Getting a little bit better with each #blender3D scene I render.
If I don’t hang my own artwork on the walls of my #steampunk fantasy ship-of-the-line, who will? #blender3dart #blender3d #blender3dmodelling #eevee (flowers, picture frame, and upholstered texture and backdrops are all remixed)
A pie slice from the ring surrounding the ballroom, from the #steampunk bedtime stories I used to tell my now-adult children. #blender3d #eevee
My daughter was five or six when she created the character “Moonbot” for the #steampunk bedtime role-playing story that we kept going until she was 10 or 11. #blender3D
Lovely #greebles give attractive details to the the flat surfaces of this little bot (from the #steampunk bedtime stories I used to tell my kids). #Blender3D
Techno-greebles. Geometrically these are identical plain cubes, with custom shaders that simulate #steampunk details. #Blender3D
More world-building props for a fantasy #steampunk #Blender3D project.
Practice, practice, practice. Making many things in #Blender3D. Arranging them to make a texture atlas, to add more detail to the interior of a fantasy steampunk spacecraft.
If I don’t design the sign for the pub on my #steampunk space cruiser, who will? #priorities
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…
#Blender3D practice: #Steampunk control panel #trimsheet
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.
Mechanical innards for a Steampunk set piece. #Blender3D #greebles
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.
Toiletries for a steampunk villain who needs to look dapper. Straight razor and shaving brush on a chrome stand with a marble base. #Blender3D practice.
Nice lighting shows clearly that I have no idea how to do translucency. See the vertical lines in the highlighted edge just under the cabinet window? The woodgrain is going the wrong way. I know how to fix that, but still don’t know why the soap bottle and the brush bristles look like a styrofoam…
Steampunk Ex Machina
In the steampunk bedtime stories I used to tell my kids, the characters would embark on Earthbound adventures or welcome a visitor arriving via “the gondola.” Serving the same function as the transporter or shuttlecraft in Star Trek, it could conveniently break down when I needed the characters to be isolated, and it could miraculously…
Steampunk’d, Or Humbug by Design
Steampunk is one of my guilty pleasures… I think of it more of an asthetic than a literary movement, and I own neither a pair of aviator goggles nor a wind-up pocketwatch. Nevertheless, it happens that at this moment in another window I’m rendering a 3D view of an brass-and-glass spaceship ethership that features in…
