Yiming's News 24/05/2024

Hi there, it's Yiming here. It's been sometime since I have sent any updates :D

What's New

My Little Comic

In the past two months, I have been making this little action comic featuring my characters in a toy gun war. It's called Blowback^↗ and you can read it online.

Also, I've printed and bounded a few physical copies for that comic to give out to friends. I will be making more copies, which can be per-ordered in my new online store^↗.

Our Paint

I have finally released Our Paint v0.3^↗. It includes a ton of improvements including file r/w performance boosts, stability on large canvases and also bunch of usability tweaks! Here's the release note^↗ Go download and try it yourself :D

Other stuff

I have been keeping up with bug triaging for Blender, also working on features to be ported to Grease Pencil v3.

Plans

I'm planning to try my hands in designing and 3d printing props and toys, But exact details are unclear at the moment. I'm very good at structural designing these stuff, and I'm looking at potentially presenting my progress on Blender Conference or just on YouTube.

This week I have made some progress with the resin print of my articulated character base model:

Otherwise, planning on more paintings on "The Continent" project. The different aspect ratio thing is always bothering me, since I'm always thinking about a book format, it can be quite hard to layout something that varies aspect ratio.

Anyways, hope all of you have a great day!
