Once there were five core elements. Now...only four remain.

Gotta put my riches somewhere, I'll just stack them all up

Fiancee asked for Pinecones, so here's some exotic pinecones 🤗

We all love the beach in one way or another, but how to make the beach even better? A full esky of ice cold beverages.

I wanted to make a scifi coffee, but I got bored pretty quickly 😥

Maybe the lightsaber will come out of it's box later?

2023? Hopefully off to a better start than this

I like this one except for the ground. It's trash :(

Another 'bad' one. I like the idea which came to me while driving home in the semi-outback, but couldn't articulate it properly.

These next few are a series of renders I'm not happy with, but just want to get out and done.

Quick 1h render of some volumetrics that I turned into a lighthouse

A quick render of a dark lake that was thinking about on holidays

I saw a post somewhere with a magic book, so here's a mechanical one.

I wanted to play with the new shadow caustics but I didn't get enough time, so for now, a fancy glass will do!

Hair particles are quite frustrating to control. I don't know enough about it.

A quick animation with a couple of extra assets!

I've been playing a lot of Infraspace, and I love the Park and Stadium designs (which I've replicated myself here.

I also like the idea of a day night cycle to show off some of the assets.

A Pyrite ball in 30 minutes!

I saw the thumbnail of the linked tutorial and thought to myself 'I can do that', so I did.

Playing with geonodes from tutorial, it's a hexworld! It's far more complicated to set up than I thought. A bunch of maths and thinking, and geonodes doesn't have great debugging yet.

Quick New Years fireworks!

Space scenes are great, and I wanted to play with adaptive subdivision (it's great as always, but wow, the default 1px is slooooooooooow)

I know this looks like that tutorial, and I was inspired by it, but I just wanted to make rings

Inspired by a crate my girlfriend had while moving house. The rope and the drawn on glass were the fun parts!

Quick spinning ball thing to play with JSDisplacement again

Quick experiment with Geometry Nodes. I knew little, now I know little++.

I've been trying to improve my first person camera animations these last few renders, and I really like this one. Freespace!

Playing with the Cell Fracture Addon is good fun, but it did take quite a while for it to generate this, and much experimentation.

Nice relaxing book for my sisters birthday!

Pirate Treasure for a Reddit contest

Watching some Age of Empires videos got me thinking

That mill looks pretty nice. Many experiments here, most successful.

A much more interesting angle with some extras

I saw Pwnisher's car scene and for some reason, the moving volume got me.

A Stargate was one of the first things I wanted to make. Finally got around to it!

Quick run to test this crazy voronoi displacement I saw on Reddit

So much gloss and transparency. There's loads of work in stuff that can't even be seen (e.g. pistons on lifter thing)

More geometry nodes, with marbles!

Quick space station using the new Geometry Nodes

I like floating platforms. I also like volumetrics.

Control is a fun game. I wanted to play with the Service Weapon in Blender

Recently finished Subnautica and liked the aesthetic. Underwater bases are some James Bond villain levels of AWESOME :D

I wanted to try some procedural texture tiling. It's waaaay over my head though.

I've always liked these kinds of spooky atmospheric scenes.

Trying some glowing crystal action

Found this in the old boxes. My first foray into Blender, took months. Then about 5 hours to make it way better. Relay model isn't mine

I love Control (Remedy game), and I wanted to play with boids

Playing with water and cloth sims

I got a decent way through making this without a tutorial, so I'm pleased. The JSDisplacement greebles and AO emmision methods are really cool.

Playing Halo MCC with a friend and figured it'd be easy to do that menu scene with all the bullets ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wanted to make a shattered world for a while. I'm not happy with this, but it's a start for next time. That volume tanked the rendertime too...

The teapot was the hardest thing to mode. Feels like I did it the hardest way possible.

Proving to myself I COULD do rocks with displacements, also the rope and grass.

I got to practice some rigging, animations, and compositing :D It's from a show called Shadow Raiders. Some good sci-fi ideas in there.

Ancient areas are creepy places! I wanted to try my hand at animating. I need to do a tutorial...

Eggster!

The CG Fasttrack tutorial sword. I ended up using different assets or making some out of stubborness. The final result suffers for it, but I learned many new things.

I did another one from the other side so I could see all those cool runes :D

I almost like this one better. Still, compositing can add much more flair than I gave it credit for.

My go at an enchanting table. Not really happy with it, but sometimes you're just done, you know?

Coffee is the best thing, and sitting with one during the city buzz is very relaxing.

I was really happy with the bridge, but I realised that the DOF made it hard to see, so I did another one with less DOF :)

Finally fixed the olives. Note the differences mainly in the olives themselves, jar, and fork. I wasn't happy with the materials originally, and I want to show the difference now afterwards.

Olives are my favourite single food. Good inspiration.

This was going to be a bright grassy scene, but then I needed to hide the bad grass.

Added a true Australian treat. Lamington :)

I like floating rocks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Donut gettin spun into scene like a champ

I wanted to try making water with mist in the distance. I like it.
