iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Friend of mine was a Furry and did a webcomic back IN THE BEFORE TIMES of the late 90s early 00s. I even did some fan art because that's what friends do. Hadn't really picked up a pencil to draw since then. I was too busy teaching myself 3D art, I guess.

Introduce yourself with four spaceships: Here's a render of my SNW-styled versions of the U.S.S. Enterprise, Reliant, Miranda, and Farragut starships.

Here's a render of my SNW-styled versions of the U.S.S. Enterprise, Reliant, Miranda, and Farragut starships. The four ships are aligned in an arrowhead formation, with the Enterprise in the center, Farragut in the lead, with Miranda and Reliant taking up the rear flanks.

Artists! Post your sketch vs final! ✨ I'll go one further an post a middle render!

A detailed model of the U.S.S. Enterprise from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds in Blender 3D. The initial shapes had been adjusted and further manipulated, with the surface details of the model realized fully into a near-completed model.

I'd unwrapped the texture space and applied a detailed surface paint. The render is presented with the starship model mounted on a brass pole with a textured paper background to resemble a photo of a practical model in a film studio.

Can someone tell me why there are razors with lavender scented handles? Like, who's smelling their razors in the shower?

Finished setting up the new grape arbors. After the first section was done, I figured out a method that was far easier than what the 4-panel instruction page showed. This is one of the two. Now I need to figure out how to get the vines on to the new structure.

Stewart became my favorite Lantern when I first saw him in the Justice League Cartoon. Waited years for a show or movie to feature him since then. I'd later learn he lead the blaxploitation comics revolution that featured heroes like Blade, Luke Cage, and Storm in 1971.

Going through some of my old art. Back around 2000 or so, I tried to build Wing Zero and Epyon in TrueSpace. The models and images were created in trueSpace 2.5. The computer itself was an IBM Aptiva with a 166 mhz processor, 36MB RAM, and an ATI 3D Rage graphics card.

A collage of 3D renders originally created more than 26 years ago. The first image is Epyon Gundam flying through space with a red and blue nebula behind it. The second is a 3/4 view of Wing Zero standing against a black background. The third image is Epyon standing behind Zero in its fighter configuration. The third, center image is Wing Zero positioned between Earth and a colony. The final image shows Epyon and Zero about to face off while a massive battle happens in the distant background.

I have at least 10 lbs of green seedless grapes, and there's still more on the vine. On top of that, there's still the red grapes that haven't finished ripening yet.

I've finished my version of the Kokiri sword! Is it accurate to the game model we've seen from Nintendo? Not quite! But that's okay! I've learned a few new things. For instance, this is the first time I used the sculpt tool in Blender. You can see the WIP images in the quoted thread below.

This is where I left off before going to bed at 10:30 this morning.

A view port render of my Kokiri sword work in progress. I've refined the wood texture on the hilt and created the leather wrapped handle. For the moment, I have a basic procedural texture for the leather. My hope is I'll be able to better replicate the worn leather look of the game model.

Start with a cube. Draw out the basic shape. Add Subdivision modifier. I don't need to emboss the design onto the sword itself. In 3D, it can be a separate object! Otherwise, I could change the model and use the sculpting tools and shape it like clay. Yeah, I think this'll work...

The shape of the blade is basically done. Is it a perfect match? Not at all! But I'm happy with it since it's my model rather than a direct copy. It still has that roughhewn look that I'm after. Now for the blade details...
