Finally had some time to work on lighting the torpedo room set for the animation. #blender3d #startrek #scifi #3dmodeling #environmentdesign #animation #setdesign

Making a lot of progress on the torpedo bay set. Really coming together! #startrek #3dmodeling #blender3d #scifi #spaceship #interior #hardsurfacemodel

Been building a torpedo bay the last few nights for an animation I'm working on. Still early in process, but coming along. #startrek #3dmodeling #blender3d #scifi #spaceship #interior #hardsurfacemodel

"Red Fox, this is Red Fox. Unknown aircraft sighted, 75 miles west by southwest from homeplate, altitude 20,000ft. Uh...guys, you're not going to believe the size of this thing...." #blender #3dmodeling #vfx #startrek #scifi #aftereffects

An update to this Star Trek shot! Lots of minor improvements, better post and lighting. :) Also a Fold7 slomo version for funsies.

How I spent my Sunday. Adm. Thrawn modeled using HumanGenerator in Blender 4.5 Rendered in Cycles Post-process in After Effects with Red Giant Suite. #blender3d #starwars #admiralthrawn #3dmodeling #scifi #character

Well, it's taken a little over a week of grinding away at this shot, but I finally got it done! Modeled and Rendered in Blender by me Composited in After Effects with Red Giant Suite Edited in Premier. #blender3d #startrek #scifi #3dmodeling #animation #spaceship #vfx #scifi

Saw a really interesting talk with Christopher Nolan and Denis Villeneuve talking about filming in full 1.43:1 IMAX, so I set up a camera to do this render. USS Jacoby & Drydock by me Modeled and rendered in Blender Composit in Adobe After Effects #blender3d #startrek #spaceship #3dmodeling #scifi

Using AI for concept art is like: “I want to come up with something no-one has ever seen before, so I’m going to use this machine that can only regurgitate existing stuff after blending it into a lumpy paste.”

Very serious work going on over here. Modeled in Blender Post-process in Photoshop #blender3d #3dmodeling #startrek #kidart

Started this shot about a month ago, inspired by a shot from SNW. But my computer was in the shop for a bit, and I finally got a chance to finish this up. Enterprise model by me. Modeled and rendered in Blender 5.0 Compositing and post in After Effects #3dmodeling #blender #startrek #scifi

Been working on this the last few nights. Its coming along, but still needs some work. Gibson L-5 archtop Modeled in Blender Rendered in Cycles Color correction in Photoshop #blender #3dmodeling #guitar #jazzguitar #archtop

Wanted to try something new in Blender (read: not sci-fi), so i built a model of a Charlie Christian guitar pickup. Modeled in Blender, rendered in Cycles Post-processing in Photoshop #blender3d #guitar #pickup #jazzguitar #3dmodel

Back to experimenting with comic art. Drawn and colored in Photoshop. #starwars #hansolo #comicart #photoshop

Wanted to take a swing at doing some original work. Exploring an idea that combines Art Deco industrial design with some sort of sail-like elements. We'll see if it leads anywhere... Modeled in Blender 4.3 CC'd in Photoshop #blender #scifi #3dmodeling #spaceship

After a crap ton of work the past week, I finally got a shot put together that I feel like successfully mimics the 80's ILM optical compositing process. USS Jacoby by me Spacedock by @misterwilde.bsky.social Rendered in Blender 4.3 Composited and CC'd in After Effects with Red Giant Magic Bullet

Tiny little #StarWars #fanart #3d #animation #Blender3D test to try out a new explosion I made in Embergen. All the models in this scene made by me as well.

I've taken a deep dive down the rabbit hole of "how to fake optical compositing in After Effects". These are some of the results. USS Jacoby model by me Spacedock by @misterwilde.bsky.social youtu.be/o_ZY0vYuDEw More shots to follow? Maybe? #blender3d #startrek #scifi #scifiart #vfx

Some final renders of my TOS Enterprise model. Modeled in Blender 4.3 Renderd in Cycles with LensSim Color correction in Photoshop #blender3d #3dmodeling #startrek #scifi #scifiart

"Wolf pack!" Enterprise by me, Klingon D7 model by Robert Rose. Modeled in Blender 4.3 with Lens Sim Rendered in Cycles Compositing in After Effects #blender3d #3dmodeling #startrek #scifi #scifiart

Another test render to see how the Enterprise does in different lighting setups. Blender 4.3 with Lens Sim Cycles render Photoshop for color correction #startrek #blender3d #3dmodeling #scifi #blenderrender

Test animation to see how the new model holds up. Looks just like the show! #startrek #blender3d #3dmodeling #scifi

Starting a new project: a 1:1 scale of the 11ft studio model of the Enterprise from TOS. This is using Alan Sinclair's blueprints, which are widely considered to be the most accurate out there. An exercise in "sticking to the brief". Wish me luck! #blender3d #startrek #3dmodeling #scifi

The high pitched whizzing sound you're hearing is Gene Roddenberry spinning in his grave. #section31

Cinematic Lighting Study: Inspried by Gordon Willis' work on "The Godfather II". #blender3d #blender #3dmodeling #movie

Quick test with a chunk of my Y-wing model that I will return to next year- I made a demo Substance Painter smart material to mimic the kind of paint details ILM did on their Y-wings. Everything but the yellow paint mask is procedurally placed, so you can randomize the seeds to generate variations!
