HyperBole!! Taste The Asphalt! Mostly made this last year but finally finished it up! Big mix of hand animated stuff, physics sims, and lots of @hellorokoko mocap shenanigans. There’s a 4Kish version on YouTube if you want a few more pixels 🙂 Thanks to @kaitlinbones_ , @makeronthemove , and @mazagranphoto for being photoscan models!! #cg #vfx #cuberpunk #speed #blender #b3d #animation
Timelapse of cooking up some Digital Stir-Fry in Blender with Cloth Sim Veg! The arm was animated super quick with a @hellorokoko suit (the IK chain parented to the shoulder and arm)- worked super well!! . .#b3d #vfx #digitalart #scifi #cyberpunk #cg #blender3d #blender #robot #filmmaking
I’ve realized lately that once something is like 98% done I kinda mentally check it off and start working on the next thing without ever finishing it. Gotta work on that! Anyways! Here’s some Blender/RealityCapture/After Effects work mix-n’-matching some sci-fi stuff for low budget backyard VFX! Thanks to @kaitlinlafrustrada for letting me objectify her with The Latest Technology, and @joshtruax for still being willing to film weird stuff with me after all these years 😀 . #filmmaking #vfx #cg #digitalart #blender3d #blender #b3d #realitycapture #photogrammetry #scifi #digitalart
I made a walkway then realized there was no place for a seat- it *almost* makes some sort of mechanical sense 😛 rigging wise, it’s just a bunch of IK chains patented to each other (check out the little IK tutorial from last January if you’re curious) #b3d #rigging #cg #vfx #scifi
Download the free “Camera Shakify” addon for blender over at Robotsoup.com ! Huge thanks to Nathan Vegdahl, and all the amazing folks over on the Patreon who made it happen. I hope it’s useful! #b3d #vfx #cg #filmmaking #digitalart #blender
A quick tutorial for IK rigging basics in Blender! If you’ve never played with IK, its hugely useful. Thanks to @wilbert.roget for the music at the end! . .#cg #vfx #tutorial #blender3d #b3d #blender #scifi #rigging
Some days we all feel a tad uncanny. Thanks to @nathan.h.taylor for being the photoscan model! And yeah, a bunch of tuts n’ assets will be up in the patreon if any of it seems useful 🙂 BOIDS4EVER – guy animated really quick with the @hellorokoko mocap suit! #b3d #boids #birds #cg #vfx #filmmaking #digitalart #cyberpunk #blender3d #rokoko
Animated this traffic light system with just two keyframes, offsetting the UV data in a mapping node 😀 Each light gets its own column in the control texture, which feeds the strength of an emission material. The countdown was maybe overkill, but was also really fun to map out 😀 I know stuff like this has probably been done a billion times in games, but it’s so great to not have to set up all those keyframes. This has also been really useful for quickly setting up complex animated neon signs and chasing lights and such. #vfx #blender #cg #cgi #animation #b3d
Mushroom Hunting! Best thing about animating folks on hoverboards is you can almost pull it off with just noise modifiers! Huge thanks @thomaspajamas for being the ultimate Sk8er Boi. I was able to put the entire environment together surprisingly quickly using photoscans I’ve snagged over the past year- totally in love with this workflow 😀 . #vfx #cg #animation #digitalart #cyberpunk #b3d #blender #photoscan #skaterboy
The Historic Interplexa Lighthouse- an element for a shot I’m working on. It’s wayyyyy in the distance but it still felt good to add some of these finer details (been working on writing the past month so haven’t let myself do too much cg!) #dynamodream #digitalart #cg #vfx #scifi
I was working on a shot that I thought had a nice environment, so I rendered out this loop! Lots of scans from RealityCapture and PolyCam, and some waterfall footage I filmed near Mt. Rainier. Thanks to Rowan and Sienna for modeling! #b3d #digitalart
Cockpittery! The assembly/cleanup file from a very fun scanning outing with the @takacollective . The scene is modeled over a LiDAR scan of the workshop stage, so with any luck if we ever do a greenscreen shoot it could line up well (very excited for that!) #b3d #cg #digitalart #cyberpunk #scifi #photoscanning #blender3d
Those nasty bike boys of Interplexa. This was an assembly file for a scan library that ended up growing into a full image. It’s been a blast running around the neighborhood scanning everything with @polycamai ‘s photo mode- been making a big ol library of ground/environmental assets 😀 #b3d #dynamodream #scifi #digitalart
You can pre-order a hand-screen-printed version of this poster by @barrytheartguy at the link in my bio! I absolutely love Barry’s work and I’m so so pleased he was able to work on this 😀 Because yeah! The first episode of Dynamo Dream is out and it’s been so amazing having people finally be able to see it (if you haven’t yet, it’s super easy to find on Google). Thanks so much to everyone who checked it out and shared your thoughts 😀 Working hard on the second episode! With any luck it’ll be much faster than 3 years 😀 #dynamodream #screenprinting #poster #scifi
The Lobster War, morning of 11 Aug, 215 🦀 Thanks to Auckland Museum on Sketchfab for the king crab model! #lobsterwar #digitalart #blender3d #b3d
Working with some new photoscans and textures i snagged out on the Olympic Peninsula! Grabbed some good moss (a translucent plane set up like a bazillion times) 😀 Thanks to @nathan.h.taylor for modeling as the wee cosmonaut! #b3d #realitycapture #scifi #digitalart #nature #blender3d #photogrammetry #vfx #cg
“Elmo’s”- based off of a scan of @saint.kaitlin ‘s bone collection and a not-as-awkward-as-you’d-think scan of a grocery store with @polycamai . Honestly I don’t even know how this fits into a sequence, I just wanted to make it. . #vfx #cg #digitalart #b3d #blender #fantasy #photoscan
Testing out some moss assets i made based on the real stuff in my back yard- 1 million little sprites, here :). Unfathomable thanks to @hexeract for the gift of the RTX 3090!! It made rendering this scene not only possible, but enjoyable! Seriously incredible to just brute force nature like this. Thanks, man 😀 Also- there are 10,000 types of moss, and once you start noticing it you’ll see it everywhere and it’s gorgeous. At least in this climate. PNW has bonkers moss. I really gotta get up and clear it off the roof. . #cg #3090 #photogrammetry #moss #vfx #blender3d #b3d #digitalart #realitycapture #blender
Go get ‘em, Bike Boys. Still really enjoying digitizing my neighborhood with @polycamai – I find it weirdly fun that this whole thing is (mostly) made up of actual bits from near where I live. #cg #vfx #b3d #fantasyart #photoscanning #blender #digitalart #neverstopexploring
SpaceTug for SpaceBoats! Modeled about 5x as many details for this than you’ll probably be able to see in the actual scene- fortunately it’s mostly copy-and-paste :/ #b3d #scifi
All the grown ups were excited when the gods came back. -Been going nuts scanning everything with RealityCapture and Polycam. Maybe too nuts?? Figuring out lots of ways to clean up the scans and de-light them and all that, it’s been fun but tricky. #cg #vfx #filmmaking #b3d #scifi #blender3d
Haha!! My friend Teague just sent me a huge pack of hand-painted graffiti based on the Huberfish font he made. It’s all absolutely fantastic 😀 Thanks to Nathan for being a great model, and @saint.kaitlin for letting me scan her horse skull with @polycamai #cg #vfx #b3d #blender #digitalart #photoscanning
Christmas time is the best time to make videos about how it’s Christmas Time! RiP Burl Ives. #b3d #animation #christmas
