed, Icebear should follow! SO! I sat ...
HELLO!!
I've hit a roadblock once again with my new model, so I decided to get more knowledge by doing ANOTHER MODEL lol. I also really wanted to learn about Blender's animation system and cameras, and how scenes work and stuff like that, so I thought I could go through a "behind the scenes" of how I created the music video for my newest cover of Pipo Pipo!
With this one ...

HELLO!
I've recently taken a little vacation, but at the same time not at all lol. I'm just taking a long time to create things, but I think I'm getting a lot better at it! Practice makes perfect! I've been working a lot on my model, since I got a little stuck on how I'd like it to look. It's still not all the way where I want to be, but I'm closing in on something. The pictures will spe...

I've been wanting to open up my own asset store for a while now, so I decided to just jump into it! Cloud 9 was made with expansion in mind, so I thought it would be a perfect place to use as a showcase world for assets I want to sell too! What better name to use for the shop then the one and only konbini store of Cloud 9, Cloud Mart!
The last couple of da...
HELLO!!!!!!!! I "FINISHED" THE VIRTUAL CITY OF CLOUD 9!!!
I thought I could talk a little about the project! A lot has happened since my last post (sorry about that, I got lost in the work, and I was super determined to make it happen :S) This was definitely my biggest project yet, and I definitely learned a lot on my way.
For this project I modelled the whole city ...

HELLO!
I've been working hard on my exam project lately, there is A LOT of work to do, and I've only just begun!!! Last post was all about the new Icebell design, while this time I'm gonna talk more about the city, more specifically "The Virtual City of Cloud 9"! Cloud 9 is the casual name of the city, but the project name is "The Virtual City of Cloud 9". This is Icebell's city!

I've started school again, and been surprisingly busy with that in the last couple of weeks. I try my very best at absorbing everything I can as long as I'm able to, and learn as much as I can! My absolute end goal is to be able to get a job in the game industry after school.
I only have one semester left of school to go, and we're already planning for t...

HELLO!
Since last post I got EVEN MORE SCHOOL WORK. It's kind of my own fault because I want to create something cool, and learn a lot of stuff, but that does come with a couple of sacrifices.
Anyway, I thought I could talk more in depth about my exam project! It's been a ride, but I've learned so much, and I feel like my 3D skills are evolving more and more!

I suddenly got a LOT to do at school, so I didn't get to finish up what I started there, and now it's almost halloween. So I thought I could put that project on pause for a bit, and create a cool halloween look for both Icebear and I! I call these "Dark Matter Icebell and Icebear". The idea is that we've been contaminated by weird un...
HELLO!!
I've been thinking about this for a while, and I thought this would be a really nice side project for this month, upgrading Ice Channel 9, and reviving it! I've been wanting to make a proper studio now that I'm better at 3D modelling, and I want to get better at doing environments. I want to create more VRchat worlds too! You could say it's a practice towards something bigger,...

As mentioned before, I started on a summer outfit! More specifically a summer dress because that's what twitter wanted the most. I really wanted to finish it before the end of august, and I DID!!!!!!! WOO!!!!!! Since I already have the base model, the groundwork was already done, but I did come across a few challenges here too since this was my first time editing the model in...

I've been working on 3!!!!!!!!! covers these last couple of days, because I wanted to focus om making covers this month, but I think I've been a bit burned out lately, so I've been working slowly. I finally got to record some stuff! The covers I'm doing are Poppin Candy Fever, Pon de Beach from idolm@ster, and the one I've talked about forever, LUVORATORYYYYYYYYY AHHHHHHHHHH

It's been a while since last time I posted, so let me recap the last month:
I've been doing my exam project, and it has gone really well! It was a group project where we made a VRchat world, so if you haven't checked it out yet, please do! More info in this tweet. I...

Jehemoth requested me to make some wallpapers for phone, so I took a bunch of photos of Icekonbell in VRC! Oh yeah, I made a Low Poly Kon version of Icebell btw, it's gonna be a placeholder while I figure out how I'm gonna fix the errors on my model! I'm just happy I get to post short little videos again!!!!!! I love it!!!!!!!! Please enjoy the photos!!!!!!!!!!!

It has been a while, I've been having some covid times, and some pressure from school (which I still have hhh but it's ok, I just gotta spend some time on school stuff too) and I've been at a convention this weekend! Before Icebell I used to have stands at convention where I sold accessories and stuff, a lot of it inspired by sweets, space and magical girls! When the virus came a...

HELLOOOO!! I just wanted to update you on model progress! I finished up all the textures, which took some time because I had to study some shading, but I DID IT WOO!! I like it a lot, it's very different from my past models, but I wanted to put on more details this time. I also scaled up the pupils a bit, since I think I was looking a bit scary earlier, now I look more approachable! ALSO!!! I h...

HELLO!!! It's almost valentines day?!? I feel I should make you guys a little gift.. We'll see what I can do for you! This is not the gift though, this is Icebell texture process! This is the first time I try to do this type of texturing, so there is a lot of studying and testing what works and not, luckily there's a lot of inspiration to take from models on sketchfab! I've tried a cutesy anime...

HELLO!!
I've been talking about making a 3D model from scratch ever since I started vtubing. 3D is even what got me into vtubing, through VRchat! I've been obsessed with the thought, to the point where I'm now going to school for game graphics and animation, and I feel like I'm in my element! I've already made a few "character" type 3D models, mostly just chibistyle, but I kinda feel I'm ...

Since the Icebell version I am today started late 2020, I did actually start making an outfit that I planned on rigging in Live2D, but then I ended up not doing that because time ran out. Because of this I feel like I kind of owe it to myself to finish a christmas outfit! This time I'm gonna do it in 3D in vroid tho...

HELLO!
So as most of you might know, I make my own models, and to do so I use Vroid Studio, a type of "character creation" program that you can easily make 3D avatars with. This has become a very popular program for Vtubers as it's a very simple way to make 3D avatars, but you're kind of limited in what you can do.
I started with Vroid in... I think July 2020? Back then I made a casua...
