I'm having scads of fun designing #steampunk control panels. #blender3d #blender3dart #design #aesthetics #relaxing #mindfulness
A #neovictorian master status display board for a #steampunk #blender3d project. Inspired by the tear-away calendar featured in the movie #1776. #blender3dart #aesthetics #design
A pleasant Independence Day photo shoot with the daughter.
The annual patriotic showing of #1776 has begun.
The YouTube "Blender3D to Unity UMA" tutorials blow through all the steps in a half hour or so. It's taking me a bit longer to tweak "Captain Gearheart," the character I usually role-played in the #steampunk bedtime stories I used to tell my kids. #blender3d #blender3dart
It's probably safe to throw these out.
Added a splash of color to this section of a #neovictorian #steampunk control panel (for my personal #blender3d art project). #design #aesthetics #blender3dart
Paradise (#StarTrek #DS9 Rewatch, Season 2, Episode 15) Anti-technology colony welcomes Sisko and O’Brien a bit too enthusiastically
Rewatching ST:DS9 In a runabout on a survey of star systems near the wormhole, Sisko asks O’Brien to take Jake on as an apprentice. They find a planet giving off low-level plot contrivance particles. When they beam down, none of their technology works. They also find a thriving agrarian human colony, built around the empty…

On my fantasy #steampunk capital ship, every uniform is a full dress uniform. #blender3d #blender3dart #waistcoat #tailcoat #cravat #spats
Another delightful section of #neovictorian #steampunk control panel, intended for background eye candy in a #steampunk personal project. #blender3d #blender3dart #design #aesthetics
One of many steampunk control panels I’ve designed for pleasure.
Whispers (#StarTrek #DS9 Rewatch, Season 2, Episode 14) O’Brien Must Suffer: shunned and on the run
Rewatching ST:DS9 In a runabout, O’Brien sets a course for the Parada system, starts a personal log carefully designed to tease the viewer, and flashes back to when it all started — the morning after he returned from a mission to Parada. He wakes to find Keiko is up very early, and Molly won’t kiss…
Another section of a #neovictorian control panel for a #steampunk #blender3d project. I have enough buttons and switches, so I’m shifting towards more display boards. #eyecandy #aesthetics #design #blender3dart
Armageddon Game (#StarTrek #DS9 Rewatch, Season 2, Episode 13) Bashir and O’Brien become targets after helping warring factions eliminate their bioweapons
Rewatching ST:DS9 In a lab on an alien cruiser, Bashir technobabbles a container of orange goop, turning it green, which we are made to understand is good. The T’Lani and Kellerun races have recently made peace after warring for centuries, and the script required them to reach out to the Federation for help destroying their…
I had some unexpected downtime today, so I filled out another span of my #blender3d #steampunk control panel. #design #aesthetics #blender3dart
Many things in the world are awful right now but my latest section of a #neovictorian themed #steampunk control panel is a thing of beauty. #blender3d #blender3dart #design #aesthetics
I did not know how much I would appreciate this detailed exploration of Star Trek: TOS prop computers.
I’m amazed at the level of detail that went into analyzing the prop computers created over 50 years ago for the original Star Trek. Not only has this website collected screen shots of the various props, but some include diagrams indicating which practical buttons on the props activated which lights. (The same website has sections…
