Always fun to find an old tutorial from 5 years ago and it still works.

Blackhole for Turkey Day, please throw mashed potatoes and dark meat into the black hole.

Rippling energy ball thing. Fresnel node, I love you for letting me do silly shit with glowing edges.

Decided to spend a little time making something that didn't make me want to pull my hair out after the previous post was such a hassle.

Also it helps if I uh, you know, set Blender to use the correct render device. Oops.

Quite frustrated that my preview of this did not show a few particles escaping the outflow object (somehow)

Guess it needed more substeps. Grr.

This was still a good learning experience.

Misty vapor :)

I suppose it was inevitable I would have to tangle with smoke/fluid simulations once more. These are slow to render at 128 resolution, but the results are very pretty (once you set up the materials, scene lighting, etc...)

A little thing to post while I work on projects through December.

Winter means cold and cold means I have less urge to make art and more urge to eat soup and bundle up in bed.

Shape Keys practice and a little ghost for Halloween 👻

Bubble Bubble, Toil and Trouble...

This is me fulfilling a "I want to make that" kind of aspiration when I started with Blender earlier this year: A bubbling cauldron of some kind.

My first attempt was a polygonal horror show.

This looks way better, I think. #blender #blender3d

A fond Monday evening message while I make something to stay in practice.

Lil drone puttering by oops those are bones anyway increase acceleration, these things are expensive.

I imagine this to be some Wizards Factorio-esc production system that is going to cause some serious problems down the line.

Flaming skull thing. This started as 'I wonder how well I can make model a skull without reference images?'

At which point I used an old fire effect and meta-balls in a particle system for smoke. Pretty satisfied with the outcome.

Still making 'weird/spooky' things for the month.

Spine-spore spewer... Thing. Mostly an exercise in using the graph editor to actually make things move in a more 'organic' way.

Spooky Month means Spooky Projects.

Eyes in the dark.

#blender #blender3d

More fooling about with geomtry nodes and repeat simulations.

Oh and fussing with the camera, but I'm not happy with the angle on this.

#blender #blender3d

Making something just to make something today.

Green fire! Green fire?!

Youtube kept recommending me a tutorial for stylized fire, so I tried to get as far as I could before referring to the tutorial when I got stuck, then added my own particles and touches from there.
