Here's a visualization of global winds and precipitations on September 1st, 2019 (when [Hurricane Dorian](https://tinyurl.com/y3jewqqt) was hovering over the Bahamas, off the coast of Florida).

* Created in Python (using Matplotlib, NetCDF4, Scipy and Numpy modules)
* Public wind and precipitation data from the [NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis](https://tinyurl.com/y6mfqr6f)
* Wind particles colored according to speed (using Matplotlib "inferno" colormap)
* Rain particles scattered according to the precipitation rate

The seamless-loop effect was achieved by periodically spawning the particles at their initial location on a time range greater than the animation, and subsampling this time range before export. This effect was further enhanced by fading each particle's color to black at their birth and death, and using the "Additive" opacity in Sketchfab material settings to hide black points.

*PS: for Python enthusiasts, I've uploaded a [script to preview point cloud animations locally](https://tinyurl.com/yhyuuqev) !*

A Windy Day

The AE86 series of the Toyota Corolla Levin and Toyota Sprinter Trueno are small, front-engine/rear-wheel-drive models within the front-engine/front-wheel-drive fifth generation Corolla (E80) range — marketed by Toyota from 1983 to 1987 in coupé and liftback configurations. Widely popular for Showroom Stock, Group A, and Group N, Rally and Club racing, the cars’ inherent qualities also earned the AE86 an early and enduring international prominence in the motorsport discipline of drifting. The AE86 was featured centrally in the popular, long-running Japanese manga and anime series titled Initial D (1995–2013) — as the main character’s drift and tofu delivery car. In 2015, Road & Track called the AE86 “a cult icon, inextricably interwoven with the earliest days of drifting.

The model includes interior, but I would recommend not to try and open doors because they are not modeled completely.

This is a 3D animation ("Shelly") of a near-adult loggerhead (ID=982.000406129037) sea turtle (*Caretta caretta*, straight carapace length=86 cm) that was initially captured on June 23, 2017 by the Inwater Research Group, and then photgraphed with the Beastcam technology with 20 Canon G16 cameras.  Photographer Christine Shepard operated the cameras and the sea turtle was released that same day in good condition.  The 3D model was initially created through a photogrammetry scan using Capturing Reality.

Animator Johnson Martin  used Blender to reconstruct the full sea turtle from these scans, as well as animate the movements. Jeanette Wyneken from Florida Atlantic University, and Charles Mairne from the Loggerhead MarineLife Center each provided feedback on the movements.

This is a 3D model of Bakari, a **Southern Right Rhino** (Ceratotherium simum) from **Perth Zoo**, Western Australia, which was initially scanned using an array of 20 Canon G16 cameras.  CG artist **Jer Bot** used the open source 3D animation software **Blender** (blender.org) to fully reconstruct the rhino. The mass of the Rhino is 2225 kg and its length is 2.1 meters. Reference photos were also used as a guide to create taxonomic features onto the 3D model using Blender's sculpting tools.

3D Scan of Godzilla toy from NECA, based on Legendary Pictures' 2019 *Godzilla: King of the Monsters* and part of the Monsterverse.

5/21/2020: Re-Uploaded with updated Texture.

3D scanned in color with the Artec Space Spider 3D scanner. Total time spent 3D scanning: 5 minutes. After scanning in initial position standing upright on turntable, the figure was flipped on its left and right sides to capture under the tail and feet. 

Total time processing in Artec Studio software: about 3 hours. This articulated figure was rigid during flipping, however the tail segments moved slightly. In order to preserve this detail and fix the movement in post, the raw data was duplicated and individual tail segments were isolated so they could independelty be repositioned relative to the initial upright scan.

The Sukhoi Su-35 (Russian: Сухой Су-35; NATO reporting name: Flanker-E) is a designation for two separate, heavily upgraded derivatives of the Su-27 'Flanker' jet plane. They are single-seat, twin-engine, supermaneuverable multirole fighters, designed by Sukhoi and built by Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Production Association (KnAAPO).
The first variant was designed during the 1980s, when Sukhoi sought to upgrade its high-performance Su-27, and was initially known as the Su-27M. Later re-designated Su-35, this derivative incorporated aerodynamic refinements with increased manoeuvrability, enhanced avionics, longer range, and more powerful engines. The first Su-35 prototype, converted from a Su-27, made its maiden flight in June 1988. More than a dozen of these were built, some of which were used by the Russian Knights aerobatic demonstration team. The first Su-35 design was later modified into the Su-37, which possessed thrust vectoring engines and was used as a technology demonstrator.

My entry for the #AngelsAndDemonsChallenge.
Had a lot of fun with this guy. Some areas aren't as polished as I wanted them to be but I think it's close enough to my initial idea.
Cheers!

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 is a mid-engined sports car produced by the Italian manufacturer Lamborghini.
Launched on 28 February 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show, five months after its initial unveiling in Sant’Agata Bolognese, the vehicle, internally codenamed LB834, was designed to replace the then-decade-old Murciélago as the new flagship model.

* In 2000, BMW redefined its super sports coupe, the M3 by placing a 3.2-liter DOHC inline-6 under its hood. Based on the E46 3 Series that underwent a full model change in 1998, the new M3 pumped out a fierce 338 HP at 7900 rpm and a hearty 269.0 lb-ft of torque at 4900. This meant that this amazing machine achieved more than 99 HP per liter when the six cylinder spun to its 7900-rpm redline. What really brought the motor to life was the M3's new gearbox. Initially, it came equipped with a Getrag 6-speed manual, but later BMW added the SMG II, the company's prize two-pedal (twin clutch) semi automatic transmission.

This model was made for a college assignement in which a product had to be developed that could benefit people. I chose to create this arm as I belived it to be a feasable piece of technology that could realistically be developed in the near future. Initial ideas such as teleporters and hoover boots were considered to be too unrealsitic. Inspiration for this model came from YouTube and Instagram accounts featuring similar 3D work along with informative videos on the use and function of exisitng prosthetic arms. I wanted to create an arm that maintained the familair human form of an arm with full motions such as an adjustable elbow and five finger movements.

Modelled and animated in Blender.
Textured and baked in Substance Painter.
Set to accurate scale.
Ready for use in a game/animation scene.
PBR textures (AO, Base, Metallic, Normal, Roughness, Emission).

This re-education center in Kashgar city, Kashgar was initially constructed as a school. In 2017 as the crackdown began it was converted into a large scale re-education facilitity. 
It has been heavily featured in propaganda efforts after it was sanitised in late 2018/early 2019. 
Recently, it has been completely desecuritised and satellite imagery suggests that it potentially being decomissioned. 
This model shows the facility during 2018.

Given the recent scientific news and the fact that I'm on the "experimenting with volumetrics" path, I figured out that trying to reproduce space objects with simple force-driven particle simulation could be a fun exercise. Here are some first tests !

This object was made by moving 1000 particles around (rigid body rotation initial speed, one central repulsive force and two attractive ones), and "registering" their paths in an alpha voxels grid (225x225x225), which I finally mapped to textured planes for the volumetric effect.

A final central sphere was used with refraction parameters to create the center "black hole".

Might be resource intensive, sorry for that !

[Original HR object](https://www.artec3d.com/3d-models/napoleon) (6.8M tris) captured by [Artec 3D](https://www.artec3d.com/) ( [on sketchfab](https://skfb.ly/RWsK) - 200k tris).

![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/8kJkZgs.jpg)

# Process

* The initial mesh was remeshed to an intermediate object with Meshlab (quadric edge collapse decimation) and **mmgs** (6.8M -> 950k tris)
* Details (ropes and sword) were splitted from the horse body (mark sharp edges -> edge split -> separate), and batch remeshed for better results.
* The resulting meshes (70k tris total) were then manually unwrapped (+manifold edges seams) and merged.

# Material

The material was created from scratch on the high resolution object before being baked to 2K textures:

* Bronze patina on the top
* Mix of metals on the body
* Smoother metal on the edges

"From death comes life" were the final words of this katana's wielder. This katana was used to put an end to unneeded violence and making the world a more peaceful place. But in the end, before the wielders dream was realized, he also fell victim to this unneeded violence.


The katana is infused with a cherry blossom, which stands for a time of renewal.


I made this katana initially because I was watching Demon slayer and got inspired to make my own katana, after starting this project I dropped it pretty soon. But after I started watching One Piece, I felt motivated again and finished this project with a lot more than I initially planned. I first only cared to make the katana but later I found I wanted to make the Saya (cover) and the katana stand as well.


This model is not intended for a game, but could be used in one. If you want to use it in a game, I would recommend baking the Tsuka wrap onto the Tsuka handle (The Tsuka wrap is 25k poly's). This would make the performance a lot better.

A beautiful example of imperial ship production, the destroyer Vigilant was developed by order of the Inquisition, as a response to sharply increased activity of the Revenant cult. The project was personally supervised by special agent Miranda del Arte. The Inquisition is well acquainted with the activities of the Order. The two organizations that since have undergone a huge metamorphosis, faced each other in the days of the old Direktorium. Despite the initially narrow specification, Vigilant proved to be a versatile combat machine. It was soon adopted and the blueprints have been presented to UMC.

Time to share this model I've been working on for a while! It's Ouro Kronii from Hololive Council! Really happy how this model turned out this time round because I put a lot more focus on having a practical mesh to work with when I go onto rigging (I even made blendshapes! haha ヾ(≧▽≦*)o). Because of this, I was able to make this pose a 'little' more dynamic than my other ones.

I also had her other sword model completed, but I didn't include it here because I wasn't happy with how it turned out. I switched to 3D Coat Textura since my Substance Painter license expired and I had to get familiar with the new software. I was initially happy with how the first sword turned out, but I got into the groove to things when I was texturing the second sword. It turned out much better and I couldn't be bothered re-texturing my first attempt. I also enlarged the sword so the pose would work.

The Chrysler Saratoga is an automobile built by Chrysler. The nameplate was used from 1939 to 1952 and from 1957 to 1960 in the U.S. market, in Canada through 1965, and in Europe from 1989 to 1995. In the beginning, it was introduced as a sport luxury model, using the Straight Eight engine from the Chrysler New Yorker which was more formal, and the Imperial which had graduated to special order limousine.

It was named for Saratoga Springs, New York, and is home to the Saratoga Race Course, a thoroughbred horse racing track.

The Saratoga was introduced one year after the luxurious New Yorker and was well equipped, wearing the Chrysler nameplate. It was initially more expensive than the New Yorker, then marketing changes repositioned the Saratoga more modestly as the Imperial took the top of the Chrysler hierarchy followed by the New Yorker.
