PICTURES
Here's a collection of photos I made with the open-source software Blender! Color-grading was done using Lightroom-Classic!
Here are some images I took in the USA!
Hover over them to view more information!
The famous Golden-Gate-Bridge! Was a bit cloudy that day, but that probably made it even better!
A chipmunk! We found them in a lot of different places. They were really friendly, weren't even scared of us, thus making photographing them pretty easy!
Nothing much to say here, but sometimes even the simple, minimalistic photos turn out quite cool!
We found this cool-looking bird! Fits well with the cloudy weather and the black stone, monochrome from nature!
All these were taken with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ71, a surprisingly good travel camera for a low price.
Click on one of the pictures to see information about it, or visit my ArtStation profile. I'm also on Instagram!
Resources
Here are some good websites and useful resources I use regularly:
- development -
-> vercel [link] A really good web-hosting platform that offers many features for free! I use it in almost all my projects.
-> MDN-Docs [link] My go-to platform if I have any problems with HTML/CSS/JS, or for exploring all the posibilities!
-> fontshare [link] Fonts for your website, similar to google-fonts. The library is a bit smaller, but with the same functionality and without trackers!
- graphics -
-> photopea [link] A good browser-based image editor for quick edits!
-> postimages [link] Best service for hosting your images, without compressing them!
-> caesium-ic [link] Desktop software to optimize your images to make your page load faster.
-> raw therapee [link] A free Lightroom alternative for high quality color grading.
- inspiration for web-design -
-> awwwards [link] Find websites with unique and outstanding designs.
-> brutalistwebsites [link] A list of websites with extreme designs.
-> three js [link] A library for advanced 3D-websites, also features a lot of good sites.

Blog
About me
Hi! Firstly, thank you for visiting my website! Glad to have you here.
As to me, my name is Richard. (Crazy, right?) I'm really interested in everything computer related!
I've done some coding, 3D-art, game-development - even digital drawing!
I'm no real expert in any of these, I just do them as a hobby.
Skills
Some things I learned during my journey:
-> Blender I use it to create some cool 3D worlds!
-> HTML/CSS/JS Obviously used to create this site.
-> GD-Script The language of Godot! Used for some light game-development.
-> Python Useful for a lot of projects. Still in the process of learning it, though.
Pseudonym
Since I had only a phone when starting programming / content creation, I made apps on it! I decided to keep the name, since it's more or less unique - even though I don't do mobile development anymore.
Site Goals
Why did I made this site you may ask?
It's just nice to have a personal space where I can host and show whatever I want, while having full control over it.
Long live the indie-web!
Contact
I mostly prefer Discord for contact! As you may have guessed, my username there is 'richardapps'.
