Beautiful. No Data / Lore opposition required.
Trimsheets baked with greebly texture goodness add eye-pleasing woodgrain & tech details to these simple cubes. #blender3d #blender3dart #steampunk #design #aesthetics #cgi
Another #steampunk interior. High tech garden gazebo or away team dropship? Why not both? #blender3d #aesthetics #design
Random #steampunk workstation with a porthole, because why not. Most of the surfaces are flat, with lovely details added through bitmap magic. Those curved stairs, when stacked, form a spiral staircase. #blender3d #blender3dart #design #aesthetics
Behind the art: The Westmoreland’s ‘Death of Elaine’ beloved of staff and visitors
I always slow down and spend some time with this painting when I visit my local art museum. This scene from the Arthurian legends has been out of exhibition for a while and will be back with a new frame Oct 16. A scene of mourning at Camelot, the castle of the legendary King Arthur,…
Engrossing but difficult to watch: “Man in Cave” documentary on caver Floyd Collins
I’m conflicted. This is a very well done animated documentary, creating visuals that were not part of the original press coverage of Floyd Collins, the caver trapped in Sand Cave in 1925, and the subject of the first media circus, fed by the emerging new medium of radio journalism.

First time experimenting with depth of field. The pilot’s perch in a fancy #steampunk cruiser. #blender3d #blender3dart #design #aesthetics

Bilbo’s party sociological infographic.
Tweaking yesterday’s #steampunk workstations. Now with darker wood (better contrast with controls) and more pre-rendered texture detail. Brightened a bit in post. #blender3D #blender3dart #design #aesthetics

Gen Z Never Learned to Read Cursive
When I used to teach a “Media and Culture” class, I had students do an oral project, a handwriting project, a typewriter/cut-and-paste project, and a digital project, and we spent quite a bit of time reading and talking about how the ways we read and write affect not only what we read and write about,…
