Was playing around with #virus strucures in #blender #b3d and #MolecularNodes ... this one turned out to look like a dying star 😅💥
not really scientifically accurate, but this was rather for fun at the moment and to try out a few things for future projects 😇

One of the last projects I was working on at UniGraz. A story that required patience & some obstacles to overcome. Perseverance paid off in the end 💪

Great idea with this starter pack! Definitely needed! 👏

Just made my bluesky initiation with a protein butterfly made in blender 🦋

Hi Bluesky 👋

I thought, I'd say hello with a protein butterfly 🦋 (pdb 6of3)
I'm a scientist, graphic designer, blender enthusiast, science communicator, media relations specialist ... a bit of everything. Looking forward to the journey here! 🎶 "blue skies, smiling at me, nothing but blue skies ..."
