Daily Blender 05
“Guardian.” I’m admittedly not very good at sculpting yet. But hopefully over the course of the month I’ll get better.
Daily Blender 04
A sphere on a plane, with an environment map for lighting (using a photo I took a few years ago). On the plane, I’m using some distorted noise to mix together two glossy materials (one rougher and darker than the other).
I’m realizing I really, really like environment lighting. So, uh, there’ll probably be a lot more of that.
Daily Blender 03
The tube-ish things are a torus knot with a displace modifier, and I made the background leaves using the Sapling addon. The ground is just a fractally subdivided plane with a subsurf modifier.
This one is a bit more heavily postprocessed than my first two, mostly because I wasn’t happy at all with the initial render. Lots of Photoshop texturing.
Daily Blender 02
I wrote a Python script to generate the spheres (random sizes, random locations). The main sphere material is a subsurface scattering node mixed with a white diffuse material with Fresnel as the factor, so the white shows at the edges of the spheres. I also did some postprocessing (color correction, slight texturing) in Photoshop.
Daily Blender 01
Inspired by Zuggamasta’s 365 day project, I’m going to be making a new Blender render each day in June (excepting Sundays). Each render will be 800x800, and many of them will be somewhat on the pathetic side. But it’ll be a good challenge for me.
Day 1:
