The officers’ conference room, looking aft. A small reading nook to the right. The first officer’s office is through the small door. Soft green aether glow pulses in the forward core. #blender3d #steampunk #design. #blender3dart #aesthetics

Behind the bar in the officers’ pub, from the #steampunk bedtime stories I used to tell my kids. The door to the left leads forward through the first officer's office. #blender3d #design #aesthetics #blender3dart

More #blender3d #steampunk goodness. #design #aesthetics #blender3dart

Looking forward in the back room of the officers' pub, in the #steampunk cruiser from the bedtime stories I used to tell my kids. More experiments with lighting. #blender3d #design #aesthetics #blender3dart #cgiart

Lighting makes a difference. The officers’ pub from the interplanetary cruiser #steampunk bedtime stories I used to tell my kids. #blender3d #aesthetics #design #blender3dart

The first officer’s office adjoins the officers’ pub, because of course it should. Working with lighting and textures for my #steampunk #neovictorian #blender3d project. #blender3dart #design #aesthetics

Learning the hard way, by making mistakes and starting over. The fore section of the fantasy #steampunk spaceship from the bedtime stories I used to tell my (now adult) children. So much brass and glass! #blender3d #blender3dart #design #aesthetics

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

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

Combined, base color, roughness and metallic passes. #Blender3d steampunk control panel.

Many things in the world are awful. But creating this #steampunk #blender3d control panel helped me pass an hour or two quite joyfully. #design #aesthetic

More #steampunk #blender3d goodness. #design #cgi #blender3dart

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

Above the Forward Ops conference platform we see the chief engineer’s station and a glimpse of the pilot’s perch. Nice reflections on those beautiful control panels. #blender3d #design #aesthetics #steampunk

A gangway, flanked by still more #steampunk control panels, leads forward from the chief engineer’s station to the pilot’s perch. #blender3d #design #aesthetics

The chief engineer of a fantasy #steampunk flagship needs a small booth for shift change reporting, and a workstation for the busy engineer’s mate. The control panels I worked on all summer are just background eye candy, but boy do they look nice. #blender3d #blender3dart #design #aesthetics

One deck below the bridge, the chief engineer coordinates with his technical heads here at the Forward Ops conference table. #steampunk #blender3d #design #blender3dart #aesthetics

Many of these individual steampunk control panel elements are repeated, but I’ve arranged them in modular variations that should increase the “background eye candy” factor. #steampunk #blender3d #aesthetics #blender3dart #design #greebles
