Mixing and matching lots of techniques for this shot! Huge thanks to @nathan.h.taylor for setting up a bunch of photoscanned vignettes with me :D. I love being able to build a set knowing that we’ll be able to copy-and-paste the assets (or rotate/flip/scale) once we’ve digitized them; it’s a weird way to work. Also in that, while the whole set is digital, we still made a bunch of it practically?? Also thanks to @takacollective for letting us incorporate some of your amazing props into the world! . #vfx #filmmaking #cyberpunk #digitalart #blender #cg #b3d #scifi

Creating custom buildings in Blender! A bit more versatile than the previous technique. I have a full length version up on my YouTube if this is too quick. . #vfx #filmmaking #tutorial #b3d #blender #blender3d #lazy #cg #modeling #digitalart
Making cities in Blender! Lazy tutorials for lazy people. Music, of course, by @wilbert.roget There’s a full length version up on my YouTube if you want it. . #b3d #blender #tutorial #lazy #digitalart #cyberpunk #cg #vfx #city #dystopian
@kaitlinbones got some new succulents yesterday- I got to scan ’em! About 70 pictures each. I used RealityCapture for these, but Meshroom and DisplayLand are both really useful for photogrammetry, too (and free!). Thanks to @makeronthemove for the sticker designs 😀 . . #b3d #cyberpunk #digitalart #vendingmachine #blender3d #cg #vfx

Hey everyone, the new @blender.official 2.83 is out! I had the opportunity to make the splash screen, which is a little surreal. Go snag it when you get the chance; the devs have done an amazing job. Thanks to @kaitlinbones @makeronthemove and Charlie The Dog for being such patient photoscan models. The backpack on the foreground guy was meticulously handcrafted by @mattacost for @prospectthefilm . Stay safe out there!! #b3d #blender3d #digitalart #photogrammetry #cyberpunk #scifi #tugboat #art
Fishing is a sport of patience. Dang man, when photoscanning works, it’s so useful. Thanks @makeronthemove For letting me doll you up in cybergear yesterday! . . #vfx #cg #b3d #cyberpunk #fishing #worldbuilding #filmmaking #mouthspa #digitalart
Ride the OX! Just more spending too much time on stuff that’ll only be visible for a few seconds; I’m fine with that, though. #cg #vfx #blender3d #b3d #boat #digitalart
So I’ve wanted to have this fake sport, ‘The Hyperbowl’, playing on background TVs in scenes. People ride around on jet engines and try to shoot each other in a combination of like football and Nascar. @the.jabberwock came over today with a full body @hellorokoko mocap suit and we were able to put this shot together in a couple hours. CRAZYBEANS exciting technology. I still have to figure out how to work with it better, but the possibilities of combining this with photoscans and stuff are absolutely blowing my mind right now. #vfx #filmmaking #scifi #b3d #cg #digitalart #sparts #mocap #blender3d #rokoko
Boats in the woods!! Had a photogrammetry adventure in the backyard 😀 Never really had to do a lot of digital nature, because I’d just go film in the Real Stuff, but sometimes it’s still useful to be able to mix-and-match . #cg #b3d #blender3d #photogrammetry #digitalart
Here’s a test render for a chase sequence in Ed Sheerans new “South of the Border” music video, directed by the always amazing @jkoephoto . I’ve been working on it for the past month- You should go check it out! It’s got all the classic spy-movie action 😀 Car-Rig Pro by 3DVision was a huge help for animating the car physics- that stuff can be intense to get right by hand.

Had a few of those days where everything just kept breaking and feeling weird- maybe it was the air pressure?? But I was able to finish this environment! Always fun to invent a bunch of strip mall businesses 😀 Now I just have to figure out how to get the sink to stop leaking. . . #vfx #cg #b3d #blender3d #neverstopexploring #digitalart #cyberpunk
A few shots and breakdowns for the work I got to do on the “South of the Border” music video (song by Ed Sheeran (ft. Camila Cabello and Cardi B)). Go watch the final video on YouTube if you haven’t already! It’s full of super fun maximum spy action. Directed by @jkoephoto and produced by @honnabk, edited by David Franklin and Andrew Rutherford, with always fantastic camerawork by @mazagranphoto and @bu66a #musicvideo #vfx #filmmaking
Whew! More personal work. Blender with a little paintover. #b3d #digitalart #cg #scifi #vfx #environment
Come get your TacoBurgers! 90%off! We gotta get rid of all these TacoBurgers! Immediately! A variation on a shot from a soon to be released project (the original takes place at night). A hefty food truck! Maximum heft! . . #foodtruck #b3d #blender3d #vfx #digitalart #cyberpunk #art #cg
Playing with personal stuff 🙂 Oh I also have a fantastic power pole asset from my friend @chromfell in the back there! #b3d #vfx #cg #blender3d #neon
And a night version, cause I’m kicking myself because I think I actually like it more! . . #b3d #foodtruck #cg #vfx #digitalart #art #blender3d #tacoburgers
Some environment work for an upcoming project! It’s maybe not the fastest way to make a movie, but i think it’s super cool environment replacement stuff like this is possible in a garage. Now we just need AI to make green screens obsolete. Any day now. . . #vfx #filmmaking #b3d #blender3d #vfx #cg #digitalart #cyberpunk #scifi
Hey be sure to get Tinkman’s famous jalapeno poppers. Random digital environment for a random scene- we’ll see if it all comes together! . . #b3d #filmmaking #cg #digitalart #blender3d
This is all just random content for background monitors in a scene, but it’s been a lot of fun, so I think I’m going to try to finish it up into a full little thing. Because apparently adding little complicated sequences for no reason is a skill I’ve been honing over many years. #filmmaking #vfx #cg #mech #rokoko #b3d
Wow! Can’t believe we got Lil’ Ringo to starr in our film. His schedule’s a little slower now that Shining Time Station is off the air, I s’pose. But for real, @the.jabberwock and I made this yesterday figuring out how to hook up the @hellorokoko mocap suit to blender- whole thing only took like an hour (not including a bit more render time). I hadn’t realised how much I’d gone out of my way to avoid ever doing digital people, but it’s been really fun to see the possibilities open up. #vfx #rokoko #filmmaking #ringo #peaceandlove #shiningtimestation #b3d #blender3d #animation #mocap #motioncapture
