It’s been a very snowy January here in Enfield (just north of London, UK). I drive past this park on my school run every day and keep seeing the bandstand with snow on the roof. Today, before the snow disappeared, I decided to get some pictures. I’m quite proud of them.
Won’t you have a look?
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!
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
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 love using Blender but every so often I do manage to find something I can’t do with it. That doesn’t necessarily mean it can’t do it. It simply means I can’t figure out how.
I’m sure it’s quite well known that I’m an avid fan of Blender. However, this does not lead me to ignore the quality produced from other 3D softwares. Especially when it involves incredible talent and great entertainment.
A man going by the name of Pantural on YouTube has created this animation of car models which, to be completely honest, blew me away. So I’m sharing it with you all. ‘ave a look.
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.
My good friend Mr. Burgess pointed me to this incredible video of a young Ukrainian lady making a story with just a lightboard and some sand. It’s a similar thing to those tea adverts, only live. Amazing work.
This is another one of those projects I ended up doing because of a question asked at Blender Underground. The question was how to make a transparent cloud layer on a planet. So I had a go, got carried away, and made this little planet, a little low-detail ship with particles behind it and some clouds. I guess I should go try to answer the guy’s question now.
