Not bad for a couple hours of work. #blender3d #blender3dart #steampunk #neovictorian I painstakingly created every knob and switch as a 3D object two summers ago. Now I can slap these textures anywhere.

That Much-Despised Apple Ad Could Be More Disturbing Than It Looks
Apple has apologized, but like writer Peter C. Baker, I’m not quite ready to let go of that really horrifying ad depicting a roomful of beautifully displayed musical instruments, sound gear, art supplies, and even toys being slowly squashed by a huge hydraulic press (ostensibly to highlight the creative potential of the latest iPad). Picture…
Delightfully geeky news story about a legal kerfuffle over typefaces
I’m very amused at this nerdy news story about some tension between a judge who asks for legible documents and a lawyer who files documents with flasher typography. While I recognize that language changes and the distinction between “font” and “typeface” is unimportant to the general public, I teach my journalism students that historically…
Your first #blender3d retractable #steampunk landing wheels will be your worst. But you have to start somewhere.

More modular, swappable building components. I’ve got to work on the sides of these mid-sized buildings next. #blender3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay

More modular low-poly background buildings. I’ll do some more facades then move to the next size larger. #blender3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay

Added multiple swappable upper storeys. Next I will make slightly fewer variations of a slightly larger building. #blender3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay

Modular low-poly medieval buildings. Ground-level storefronts have more detail than the upper storey windows and interiors. #blender3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay #gettingthere
Modular low-poly medieval buildings. Ground-level storefronts have more detail than the upper storey windows and interiors. #blender3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay #gettingthere My second try is definitely better than my first from a few weeks ago. I’ve told myself at this stage, no props! No barrels or crates or hay bales, wall sconces, procedurally-generated random street…
My simulation project does not require me to master medieval daub and wattle architecture. But sadly, I now know just enough to be disappointed by this first attempt. #blender3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay #keepgoing

A crushing backlash to Apple’s new iPad ad
Have you seen Apple’s “Crush” ad? It features a huge huge hydraulic press crushing musical instruments, art supplies, google-eyed toys, and other beloved artifacts of imagination and creativity. I remember seeing a video years ago that showed how a smartphone replaced a desktop full of tools like a calculator, notepad, rolodex, and so forth. But…
Remnants of a Legendary Typeface Rescued From the River Thames
A little over a century ago, the printer T.J. Cobden-Sanderson took it upon himself to surreptitiously dump every piece of this carefully honed metal letterpress type into the river. It was an act of retribution against his business partner, Emery Walker, whom he believed was attempting to swindle him. With its extra-wide capital letters, diamond shaped punctuation and…

No interior yet. Getting there. Gotta start somewhere. Low-poly background detail for a medieval theater project. #blender3d
