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
The Enduring Allure of Choose Your Own Adventure Books
I didn’t realize how involved the children of divorced dads Packard and Montgomery were in the creation of the “Choose Your Own Adventure” gamebooks.

I just looked up the context for the bald guy dropping the chili.

On a busy day when I spent 7.5 hours on a film set and 3.5 hours driving my car, I managed to eat dinner with 2 of the 3 other members of my household, walk a mile, chat with my sister on the phone, and churn out another delightful #blender3d #cgi #steampunk control panel. #design…
Just a handful more of these elegant #steampunk control panels and I can move on to the next step in my summer #blender3d project. #aesthetics #design #blender3dart
