Oh, and here's the time-lapse for yesterday's June Toons cartoon. Took me a second to get warmed up with this one! 😅

#drawing #cartoon #illustration #art #digitalart #procreate #ipadpro #junetoons #timelapse #mastoart #fediart

A time-lapse of a cartoon illustration being created. The illustration is of a boy riding a tricycle toward the viewer. The boy has his tongue sticking out and beads of sweat flying off, and looks like he' struggling. The hot summer sun is hanging over him in the sky, and the words "June Toons!" float in the sky above and behind him. The boy has orange-reddish skin from the sun's shade and sandy blond hair. He is wearing a green t-shirt with a gold star on it, blue shorts, and a lime-green bike helmet and shoes. The tricycle is blue with chrome accents. The words "June Toons!" are a shiny pink with a dark outline.

Having some fun with geometry Nodes this morning! #blender #blender3d #b3d #geometrynodes

A video clip of Blender where I am adjusting the settings on a custom Geometry Nodes setup and it is altering a colorful stack of cylinders in the viewport. The stack is colored from blue to gold as it ascends, and the circles taper in radius towards the top.

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.

One more Blender post for today... I threw this together (from scratch!) this afternoon, just to test how it might work.

It's a recreation of a GIF someone posted on Reddit a few days ago, and I can't wait to get it animated tomorrow! 😎

Render times (with Cycles) at 1080x1920 stand at... 42 seconds apiece, though. 😅

Almost done animating this project. Here's a quick clip of a truck picking up some raw data from a wind turbine! 😎

I'm pretty happy with how all of this is coming together, but especially happy with some of the smaller things, like how the grass turned out.

Rendered in Blender 3.6.5 with Eevee.

#blender #blender3d #b3d #render #animation #eevee #loop #perfectloop

A looping 3D animation of a truck picking up a representation of a data block from a wind turbine. The truck pulls up to the turbine, the camera zooms into a nearby screen and pad, and a glowing blue block materializes on the pad. The block then moves into the truck, and the truck drives off. Wispy lines of wind pass overhead, and the wind turbine rotates lazily.

I just hit Undo about 25 times in Blender and it didn't crash. That feels like an accomplishment.

Testing out a roof reveal!

#blender #blender3d #b3d #render #eevee #animation #loop

A short looping 3D rendered animation of a small warehouse with a forklift and some machinery inside. The roof and front-facing section of the building fades away so the viewer can glimpse inside before it re-appears once more.

Money tube 🤑

A looping 3D animation of a bunch of coins and bills zipping through a curved plastic tube.

Another render from my current project - this time, a weather monitoring station! 🌤️

#blender #blender3d #b3d #render #animation #eevee #loop #perfectloop

A 3D animation of a roadside weather station, resting in a grassy field. The view is from overhead. A radar dome, giant wind speed gauge, and directional wind vane are mounted to the ground next to a utility shed. The wind speed gauge is spinning slowly, the wind vane is wavering, and a nearby screen shows data being collected from the instruments.

Well, the finished animation is a bit too big to upload to Mastodon, but you can watch it here: https://youtube.com/watch?v=CpwvWxD6dHk

I'm probably going to troubleshoot the slow render times, tweak a few other things a bit, and re-render it though.

More contour lines! 🗺️

I did this while I was breaking apart the lines in the original material into their own segment of the shader, so I could enable/disable them however I like.

This map thing is out of control, lol. A good warmup for my next gig, though! 😅

#blender #blender3d #b3d #render #cycles #shader #procedural

A 3D render of some terrain that looks like it's made of a bumpy plastic. It has topographical lines and a grid overlay.

Animation test... pretty rough, but a good proof of concept!

#blender #blender3d #b3d #render #cycles #animation #loop #perfectloop

A looping 3D rendered animation of a slinky endlessly going down an escalator. The movement of the slinky is jerky and unfinished.

Is there any app out there that can plug into and post to multiple social media sites at once? And maybe exclude certain tags from individual sites? And maybe is free/open source? 😅
