Autumn

I am so far behind on this blog I missed a whole season. Have been busy trying to keep up with work I have struggled to do any personal work. Not a healthy thing for progres I am sure. It will hopefully be busy until the end of year then I will have a chance to stop and reflect.

Self portrait Nov 1 2019

Managed to squeeze a few hours to do a self prortrait for November 1st. It was a really big deal on the now defunct conceptart.org. It keeps going on Facebook but it is not the same. Anyway it is good to put down a marker - another year.

Fountains

Fountain

I have tried to keep posting regularly here since 2011. I have really struggled the past few weeks. I have been working on a lot of client work and its all NDA. My time for personal work has dwindled to almost zero. I did manage to get through some tutorials on fluids in Blender. This one by Olav3D was really useful. This was my attempt.

A week or two later I got to play around with it and made a fountain and tried some different lighting.

Map

Here are a couple of recent images I worked on. Mostly line work and a simple render. The advantage is that they can be created in a short amount of time and be revised quickly. Useful for small commission work. The settlement I used 3d to work out placing and camera. Also used a blender file using 3d to create a 2d map.

Eighties

Another packed week but I have a result of a turorial I followed video. This was created by Polygon Runway. I found their work on Dribble and thought it would be a good challenge to follow along. From this I did learn how to use the single vert to make the cables and pipes. I changed out some of the details as I was around in the 80s. Video is a close up on some details.

Blender Bedroom

Back to 3D following a tutorial by Jayanam. on YouTube. I followed the tutorial then played around with renders a little. I also used the SVG export option to see the effects.
