Robots on hold for now while I work on the larger scene a bit. Here is a sneak peek 👀

Creating some basic trim sheets for brickwork patterns! #blender

Robot time again. #blender

made quake style liquid displacement in blender shader nodes! it's a very simple motion, but with the right texture looks surprisingly good #blender #blender3d #b3d

The Luminor camera is complete! My take on the course of the same name by CGC. Made entirely in #blender #3d #3dart #art #digitalart #3drender

Detailing the knobs.

Just some materials progress on the camera. #blender

Modelling complete. Now time for materials and texturing.

Camera progress!

All is well in #blender. Nothing to see here.

Embrace the .blend. Become one with the .blend.

Going through the new Luminor course from CGC. I've made a 3D camera model before but I was quite inexperienced at the time. #blender #blender3d #3dart

Added a few more layers to my paint materials and spent some time having fun with some stencils! I think its starting to come together 🤞 #gamedev #GameArt

For visual arts: Lighting and shadows make or break the scene. Your art can be surprisingly simplistic as long as you have a good understanding of light and shadow and how it creates visual interest/detail. Look at the world as light/shadow and not physical complexity.

Workbench view of the Robo Mantis #blender #blender3d

Robo Mantis is complete! I really enjoyed making the robotic insects in CGC's Bug Bots course and decided to make my one entirely on my own using the methods they teach. Not much space in a mantis, but I made do. Created in #Blender and #AffinityPhoto. #3d #3dart #3dmodeling #3dartwork #blender3d

Mantis is nearly done. Should be up tonight or tomorrow morning!

Mantis progress! #blender #insect

Trying to do some Blender-ing and getting side eye for not giving her enough attention 🙄

Assembling random bits for the upcoming Robo Mantis project. #blender

Thinking of doing another robo bug as a next Blender project. Mantis maybe?

Blender automatically saves backup files! They are those ".blend1" files you see next to the files your working file. They're no different from regular files, Blender will happily open them if you want to! You can get Blender to save more than just 1 at "Preferences > Save & Load > Save Versions"

Tiny bear on the lawn.

Workbench view for The Shard. #blender #blender3d #3dart #art

The Shard is finally complete! View the full size image and additional renders and progress shots on my site here: quinnvb.com/projects/a0w... #blender #blender3d #3dart #art #3dmodeling #fantasyart

Finishing up the final test renders for The Shard and then I'll be on to post processing. Finally on the last stretch after multiple delays.

My work in Blender 3D! Flying kitchen ship from the movie "The Fifth Element"! #jinxlart #b3d #blender3D #3DCG #3Dart #3Dartist #fifthelement #thefifthelement

Blender, please.

Beginning to put the assets into the scene and creating the composition I want. #Blender #blender3d #3dart

Some progress on creating some dunes in #Gaea for the upcoming scene.

Whenever I try to explain that blender isn’t scary

It’s a harey situation

Heading back home today and then I'll resume work on 3D projects!

Anime style in blender 3d #blender #b3d

Moo.

Going to visit family for the holidays so no #blender updates for a while. Here is an ancient render I made back in 2022, I believe. It turned out quite well considering how bad the topology was, but I didn't know better back then. #3d #3dart #blender3d #art

Oh wow. That's an incredible level of detail.

Bedroll asset I created. Had to fight with Substance Painter to stop messing with my normals, but got there in the end. Made in #blender #blender3d #3d #art

Tools? Tools! #blender #3d

Extremely useful tip.

Did a few tweaks!

Texturing progress on a workbench with a chunk of the Shard on it. Once the textures are done, I'll make some handtools to go on the bench. #blender #blender3d

How about a crusty old bucket? Made in #blender and #substancepainter #3d #3dartwork #blender3d

Texturing progress in a shovel I modelled the Shard scene. Shovel blades are deceptively complex shapes and took a bit longer to figure out than I would've assumed. Made in #blender #3d #art #substancepainter

Love the little curious paw baps

Some more Shard pieces for the upcoming #blender project.

Space laser!! #blender #blender3d #b3d #sciencefiction #scifi

Can never have enough crate assets, right? #blender3d

Wrapping up texturing on the cart! I have to make a few more assets including some more rocks, and then I can get working on the terrain eventually.
