My Blender Blog is the side affect of exploration and discovery.
My Journey
My path down the rabbit hole I call Blender. I am trapped forever.
LEGO
In my free time. I build with LEGO. Then destroy it with Blender.
CGBoost
Continued Blender Eduation

Finished the first Basic Bot tutorial. I’ve picked up some good practices and learned a few more tricks. Discovered some new tools and am eager to move on to the next lesson.

I finally bit the bullet and signed up for a paid course from CGBoost called Robotic Planet World. I’ve already built the first robot twice – once following and once flying solo. I’m trying to engrave these lessons into my gray matter before I animate these tin cans into life. Who knows, maybe I’ll create the next Wall-E… or at least a passable R2-D2 knockoff.
If you knew me, you’d know I’m as cheap as a dollar store umbrella. So why shell out hard-earned cash for something when YouTube’s ocean of free content is just a click away? You get what you pay for. Only a third of the way through and I feel like I’ve already gotten my moneys worth. I’ve learned things that I had never seen demonstrated in the hundreds of hours of Blender Youtube vidoes I’ve seen. More to com

Finsihed my take on the Fish Bot. Part 2 of the course. I followed it enough times until I felt comfortable doing it without the tutorial. That’s when having a paid course comes in handy. It was very easy to find the chapter of the course I needed to review agian, and again. I highly recommend this course.

Blender Rigid Body Mousetrap
Almost a pure Blender physics rigid body simulation. Just need 3 keyframes to pull it off.
AI Graphics
It is beyond scary how good AI is at generating art. I was amazed the first time I tried it. Though the results back then are not as good as they are now but I was completely amazed at how well it could create art with right prompt.
