Click for full version of crop:
Certainly not designed as a detailed model it’s pretty much the 3D version of a doodle / sketch.
Wipeout was a sort of inspiration, that low flying fast ship idea. Probably only one person per ship, piloting.
Total time from scratch to render: probably about an hour.
Blender 3D and Bunkspeed Hypershot.

Stripes

26Aug08

Sat down with Blender just to have some fun.
I love 2.46’s glossy reflections.
I noticed after I posted that the colours match my blog quite well.
Note I used “real” ambient occlusion to give it that grainier effect. I still love approx. AO, don’t worry.

Deck

Eating on the deck in the summer, flowers lovin’ the sun.
Sorry, no pictures of food.
Yup, random picture of the day.

Lock

16Aug08

A small test involving an idea I saw somewhere.
Physical security for your digital flash drive. Brilliant.
Still not quite happy with the results, but I’ll revise it later. I feel it could be a lot more realistic.

Rose

15Aug08

Just a simple array test (I seem to be doing a lot of these lately)
Somewhat reminds me of a red glass shuriken thinger. Predator style frisbee…
And a similar one:

Blue Sky

10Aug08

I know the title breaks my rules of one word titles (with exception of the word “the” as seen in the post below) but I think I’ll have to eventually. “Wave” was a candidate for this piece, but sounded so boring.
Exactly 5 minute render (including DoF processing) at 5 sample AA. Interestingly enough, the render [...]

The Machine

10Aug08

Well, it’s not really steampunk (or at least not as much as I would have hoped) but more reminds me of Myst or Submachine (actually, all of the submachine games) as it is very much “It’s just you locked in a room with a machine. Where does the telephone connect to?”
Certainly not my best work, [...]

Lamp

09Aug08

haha!
I have (once again) found Steampunk to be the ultimate in things that are cool (to me, at least. I don’t care what everyone else says) and so have started some of my own Blender Steampunk art. Enjoy my very first; the humble wall lamp.
Please note that the lamp isn’t actually on, and thus the [...]

Arrays

09Aug08

Just a random test made very quickly (thanks to my new default node setup)
There are quite a few (arrays are so fun to play with) but I think that one turned out the best.

Jell-O

30Jul08

It has come to my attention in the comment of Gloss Ring that I should make one made of Jell-O. So I did.
Enjoy this small little 15 minute project (13.5 mins spent on rendering)
Both green and red. (click the picture to get the full view, for green)
Any other material suggestions? This is becoming good for [...]
