Most studio or developer I know that works with 3D in web always use baked lighting. Realtime always cost more especially on mobile.

I would not call that excellent, decent maybe. Maybe we have different standard or taste. I myself like collecting landing page that I think great.[1]

Impressive, I test on old iPhone, it's works seamlessly!

Like other already mentioned, the orientation is bit odd, like you play with guitar facing you.

There's plenty virtual instrument that use keyboard as input, you can even modified as simple or complex. I don't remember the name but there's desktop Piano app and browser based virtual Drum.

Even before AI, brutalist style is not that popular compared to flat, glassmorphism, skeuomorphism etc. Two popular website that use brutalist that I remember is Gumroad and Figma.

Someone in the community will, or already do it. 3D model of Apple product is easier to find than other brands.

Actually, I've been looking this kind of official drawing for practice product modeling and rendering.

> ...before, MacOS was a big factor driving me towards Apple - now, it would be hard for me to give up my Linux setup

I can relate to that. MacOS was my dream OS, even I installed Linux elementaryOS before I can get hand on Mac. Catalina is my favorite, I don't bother upgrade to BigSur and beyond. Now my Macbook is dead, I don't have reason anymore to get another one, maybe if Apple support Nvidia again somehow.

Very steep, at least in my experience. Even compared to Cinema 4D and Blender which I grasp the basic just in 1-3 days. Darktable doesn't use industry standard UI/UX so you need learning from zero.

Does it also apply to independent "eau" word in fragrance or perfume, like "eau" de toilet?

To me Indieweb just another name for personal website or personal blog. Since it's personal, I guess people can do anything to their website, including looking for job.

> Having a CV seems antithetical to the entire idea of indieness.

By that logic, Indie music artist can't sell their song.

Work Louder the company behind this, is TE in mechanical keyboard industry.

This one in collaboration with Work Louder[1] a company that specialized on mechanical keyboard. I don't see Jony Ive in this. Or maybe your comment is sarcasm, I can't tell.

Duo is perfect middle ground between monospace and proportional sans, in my opinion at least. There's also Trispace[1].

Curious, what's issues you encounter that LLM or Blender forum can't help? I also still learning Blender though not complex like yours (Product and Architecture), and LLM help me so much, it is save times that I previously will search on forum and YouTube.
