Thirty years ago, I used the holidays to rewrite our in-house 3d tool from scratch, based on specs and design I worked on for a year. On January 2nd 1994, the first version was running!
I'm incredible proud, humbled and impressed of where it went. Happy 30th birthday :)

Here's an animation of a small green sport utility truck traversing the turning, ever-changing Rubik's cube street scene.

This is probably the final full animation I'm doing with this scene. I've enjoyed this series a lot!

Thanks once more to @stublag for the awesome concept drawing that kicked this thing off.

A small green utility truck drives over the surface of a Rubik's cube street scene. The cube spins to follow the truck, and segments of the cube shift ahead to make sure the truck has a road to drive on. The scene transitions from day to night and back again as the video loop plays.

Here's another animation of the Rubik's traffic cube, this time with a little more motion and a lot more action! 😄

(Hopefully you aren't sick of seeing these in your timeline!)

Created and rendered in Blender 4 with Cycles. All the materials are procedural, and I used Geometry Nodes for the grass, pine trees, and smoke ring.

Based on an illustration by @stublag

A 3D render of a Rubik's Cube where the pieces are all roads, subway, and grassy parks. Small vehicles populate some parts of the roads, and you can see the cross-section of dirt and rock on the edges of some pieces. The camera circles around the cube slowly and accelerates to show the lighter side and darker side. Various little animations happen as the animation progresses, with cars moving, lights flashing, and more. One segment of the cube rotates back and forth on its central pivot.

It finally loops!

And it's in 60fps now. 😎

A looping animation of a handful of colorful cereal dropping into a scene, and then being shuffled away by a hidden mechanism in the floor.

Finally getting back to pre-holiday work!

This is a short animation test I rendered out just to check the timing... this is probably the last thing I'll be working on with this scene, but the animation is slow going.

The final will rotate the cube as the truck traverses it. 😎

A quick animation test of a sport utility truck traversing one side of a Rubik's cube street scene. The truck drives over the edge of one side of the cube and then bounces onto the next side.

All done! Took 90 minutes to render, on the dot.

I sorta want to make a 60fps version, maybe at half speed. But that would mean 4x the frames as this one, and I'm not ready to devote 6 hours of render time to this.

Not bad for a half-day's work! 😎

A 3D animation of a curving hallway that undulates back and forth as the view pushes through it. On the right, the hallway is lined with a series of windows and paintings, and on the left, a door to another hallway and a small table with a lamp and books on top. The hallway is adorned with a lot of wood paneling and wallpaper, and a colorful rug extends into its infinite, hazy depths.

Blender servers are still under heavy DDoS attack.

We are trying to get the websites back online as soon as possible. In the meantime, a light version of blender org will be available soon.

Blu Tack Beetles retrieve the bits you 'lose' and return them to the Blu Tack factory, where they squish them all together, roll them out flat, and sell them back to you cos you 'ran out'.

Then they laugh their capitalist little wing cases off at you.

*It's said that if you were to accidentally stand on one, your posters would forever fall off the wall.

Looping animation showing two small mechanical dung beetles. One opens its wing case to reveal drone-like rotor blades and flies off. The other rolls a ball of Blu Tack across the screen.

People familiar with Flatpak and Blender... want to help Blender on board with Flatpak, officially upstream?

There's an open issue with initial tasks to be completed: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/102949

They could use some help around packaging and permissions. :)

A bit of a different project from me: abandoned train tracks.

The tracks are created with a simple geometry nodes setup, and the botaniq asset pack was a live saver for the plants in this one. The log is from Polyhaven. Maybe I'll play around with nature scenes more often from now on.

A close up shot of one of the rotten tree logs with shallow depth of field. The train tracks can be seen glowing in the sun in the background.
A close to the ground shot centered on one of the rails, focusing on a single red butterfly that sits on the rail.

I went ahead and animated this thing!

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!

A 3D render of a Piranha Plant idly resting in a clay pot. The plant has a large, red spotted, bulbous head with a gaping mouth, teeth, and a long pink tongue. Its mouth has strands of sticky spit bridging the top and bottom, and the tongue dribbles spit as it sits there. The clay pot is dirty and broken, and there are small mounds of soil on the floor nearby.
