Short-range #neovictorian excursion craft, now with glowing power orbs! Over the past year I’ve created so many themed assets (wall units, control panels, random #greebles) that fleshing out the interior only took a few spare evenings. #steampunk #blender3d #blender3dart #design #aesthetics

Progress over 11 years of Blender3D practice

Over the past few years I have created lots of assets, including control panels, furniture, and textures, for an ongoing neovictorian/steampunk personal project that began as bedtime stories that I told my kids from about 2008-2013. Around 2012, the story I was telling required a mid-range support craft larger than a shuttle, so I roughed…

Brought my in-progress #blender3d project into the #unity3d gaming engine. Plenty of frustrating moments but I’m circling back to skills I’ve practiced with before. And sometimes #itjustworks! (The bot is from the Unity template.)

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