On FoundryVTT, using Grapejuice Isometrics.

This week on Saturday lancer, the party began their dragon hunt on Caliburnus. They'd need to trek through the wilderness, using their skills to avoid riling up the forest too much while approaching their prey. They opted to take the river path, and ran into the Metal Men.

While previous Cynthia seemed to have made a good impression on them, at the sight of Ea (Ria's mech), they were sent into a frenzy and started attacking the party.

Mission deets under cut:

Mission // 005

Dragon Hunt

After the tense mission on Ulone Fortuna Wing decides to travel first to Cephus for vacation, and then to Caliburnus once Dandelion's curiosity of the oddities regarding Arianna's home become too much to bear. Caliburnus is an incredibly dangerous world, and simply leaving the settlement necessitates being in a mech suit lest one perishes.

Driven to seek answers, the party requests a chance to hunt a dragon as Arianna has mentioned them before, and Maeve grants them the right—but no more than that—to drive off Tiarna Dóiteáin who has nested close enough to be a risk. Arianna hopes to speak with the other Cursed Ones in order to find why Ea has gone silent, but before that they must succeed in hunting the Lord of Fire…

Goals

Find the Lord of Fire's resting place.

Drive the "dragon" off.

Enemy OPFOR

Wildly varied local flora and fauna, likely primarily biological units.

Though the locals and Arianna are familiar with the wildlife, that does not necessarily translate into Scan-quality knowledge.

Potential encounters include: Metal Men, Centaurus, Ironbeaks, Steel Crackers, Furnace Flowers, Shambling Trees, Vine Men, Luring Snappers, Rolling Clickers, Web Swarmers, Strangling Waters, Living Flames, Moving Forests, and Dragon Scales.

Reserves

Environmental shielding (On Ria)

Boosted Servos

Access

Knowledge

Special Conditions

Living World: At the start of every Round, roll 1d6. On 4+, the location of every character that moved last Round is targeted by "Living Thorns", which activate at the end of the current Round.

Choking Miasma: Areas around fungal terrain count as Hard Cover, but units within them cannot draw Line of Sight outside of them. These areas are designated by Purple measurement templates.

Hostile Flora: Ending a turn in soft cover granted by plants deals 1 AP Kinetic damage. Any attempt to clear out plant-based soft cover must deal a minimum of 5 damage in a single attack, otherwise the cover is unaffected. Fire/fire-effects from attacks or abilities do not spread, unless explicitly stated by it.

River Path

The Great Tree that Làirig Dhrù rests upon condenses much of the local rainfall, converting it into flowing rivers leading down. Following this flow allows for quick traversal, assuming you're willing to risk the dangers involved.

Primary Objective: Defeat all enemy units.

Secondary Objective // 1: Allow a Metal Man to summon a Moving Forest, then defeat it. (0/1)

Reward: x1 CORE battery As a rule, even the most hostile of flora seem to respect the Metal Men. Likely due to their inedible nature, and tendency to care for them.

Special Conditions

Torus: Moving into one of the Torus's hexes immediately causes that unit to be randomly teleported to one of the other Torus hexes.

Enemy comp for this map includes:

Metal Men, who are Tokolosh (Field Guide to Mfecane) Veterans with a special ability to affect both Biological units with tech attacks and spend a Full Action to summon Reinforcements. Their gimmick is to Lure players out of hiding, slap them with Death Clock to force a player to maintain Danger Zone. This combos with—

Ironbeaks, who are Nosferatu (Lancer Enhanced Combat) that primarily hunt high heat targets. While not mandatory, I played them as predator animals mostly focused on hunting down high heat (both player and enemy), so they mostly hover out of combat and only swoop in when someone hits the Danger Zone. The Bite to absorb heat, then attack repeatedly with Talon once exposed. +Heat Seeking to make their targeting priorities clear. Slightly customized with the Monstrosity's +Winged.

Furnace Flower Seedlings, who are Stormcallers (Field Guide to Liminal Space) with the Turret Template (Maximum Threat) +Fixed. Their job is to mostly be a long range nuisance on the other side of the river, forcing players to deal with them or slowly get burned and impaired.

Spear Roots, who are Monstrosities with +Natural Camouflage and +Burrower. They only activate when someone is within LOS and Sensors, and then will target whoever they think is the weakest. Mostly just a hassle.

Vine Blights, Monstrosity Grunts with the Revenant Template (Maximum Threat), whose gimmick is being able to survive dying once (unless overkilled enough to remove the wreckage). Low risk but demanding two actions across two Rounds to put down for good.

Vine Men, Barricades with the Horror Template (Dustgrave), but really just for a custom trait called +Living that turns them Biological. Comes with +Drag Down to be a threat to the team's Nelson.

Walking Forest, a Brute (Lancer Enhanced Combat) Veteran with a renamed +Grafted Weapon who job it is is to be a big scary meatshield.

Had to call it at the top of Round 4, we rolled Living Thorns going off every Round. Burst 4, attack roll for 4 AP Kinetic damage Hull Save vs Prone, miss halves damage and no Prone. Not supposed to be huge damage (and the attack roll means our Saladin's abilities can help reduce damage or risk), but makes a constant pressure on the players when it goes off. You can only ever be attacked by a single Living Thorn no matter how many aoes you are in.

How to Interpret Patent Drawings: A Guide for Beginners and Inventors

Patent drawings are essential components of many patent applications, especially for inventions involving physical structures, mechanisms, or design features. Interpreting these drawings may seem daunting at first for beginners and inventors new to the patenting process. However, with a basic understanding of the layout, labelling, and conventions used in patent drawings, anyone can learn to read them with confidence.

This guide aims to help beginners and inventors decode patent drawings, understand their purpose, and extract the valuable technical and legal information they convey.

What Are Patent Drawings?

Patent drawings are visual representations of an invention that help illustrate the structure, functionality, or design described in the patent's written specification. These drawings are especially useful when the invention is complex or mechanical in nature. Patent drawings are required or strongly recommended in most jurisdictions to clarify the written description of an invention.

There are two main types of patent drawings:

Utility Patent Drawings – These drawings depict the functional aspects of an invention. They show how the invention works, its internal components, and how the parts interact.

Design Patent Drawings – These focus on the ornamental design or appearance of a product rather than its function.

Why Patent Drawings Matter

Clarity: They make it easier to understand technical descriptions.

Legal Support: They support and clarify the written claims, which define the legal boundaries of the patent.

Requirement: Many patent offices (e.g., USPTO) require drawings if they are necessary for understanding the invention.

Faster Examination: Well-drawn, accurate drawings can reduce back-and-forth communication with patent examiners and speed up the application process.

The Standard Elements in a Patent Drawing

1. Figure Numbers (FIG.)

Each drawing or view is labelled with a figure number (e.g., FIG. 1, FIG. 2, etc.). These figures are referenced in the written patent description to explain the invention.

2. Views

Patent drawings may include several types of views:

Isometric or Perspective View: A 3D representation of the invention.

Top View, Front View, Side View: 2D views showing different angles.

Sectional View: A cut-away view showing the inside of the invention.

Exploded View: Shows components separated to explain assembly.

Each view provides unique information and together gives a comprehensive understanding.

3. Reference Numerals

Reference numbers (e.g., 101, 202a, etc.) are used to label each part of the invention. These numerals match the descriptions in the written part of the patent application. For example:

104 might refer to a "motor"

106 could be a "shaft"

108 might be a "gear"

4. Part Labels

Some drawings may include short labels (like A, B, C) along with reference numerals to indicate directions or steps in a process.

5. Lead Lines

Thin lines connect the reference numerals to the relevant parts of the invention in the drawing.

How to Interpret Patent Drawings Step-by-Step

Step 1: Read the Patent Abstract and Description

Before jumping into the drawing itself, read the abstract and detailed description of the patent. These sections explain what the invention does and how it works, and they’ll often reference specific figures (e.g., “As shown in FIG. 3…”).

Step 2: Identify the Figures

Find the figure number mentioned in the text. Start with FIG. 1, which typically provides a general overview of the invention. Later figures often zoom in on specific components or alternative configurations.

Step 3: Look at the Reference Numerals

Find the reference numerals in the drawing and match them to the numbered list in the patent description. This will help you identify what each part in the drawing represents.

Example: In the written description: “104 refers to a cylindrical motor that drives the gear assembly.”

In the drawing: Reference numeral 104 will be placed next to the motor component.

Step 4: Understand the Viewpoint

Pay attention to the type of view. Is it a front view? A side view? A cross-sectional view? The caption usually specifies this, and it affects how you interpret the orientation and shape of parts.

Step 5: Compare Views

If the invention is shown from multiple perspectives, compare the same components across different figures to better understand their shape and placement.

Step 6: Check for Hidden Elements

Dashed or broken lines often indicate hidden parts (such as components inside a housing), or, in design patents, may indicate unclaimed portions of the design.

Step 7: Use the Drawing to Support Understanding of Claims

The claims section of a patent defines what is legally protected. Go back and forth between the claims and the drawings to understand how the drawing supports the claimed invention.

Common Symbols and Line Types in Patent Drawings

Solid Lines: Represent visible edges or outlines.

Dashed Lines: Indicate hidden or internal components.

Phantom Lines: Often used to show alternate positions of a movable part.

Crosshatching: Shows sectional surfaces in cutaway views.

Arrows: Used to show motion, direction, or assembly/disassembly paths.

Design Patent Drawings vs Utility Patent Drawings

Feature

Utility Patent Drawing

Design Patent Drawing

Purpose

Explain how the invention works

Show how the invention looks

Focus

Structure, mechanism, function

Shape, surface, appearance

Number of Views

As needed for understanding

Usually 6–7 standard views

Line Use

Dashed for hidden, solid for visible

Solid for claimed design, dashed for unclaimed portions

For design patents, every visible surface must be shown. Even slight inconsistencies in shape between views can be grounds for rejection.

Tips for Beginners and Inventors

Use a highlighter to mark reference numerals in the patent text and match them on the drawing

Refer to online databases like Google Patents or the USPTO database to see how similar inventions are illustrated

Sketch the invention based on the drawing to better visualise how it functions

Ask for professional help from a patent agent or attorney if the drawing seems too technical

Why Understanding Patent Drawings Is Valuable

Helps you validate your own invention idea by analysing how others have approached similar problems

Enables better communication with patent illustrators and attorneys when filing your own application

Supports competitive analysis by reviewing your competitors' patents

Empowers you to spot infringements or identify areas for improvement

Summation

Interpreting patent drawings doesn't have to be intimidating. With a basic understanding of how figures, views, reference numerals, and lines work together, even novice inventors can gain valuable insights into an invention. Whether you're analysing existing patents or preparing your own, this skill is a crucial part of navigating the world of intellectual property.

As the saying goes, “A picture is worth a thousand words”, and in patent law, it could be worth a legal monopoly on a game-changing invention.

Blake

Peter Stumpf, a 3D and VFX hobbyist, has shared an extensive breakdown of his personal project, Blake on 80. lvl. During his project, he utilized ZBrush, Substance 3D Painter, and XGen. This project covered every aspect from sculpting to texturing, shading, grooming, and LookDev. Peter, who graduated from high school last year and will soon attend a VFX university in Cologne, Germany, used this project to prepare himself for his upcoming studies.

The process began with Peter gathering references and drawing inspiration from artworks. His approach was segmented into five main parts: sculpting, texturing, grooming, clothing creation, and LookDev, though he worked on these elements constantly.

For sculpting, Peter started with a DynaMeshed sphere in ZBrush, focusing on facial anatomy and gradually adding finer details such as wrinkles and pores. He utilized R3DSWrap to achieve improved topology and UVs, and employed ZBrush’s Displacement Map and XYZ Map for capturing micro-details. Once satisfied with the base shapes, he used Mari to project the displacement map onto his sculpture.

During the texturing phase, Peter relied heavily on Mari and high-resolution textures from VFace. He wrapped the VFace model onto his mesh to transfer textures and made extensive adjustments to correct errors and enhance realism. Techniques included creating various maps and using ISO (isometric) Maps for LookDev to refine shader values and ensure accurate texture details.

Grooming was another critical part of the project, with Peter using XGen for hair creation. He began by blocking out primary hair shapes in ZBrush and then added guides and modifiers in Maya. By breaking up hair into detailed descriptions and using various density and width masks, he achieved a natural look. He emphasized the importance of detail and organization in the grooming process.

Blake (Stumpf, 2024a)

For clothing, Peter created the base forms in ZBrush and refined them using Marvelous Designer before adding the final details in ZBrush. The texturing process for the t-shirt and the neck choker involved creating normal maps, painting details, and integrating them into Substance 3D Painter.

The final steps included LookDev and presentation. Peter experimented with different lighting setups in Maya, rendered the final image using Arnold, and then composited it in Nuke. He made use of color corrections, depth of field, and other effects in Nuke and DaVinci Resolve to enhance the final output.

The artist concluded by reflecting on the valuable lessons learned from the project. He emphasized the importance of gathering references early, and keeping work organized throughout all stages of creation. The pipeline he used is complex, utilizing multiple different programs, and approaches throughout the development of his artwork. I believe his advice on references and organized work is important and inspiring during my current and upcoming projects.
