From this station on the bridge, the exposition officer can relay whatever random bit of information the plot requires, thanks to the multiple brass readouts on the curved wood consoles. #blender3dart #blender3d #steampunk #neovictorian

Get a load of the upholstery on that chair! This is a 3D visualization of the bridge of the fantasy interplanetary cruiser I created for an epic, interactive, episodic bedtime story I told my kids from about 2007-2012. Elsewhere the ship has more steampunk elements, but this part of the ship is more neo-Victorian. Something…

Google engineers mined the text adventure game “Zork” for AI image prompts

YouTube commenter Bob Hepple writes, “Two minds about this. On the one hand – wow! OTOH – my mental imagery (of the original 1977 Crowther and Woods Adventure game, I never played Zork as such) is so strong and precious that I kinda hate watching someone else’s version. Much like how I hate the LotR…

Now that I have polished so many details, I’m working on more selective lighting. #steampunk #neovictorian #blender3d #design #aesthetics #blender3dart

More #steampunk #neovictorian goodness. Bring the wood polish. #design #aesthetics #blender3dart

Report to the bridge so the captain can assess your virtual upholstery skills. #blender3d #neovictorian #steampunk #design #aesthetics #blender3dart

Prepare to lower the personnel deployment gondola from the forward eployment bay, two decks below the main bridge.#blender3d #steampunk #neovictorian #design #aesthetics #blender3dart

So many dials to polish. More workstations. #steampunk #neovictorian #design #aesthetics #blender3dart #blender3d

I just finished recalibrating the port scanner station and lookout post. If you need help on starboard, scribe me. #steampunk #neovictorian #blender3d #design #aesthetics #blender3dart

Report to bay 3, where tea will be served as the gondola delivers you to the planet’s surface. Mind the gap. #blender3d #steampunk #neovictorian #design #aesthetics #blender3dart

After your shift at the protocol station, join me in the officers’ lounge, just up the spiral staircase from the main bridge. #blender3d #steampunk #neovictorian #design #aesthetics #blender3dart

Practicing with materials and geometry. The lamps and chair require hundreds of times as much geometry as the walls and furniture, which look great but are mostly flat planes. #blender3d #steampunk #design #aesthetics #blender3dart

Tricking the eye to see 3D details in geometrically flat surfaces for my #steampunk #blender3d personal project. #aesthetics #design #blender3dart

Forward is the officers’ wardroom. To the right is an airlock. Left leads to the on-call officers’ bunkroom. Not happy with the misaligned texture on the chair back, but it’s fixable. #blender3d #steampunk #design #aesthetics #blender3dart

Just a random side corridor in the #neovictorian #steampunk cruiser I’ve been building in #blender3d for fun. #design #aesthetics #blender3dart

Top deck of a #neovictorian #steampunk cruiser needs an airlock at the top of the spiral staircase and a railing to keep awkward robots from falling through the skylight. #blender3d #design #aesthetics
