basket ball and sugar coated candy

 


A bit more Blender; 

First image is a simple model of a basket ball, looked a little into the UV tools in Blender for this. Played a little with Light and render.

Second image is a screen dump from a tutorial on geometry nodes I worked on. A little piece of sugar coated candy. Had some funky issues when trying to duplicate and make more pieces of candy - the new objects would only return around the world center. On top of that the light and camera setup was just...annoying.I might revisit this one for a proper render later on.

Learning Blender

I am trying to learn Blender...

With more than fifteen years of experience working in Maya the first thing I had to do was simply to overcome my frustration with the program itself. And that is not easy. Simple tasks that would be seconds or a couple of clicks in Maya can turn into several minutes finding the right button or short cut, figuring out what that function is named in this application and more often than not ending up searching for the solution on google or youtube. 

But I am getting there. I can feel that the worst irritation has left and so now it is just a matter of putting in the hours, getting a workflow up and running.

Here is the result of my first little "project" - a small beginner tutorial I found on youtube ( check out 3Dgreenhorns channel )

- a small isometric low poly style rendered bedroom -

Labyrinth



   Inspired by the cover art from the White Lies album "Friends" I tried to created this isometric looking    maze. Made in Illustrator with a little touch up in Photoshop along with some color variations.
