Camera Obscura, Junior, and Basic 3D 2025.06.01

We had a cookout


Camera Obscura

A Camera Obscura (henceforth reffered as C.O.) is a dark room with a small aperture open to the outside which lets the light inside, this light reflects an inverted picture of the outside view, which can be really, really dim depending on the aperture and level of light, phone cameras with higher exposure can capture the colors in a higher definition.

If you were on the Nekoweb Discord you would’ve gotten a preview

Here is how the setup looks from the outside.

A window blocked out by a huge black paper with a small aluminum apperture at the center.

I really liked the dim lights and the image projected from the outside, it was kind of saddening just being in the darkness taking pictures, I missed my girlfriend while I sat there alone.

Junior

School finished sometime before this blog post, and the more I think about it, it gets more amazing to me, this is the year in which I did the most things, I did so many chemistry labs, worked with my friends, deepened my relationship with my girlfriend, a ton of hard work and suffering did pay off, countless prayers were answered, and it all ended with a cookout. At one of our friends’ house we went to a cookout and ate meat, chicken, and rice, it was amazing spending my time at the end of the school year just reminiscing on my accomplishments, this time of my life will end up forever in my memories screaming the phrase, “I did it”, over and over, my grades were impeccable, my finals were amazing scores as well, I am still continuing summer school to get ahead of my classmates and also enrolling in a dual enrollment opportunity (participating in college-level classes). Next year will be difficult, but I am sure I will get through it.

I also plan to maintain this website more, post more often, maybe actually treat it as a diary, who knows.

3D Modeling

After playing some Garry’s Mod for the first time with my friend I chose a player model based on PsychoPomp’s protagonist, so I decided to lurk more and find the source of the model, downloaded it, downloaded blender along with a .vrm addon and decided to play around with it.

The result:

First try :( nothing saved so I had to redo everything, consequently learned about object and pose modes. Also this happens when I try to render 1920x1920.
