Valarcraft PDF Reader

A simple Android reader for local PDF files and manuals, with offline reading, continuous scrolling, pinch to zoom, Fit page, Fit width and fullscreen viewing. No ads, accounts or analytics.

I started the first prototype while fitting the barrel sauna roof. Three prompts in, I remember thinking: this was easier than logging into Adobe Reader. It’s had a lot more development, testing and polish since those sauna-roof beginnings.

BLENDER ADD-ON / FREE & OPEN SOURCE

Texel Uniformity Tool

A small tool for a repetitive part of making 3D assets.

Unwrap selected Blender meshes independently, measure texel density, and give objects a consistent average texture density.

  • Bulk Smart UV ProjectEach selected mesh keeps its own UV layout.
  • Measure densityCheck the active mesh in pixels per centimetre.
  • Set a shared targetApply the same whole-mesh average density across selected objects.

Made by Artem Makeev. Free and open source under GPL-3.0-or-later. See GitHub for installation, compatibility and the tool’s limits.

The Blender Extensions submission is awaiting review. The add-on is available from GitHub and Gumroad.

A compact strategy game about holding the line—and making every shot, power source, and upgrade count.

The larger 3D project: canyon landscapes, defensive hardware, and a world built in Unreal Engine.

In development

A bigger world
to defend.

A look at the terrain, atmosphere, and weapon prototypes from my 3D project.

Planned for PC stores such as Steam and Epic Games. Release timing is still to come.

Before the games,
there were experiments.

Wood, light, landscapes, and little worlds. A few pieces from my own development archive.
