More fun with Blender! I’ve made a worm. It was in response (as so many of my little projects are) to a question over on the Blender Underground Forums.
It took me about an hour to model this little chap and a couple of hours to sort out the funky little animation. Hope you all like [...]

Things are going great with Danté. I’ve still got to rig his arms/hands and do a decent face rig. And some small repairs. But he’s looking good:

Having not done much with the Blender fluid simulator in an awful long time, and out of curiosity which had been raised by a question, I’ve done this little animation.
Made in Blender 2.49b.

Here’s how I’m doing with my practice at making faces in Blender. I started with some photos I found on the ‘net. You can see those in a previous entry. But now I’ve moved on to a self portrait and modelling the faces of friends. And I can honestly say, the more I do, the [...]

I’m really enjoying making 3D head models at the moment. After the whole edge-loop thing clicked in my mind, it just became a lot easier to do. This WIP is a model of one of my fellow Blender Underground members. All made with Blender.

Step One

In Step One, I’ve modelled the whole face but still need [...]

Made entirely with Blender. The skin has SSS. The hair is partical hair. The eyes have refraction through the cornea. Everything could be better but I like it.

And it looks REALLY weird animated:

Now that I’ve got to grips with face modeling in Blender, I thought I deserved a trophy. So, I took a couple of pictures of me, modeled my face and created this trophy. Yay, me!

3D Self-Portrait Trophy

Over the years I have tried, on occasion, to model a realistic face. I’ve had varying degrees of success leading up to this, my first decent face model. All the loops are right. All the proportions are right. Well, as far as I can tell, they’re right.
This is what it looks like:

Happy new year, everybody. Hope you all have a fantastic 2010

Happy New Year 2010

2009 is finally over. It wasn’t a great year but, for me at least, it was filled with positives. I’m positively glad it’s 2010 though. Here’s hoping that it’ll be a great new year and new decade.
Only 358 days to Christmas [...]

I wonder if snowmen could actually be this stupid. Here’s my annual snowman image made with Blender. I make one of these snowmen pictures each year. Always great fun.
