Onto Blender

Futuristic City made with Blender

Here is my first city modeled and ray traced in Blender.

My painting has been suffering lately as I find myself working more and more with 3-d graphics. I’ve always preferred the finished canvas but there is something to be said for letting a ray tracer figure out how the optics of the glass and water should shine. & sitting back and watching it happen or going to sleep and waking to find the final picture rendered. There is a real feeling of satisfaction knowing that your computer is doing something productive while not supervised. “Here computer, work on these renders and I’m going to need those torrents downloaded by morning too.” No thanks.

So my new love is Blender. I had the best time with Sketchup, and she will still be there when I need her but in my look to expand the functionality I came across Blender and it’s great. A free, open source 3d modeling program with ray tracing, animation and a physics engine.  I’ll try to post some splashes I’ve been animating.

Some more Blender

Slowly getting more proficient at this great free program: Blender.  This is a moldy coffee cup. I tried to make the image a bit grainy to look like a quickly snapped photograph.

Moldy coffee cup.. Inspired by my super duper tidy workspace .

More Sketchup fun.

Industrial/futuristic city style.

The city that killed Kerkythea and SUPodium. Blame my processors?

Started a sketchup city. Using hand drawn lines for the textures. Cross hatching and such. Not quite done but I have added to it a bit.

Slowly coming along.

New Project

Posted February 27th, 2010 by chris

I’m still not saying anything about this top-secret project.  Modeling some land getting ready for (virtual) development.   from a contour plan and some google earth for reference photos.

All the modeling has been done in Sketchup with the help of google earth a contour map and rendered with suPodium.
