In this Blender 3d test I created a model of a flower, added some lighting effects and placed a force field above it to simulate a slight wind. Then I did a slow zoom and a fly around with the camera. It worked pretty well. I had the flower set up to look like glass […]

Our baby boy turned 1 year old on Feb 11th. Here is an image of him at his party. How sweet is he?

The first in a series of test renders to show my model of the new LaCie d2 drive design.

Here are a couple more test animations. I bit the bullet and got an account at respower.com so I can now do larger renders without all the waiting.

I have been messing around with lighting, animation, soft bodies, and fluid in Blender for a couple weeks. Now I have decided to build my first original model (beyond the obstacle I built for earlier tests.) I modeled a “Stupa”  or in Tibet they call the “Chortens” and did a fly by.
