The process used to create the mecha designs in 3D modeling program Fusion is fascinating and the designs and game tokens end up looking great. If you love RPGs this post is definitely for you, but everyone should get a kick out of seeing these mecha come to life. Make sure to check out the earlier posts in this series and two more recent posts as well: a short original screenplay featuring Gaia's Worst and the next post in the ongoing solo campaign, covering setting up the battlefield for the next engagement.

I want to create a place for animation related content on Steemit. I want people to learn about, and get interested in the artform I love more than anything else, share my passion and maybe even set some sparks in some people's hearts. |

You may be wondering, "What is a mocafurb?" Excellent question! I turn to
Mocafurbs, in case you are curious, actually stands for Monster Cat Fur Balls, which, essentially, is what they are: Balls of fur with feline features and personality traits (that's also where the "monster" in the name comes from XD ).
They are also super cute!

Elementary fermions: the particles of matter… (Particle Physics Series – Episode 3A)
This featured poster is a real life most interesting man in the world! In his own words:
After a few years in Academia in France preparing my PhD and then in Hiroshima University (Japan), I worked as a researcher for a bit more than a decade for a water treatment company in The Netherlands. Then, I woke up. I slammed the door and decided to spread my wings. So I caught up on what I really loved: composing music and teaching sciences. Now, 4 years later, I make a comfortable living from these two activities as a music producer for media and as a private Physics teacher. Longboarding and gardening are my hobbies. I used to be an Aikido-ka too but I had to stop training about a year ago. Still, I know I will go back train in the dojo when the time is right.Music producer... physics teacher... longboarder... Aikido-ka... now that is what I call a well-rounded individual.
With a goal of presenting particle physics in terms that could be understood by a reader at the high school level, it is the latest installment of the Particle Physics series covering elementary fermions that we are featuring today:

Reading this series from the beginning has taught me a lot about the way the world works at the sub-atomic level.

Volvo V90 Full Review and Road Test
Our final featured author today is actually a team effort, bringing us extremely well produced video car reviews.
The Planet Auto team - from left, Ben, Annabelle and Michael (photo courtesy of
Michael was good enough to tell us the Planet Auto story:
Myself, Ben & Annabelle relaunched Planet Auto back at the start of 2017, our direction changed focus to car reviews, something new to all of us. Our idea was to provide high quality impartial car reviews, which the industry is crying out for. It looks like 2018 is going to be our biggest year yet with a whole host of cars lined up for review, everything from Alfa Romeo through to Audi. Planet Auto started out in 2005 with a website, and has grown exponentially into what it is today, an automotive media outlet. The Planet Auto platform combined with Steemit provides us with the ideal opportunity to share our two loves, cars and reviewing them.
In this showcase we are featuring a review of the spacious, dependable and (perhaps surprisingly) stylish Volvo V90:

The Planet Auto team puts together a really thorough review, with Ben covering the interior and exterior design features of the car and Michael informing us on how the V90 drives. Visit their post to watch the video and find out how they rate the Volvo V90!
