Animation is not something I've ever formally trained in, but I enjoy doing it. I just tend to get really caught up in the details of the curves, making sure everything looks just right. 😅
Created across many versions of Blender, but touched up and rendered in Blender 4.0, with Cycles. AgX is pretty nice!
So y’all remember #Swarm app (spin off from #FourSquare)? When you check in and earn #coins, it animates them falling/flying/splashing around the screen.
The number of coins in the #animation correlates to the number earned for that checkin.
Usually a checkin gets just a few coins. Sometimes bonuses will net 100+.
I had two checkins today with insane bonuses resulting in 600+ coins each. The app choked horribly trying to #render the animation!!
Espaços imaginários. De vez em quando criamos projetos fictícios para exercitar nossa criatividade e explorar possibilidades da arquitetura, através de materialidades, formas, cores, luz e sombra.
I finished this render redo just in time for #inktober. 😅
Here's the 2023 version of Surfbot - a redo of one of my first renders in Blender.
I recreated all the textures, most of them being procedural with a handful of painted elements, cleaned up the model (and rigged it!), and did a lot of work on the other scene elements. I've learned a lot in the last 10 years!
Swapped the label to another childhood classic. METROID - The benefit of all the manual labor for the UV's etc, are going to all pay off with easy game label swapping for the looping animation. 😀
Another old scene made in Blender which was inspired by The Last of Us - I wanted to create a run down human space being reclaimed by nature. Hope you like it!
Since people seemed to like the tamagotchi holder I made, I thought I’d showcase a render I made for it! Using blender I was able to recreate the 3D printing lines and filament color.
Been getting several DMs about the #GenerativeArt banner image in my profile. It's an old render (from 2010) of a recursive #Voronoi projected into a #Quadtree. This video shows the interplay of 2 conceptual hierarchies:
Verlet particles with attractive/repulsive force fields are spawned in a squared 2d space and negotiate their positions over time. These positions are also used as sites for creating a dynamic Voronoi diagram to define cell structures around each particle. Each resulting Voronoi region can then become the physical (and constantly changing) bounds for the next level of recursion, spawning more particles to subdivide it into smaller regions. Each cell at each level is using its own Voronoi instance with sub-regions clipped to their respective parent region. The process becomes more and more local... The setup in the video has a maximum tree depth of 3.
A quadtree is used to visualize the hierarchy of cells from phase 1 and its depth structure represented as extruded 3D model (in isometric perspective). For this video the quadtree has a depth of 10 levels with the maximum level of recursion tracing/coinciding with the Voronoi cell edges. The elevation of cell walls depends on the depth of the cell in the original tree, with the cells at deepest level resulting in the tallest structures. Furthermore, the elevation is modulated by the distance of each point to the nearest vertex of its parent cell polygon/region...
@nclslbrn You're absolutely right: cell division was an obvious influence, though the whole thing was actually one of the concepts I worked on for an architecture course website (UCL Bartlett) to dynamically visualize their site/content structure/hierarchy and it would have changed with every new piece of content added... Here're some more variations of that theme...
(Ps. No worries about "intrusion" or "perversion" — this project was from 2010 and we all see something different in these kinds of works... all good!)
Decreased the atmosphere amount and didn't include atmosphere volumetric shadows.
The #spaceship metallic reflections show well with these settings. #Avoyd#Voxel#Render
