LIFE SIZE AUTOTURRET[rust.facepunch.com]
This thing deserved its own section. Ok_Marsupial6435 has created a life size airsoft autoturret!





Seems it's a work in progress.

"It will feature 2-axis AI motion tracking using CV, 2 T-motor pancake actuators, a servo for the trigger, and a STM32H7A3 microcontroller. It will mirror the game mechanics exactly. Most of the parts are CNC aluminum, weighing about 60 lbs."

You can follow along here!


3D BLENDER ART[rust.facepunch.com]
Dust recently embarked on a somewhat self-taught adventure of re-creating 3D rust scenes using Blender. I've always been a big of fan of this type of art style. We see a lot Youtube creators adopting these for thumbnails. Happy to see it getting more love!

Here's a handful of scenes he's made. Enjoy! :)





He asked we give a special shoutout to the 3D artist community! He said they helped him out a lot with learning and were very welcoming!


MORE 3D[rust.facepunch.com]
Sinks is making a Rust movie! All he would give me was this teaser. He was being rather stubborn about it too.



I will say the music choice is really giving off some kind of vibe. I'll try and get some more from him. This looks exciting!
