Finis' Experiments and Scribbles

Plants of Delta Na’an

The colonists of Delta Na’an find inspiration in the striking forms of its flora.

The plants are generated with an ancient program called Plant Studio. Its breeder feature can produce wild looking plants. A studio HDRI is the only lighting. Simple cylinders, toruses, and a plane modeled in Blender 3.51. Cycles render.

i like the right one, that looks organic.

This is an entry in the BlenderArtists.Org challenge "not of this world". Non-competing since not much Blender was used.

I drew this object in the 80’s. I think I saw it in a dream. In 2016 I modeled it in Hexagon. I only found a .obj file for it now.

I imported the .obj into Blender 3.51, separated the blocks into individual objects, and applied materials.

Rendered with cycles, 2002 samples, composited with a mist pass.

The glasses may have bars over the head in one reference photo. I found few photos or video clips showing the glasses.

Ivan: Did you hear about Prigozhin?
Igor: No. What happened?
Ivan: His airplane fell out of a window.

[bitkar]

lol, that is spot on :D

I think window went thru Prigozin. Rare occurance.

Spartans, uh I mean Texans, are confident. A secret is that we are intimidated by the big mustaches and deep voices of Montana men. And the same about their women.

[bitkar]

well, women with mustaches and deep voices are becoming common in western civilzation...

Columbus Day Fly In started slow then several para-gliders arrived Saturday and Sunday and it became an event. Big trucks, big rocks, broken drive shaft, Mexicans, side-by-side atv's, launches, flights. Much good video and photos. No hang gliders. Pilots said people are switching to PG's.

Wish they brought real trucks.

A sign says, "For sale. Large boxes of nothing. One cent."
Regular guy thinks, "Can't fool me. I'm not paying something for nothing."
Ferengi thinks, "Large boxes for a penny? I'll make a fortune!"

Rigged and animated Cat by JonasDichelle CC BY 3.0 https://www.blendswap.com/blend/18519
I found the cat’s rig difficult to use and could not turn his head as I wanted. With enough time I might have rigged him with Auto Rig Pro.
This tutorial is good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xm2ng33Io6I

Wall factory doesn’t put mortar in the joints so you can see through there or see light sometimes.

The textures for the walls and ground are from https://www.textures.com
