Baseball Composite

Took some baseball pictures of my local high school team. They used 3 different pitchers while I was there so I decide to the show the pitcher’s motions using all 3 pitchers.

Potion Bottles

Went back to blender this week and modeled a couple of potion bottles. They turned out okay. Not sure about the topology on the square bottle around the top

A vector flower

I had a very crazy week this week so I am a little late with this one. The flower was created in illustrator using a gradient mesh. It was composited in Photoshop with a a couple of textures.

Not my best work but I wanted to keep my weekly challenge going. Will shoot for something a little better next week

Treasure Chest

Here is a treasure chest that I modeled in Blender. I may try to sculpt in some details and then texture it in Substance Painter

Followed a Substance Painter Tutorial

This week, I decided to try something that I have not used in several years – Substance Painter. I followed along with a tutorial and used to Substance Painter to texture a lantern model. Then I rendered it in the built-in Iray renderer

Sphere Sculpt – Blender 2.8

I open up blender and just added a sphere and started sculpting. Spent a couple of hours in all. After I finished, I thought my sculpt looked similar to the Indian Logo of some team – At least in the nose. Just let my sculpting flow and created the vampire head.

A little Photoshop Fun

I took the following picture on a recent outing with my family to Tejas Mission State Park in east Texas. Tried to make a mysterious pool with multiple copies and a few manipulations

Then I added the Edgar Allen Poe Quote
