Many things in the world are awful, but my latest #Blender3D work on my #steampunk control panel brought me great joy over the weekend
One of many steampunk control panels I’ve designed for pleasure.
Blender 3D Flyover of Fantasy Steampunk Spacecraft
When my kids were small, at bedtime we had interactive “blimpship stories,” set in a steampunk world. I would set up the latest plot developments, each child would pick a character they wanted to focus on, and I would play the DM as we role-played for 15-30 minutes. These stories grew amazingly complex and developed…
Mechanical #greebles (more #Blender3D practice)
Scoutship Flyby — #Blender3d and #MakeHuman
Playing with depth of field (blurring details that are closer than and farther from the focal point). #Blender3D #Steampunk
More #Blender3D practice. Additional details for a steampunk control panel. Just because.
I spent Thanksgiving break building a #trimsheet for steampunk control panels, because why not? #blender3d
Took the whole day off and spent part of it making #greebles with #Blender3D because reasons.
Apparently I’m using boolean modifiers to carve out negative-space greebles for a texture atlas. Or something. #blender3D
Added a pilot and cockpit details to my flyby of a #steampunk scout ship. Costume is a pre-fab placeholder. #makehuman #blender3D
Mechanical innards for a Steampunk set piece. #Blender3D #greebles
CEO’s brutalist office, for a Zoom-based production of R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots). #Blender3D
Set design for Acts II and III of R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots) #blender3d
Set design for a virtual production of R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots). Post-apocalyptic laboratory. #blender3d
Slow flyby of a scout shop. Starfield backdrop; particle-based engine exhaust; hull uses a Boolean modifier to cut out portholes; cockpit frame and text labels use shrinkwrap. #Blender3D
More progress as I continue to level up my #blender3d skills.
Leveling up my skills in #blender3D.
Using invisible shapes to cut holes in the hull, and a shrinkwrap modifier to align the cockpit frame and the glass.
Here I am sketching spaceships like I’m 12 again. I feel like re-reading the novelization of “The Black Hole” and watching Johnny Quest. #lockdown #blender3D
Book geyser. My latest #Blender3D practice.
In a peaceful grassy setting, a geyser of books spews into the air. Hundreds of books with steampunk-themed titles like “Modern Manners Errata for the Educated Officer” and “Advanced Elocution and Honor” tumble back to the ground, bounce, and settle. Made for no particular reason, with Blender3D.
Wide-angle view of a villain’s secret lair. #blender3d
