This is a couple of hours into the process of a low-poly character.

A new pokemon, maybe?

Here's the same little bug as before, but with a texture mapped to his legs and tail. And some dramatic lighting.

KITTENS!

A new species!



It's the adorably dangerous Fuzzy Scorpion! It hangs out near catmint plants, hoping to crawl on to a friendly hand. Just how dangerous it might be is unknown, but one can expect that it harbors very sinister thoughts.

Weekend Work

I tried modeling an ear! I got a start from a tutorial, but then I branched out and did a lot on my own. I tried to model it after my own ear, but the picture sort of lacked the depth.








It was difficult but also pretty fun!

Here is another render of the ear, with a basic color added and a little tiny tweak to the shape of the mesh:

Fisrt Day Back

It's the first day back with blender! Here is my image for the day, where we were just exploring the interface and basic modeling techniques. I started with a cylinder, and used subsurfacing and extrusions to make the water bottle shape. The texture of the bottle was made using a voronoi texture over a slightly mirrored and fresneled light blue surface. The cap of the bottle uses a very slight voronoi, no fresnel transparency, and a black surface.



I feel like I should have picked a more difficult object, but my little duck store water bottle was the closest object to me at the time and I just wanted to get going. Here's the blender view:



And now one more, extreme close-up view!
